WMMR Promo: What’s your favorite movie prop?
Preston would have to go with Han Solo’s blaster. Steve, of course, thought of something much dirtier and pornographic.
This conversation was borne out of the fact that there was recently an auction where, at the right price, you could actually think about buying pieces of Hollywood memorabilia. Think about all your favorite movies over the years. Is there one item you would LOVE to buy?
Purchasing an item from Hollywood’s rich and long history IS possible. Items from such storied franchises like Star Wars or Star Trek might be dream of any fan. WINNING that bid at auction? Now that’s another can of worms.
Still, it’s fun to dream and think about what is out there, what could be on your shelf at home, what could be a great party conversation piece.
Last month, Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies put up more than 1,400 collectibles for auction, including Princess Leia‘s slave costume and Iron Man‘s helmet. The “Legends: Hollywood & Royalty” auction takes place from September 6 to September 8 in Beverly Hills, California.
And hey, if you hit the Powerball in between now and then, maybe you could buy something. And let us see it? Or play with your light saber? Ok cool, thanks!
