Actually, the Academy has a marketing archive. Charlie Powell, my old mentor started it. If any of you dealers or collectors wanted to make a donation, they would greatly appreciate it. UCLA also has some sort of still archive.
I am not familiar of any archive for Sony Pictures and I know it is always a challenge when pulling films for release on DVD and they want the old marketing material. They call the Academy or UCLA. When I was at Fox, it was the same way. Disney has a decent archive run by Dave Smith. But he did that all on his own and over the years has made it into the studio archive. Most of the Studios I have worked at or visited have the real marketing material up on the wall. Some of it is repos (Which KILLS me) but some of it is the real deal. I always love going to some of the buildings to see them. Most of the stuff at Sony is in hallways out of direct sun and out of people's offices.

Mopo, I was wondering if the studios kept records of the promotional material used for their films. Does anyone know? For example, if someone from WB or Sony Pictures wanted to look up an old poster from the 30's, could they? Would they still have the material used? Or at least a photograph record of the poster/lobby card/stills from their library. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
