“eXistenZ” (イグジステンズ), Original Japanese B2 Movie Poster 1999, B2 Size (c. 51 × 73 cm) ZA509
This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed for the 1999 Japanese release of eXistenZ, David Cronenberg’s bio‑tech science‑fiction thriller starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Ian Holm and Willem Dafoe.
Film background
The film centres on Allegra Geller, a celebrated game designer who becomes the target of assassins during a focus test of her latest virtual‑reality system, eXistenZ. Plugging into organic “game pods” via umbilical bio‑ports in their spines, Allegra and reluctant bodyguard Ted Pikul dive deeper into nested game worlds where allegiance, reality and identity blur. The film extends Cronenberg’s interest in body horror and technological obsession, offering a surreal, twisty counterpart to more mainstream VR stories of the era.
Poster design
The Japanese B2 is dark and sensual. A bed drenched in red occupies the centre, viewed from above, with Allegra and Ted lying head‑to‑toe across it, framed by shadowy arms reaching in from the darkness. The organic game pod and fleshy bio‑cord coil between them like a living umbilical. Above, a sleek Japanese tagline promises a journey that “starts from the back and goes to the brain.” The film’s title “eXistenZ” dominates the lower half in large, blood‑red letters, with the Japanese katakana “イグジステンズ” and detailed credit block underneath.
Condition
Excellent. Please review the photos—they show the exact poster for sale. The black background is rich, and the red bed and title text are wonderfully vivid.
