More contemporary 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy copy photograph (not a vintage original photo printed at the time it was taken) from the classic 1950's sci-fi thriller, INVADERS FROM MARS, released in 1953 by 20th Century-Fox and directed by William Cameron Menzies, in which a young boy (Jimmy Hunt) learns that space aliens are taking over the minds of earthlings. The image features a great interior publicity long shot depicting young David MacLean (Jimmy Hunt) standing near a large alien with green skin and large insect eyes as it holds what looks like a ray gun as the boy cowers in fright. This single-weight glossy copy photograph is in very fine+ condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. Invaders From Mars was actually one of the first science-fiction scripts written in the 1950's. The revised version of the script was completed in September 1950 and the film wasn't produced until 1952 and released in early 1953. According to script supervisor Mary Yerke, director and production designer William Cameron Menzies filled 12 notebooks with charcoal sketches depicting every scene he planned to shoot. Just days before principal photography, all of these storyboard sketches disappeared from the production office. This film was shot on the new single-strip EastmanColor negative. Cinecolor Labs then produced the trailers and release prints in the three-color SuperCinecolor process. When Cinecolor went bankrupt, the original elements and printing matrices were seized and sold for salvage.
