Here's a look at the official press kit for the 1994 The Shadow movie. I was able to find a nice copy at a decent price and couldn't pass it up!
The press kit comes in a black folder with The Shadow and Universal on the cover.
There are 3 booklets (8 1/2 X 11) inside the folder. These have the Universal logo in the upper left corner and The Shadow logo in the center.
Cast and Credits gives a detail list of everyone from the actors to the companies that provided the visual and special effects.
About The Shadow was written by David Chute and gives a background of The Shadow from the pulps to the radio show. It's 9 pages of great information!
Production Information gives a synopsis of the film and brief biographies of the principle actors and crew (director, etc.). I like this part from the first page, "This latest incarnation of The Shadow remains true to its pulp and radio roots, putting a contemporary spin on the best-remembered elements of the original."
The final part of the press kit is photos! They are all black and white glossy prints with The Shadow logo on the bottom center and a brief description on the bottom right. Here are a few examples.
The Shadow press kit was well put together. If anyone wasn't familiar with the character, the press kit would have been a good introduction to him. If you're a fan of The Shadow, and especially of the 1994 movie, I recommend getting a copy of it for your collection!
Nice find. I'm jealous. Wasn't aware of this and now I must find one for myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I happened to find it on eBay at a good price and decided to get it.
