Hope,
You were completely correct -- anyone who suggests otherwise is trying
to claim that only the first release of a film can produced an "original"
movie poster and that just isn't logical. Very simply: Any movie poster that was
produced by the studio and sent to the theaters to be used to advertise the film
in question qualifies as an "original" movie poster.
By the way, this gives me an opportunity to comment on something that has
been bothering me:
Movies are "released" -- they are NOT "issued".
"Re-issue" is the wrong term to apply to a movie poster. I don't know how
it came to be applied to movie posters, but I've been seeing it thrown around a
lot lately. It is an incorrect application and the term "re-issue"
should never be used to describe a move poster. There is no such thing as a
"re-issue" of a film -- the correct term is "re-release" and a poster produced
to advertise the re-release of film should be correctly described as:
"an original movie poster for the 1954 re-release of GONE WITH THE WIND"
... or whatever.
