Picked
this up this weekend for $20.00 from Retro Rare collectables, an original studio-issued
press kit for the 2000 re-release of William Peter Blatty's THE EXORCIST
(1973) directed by William Friedkin and starring Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow
and Linda Blair!! Comes with original presentation folder, production
notes booklet, cast and crew bio booklets, and four (4) 8x10 BW
publicity stills all packed in original Warner Brothers studio folder.
Very happy to find this. Going to get Linda Blair to sign it at the end
of the month. Press kits like this one are pretty much a thing of the past
as studios have adopted cheaper CD-Rom press kits as the preferred
method of publicity. And in some cases, web-only based press kits.
Bottom line - traditional press kits such as these, with 8x10 stills
and/or slides are becoming increasingly more scarce as time goes on and
as a result, much more collectible and valuable.
