LONE SURVIVOR

Original 2013 Double-Sided U.S. Advance One-Sheet Movie Poster – Mark Wahlberg

Film: Lone Survivor
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Eric Bana
Director: Peter Berg
Studio / Distributor: Universal Pictures

DESCRIPTION

This is an authentic original 2013 U.S. theatrical advance movie poster for Lone Survivor, the acclaimed military action drama based on the true story recounted by former U.S. Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell.

The striking poster features an intense close-up image of Mark Wahlberg as Marcus Luttrell, dressed in military gear, with the memorable tagline:

“LIVE TO TELL THE STORY”

The poster also carries the film's prominent promotional line:

“BASED ON TRUE ACTS OF COURAGE.”

This is the advance theatrical design, one of the primary posters used to promote the film before its wide theatrical release. The artwork was part of the original 2013 campaign and is documented as a U.S. one-sheet design produced for theatrical display.

Directed by Peter Berg, Lone Survivor stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana and dramatizes the events surrounding Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan.

The dramatic monochromatic / sepia-toned artwork gives this poster particularly strong display appeal for collectors of military films, true-story cinema, Mark Wahlberg memorabilia, Navy SEAL history, and modern war films.

This is an original studio-issued theatrical movie poster — not a reproduction, reprint, or decorative poster.

GENRE

For the primary Shopify genre, I would use:

War

Secondary:

Action / Drama / Biography

For this particular poster, War is much stronger than simply “Drama” because it better matches both the film and the audience most likely to search for this piece.

CONDITION

Condition: See photos.

From the supplied photographs, the poster displays very well overall with strong contrast, clean imagery, and excellent visual presentation.

There appears to be minor handling / edge wear consistent with an original theatrical poster, but I do not see any major distracting defects in the supplied photographs.

The poster appears to have been stored rolled with no traditional fold lines.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description and show the exact poster being offered.

Magnets are used only to hold the poster flat for photography and are not included.
