The sale will feature props, costumes, models, memorabilia and beyond from some of the most iconic characters of film and television’s most popular science fiction, fantasy, action and superhero franchises spanning from the 1950s to today’s modern new classics. The two-day presentation kicks off with a special evening session and will include items celebrating “100 Years of Warner Bros.” offering exclusive artifacts, ephemera and more from the legendary films produced by the storied Hollywood studio.

The most iconic and beloved alien of all time will be at the center of this celebration with the offering of an original hero mechanical animatronic E.T. head created by the legendary Carlo Rambaldi and as seen throughout Steven Spielberg’s, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. TCM and Julien’s previously sold a full E.T. animatronic model for over $2.5 million dollars.

This sale will feature one of the most famous and legendary robots of all time, Model B-9 “The Robot” from the pioneering science fiction series of the 1960s, Lost In Space. One of only two full-scale figures that were made during the show’s three-year run, this is one of the rarest artifacts from the era ever offered at auction which also is still functional.

In continuation of “100 Years of Warner Bros.” year-long festivities are items from the biggest Warner Bros. film franchises of all-time: Harry Potter and Batman. An original screen-matched, special effects Headmaster's robe worn by Richard Harris as "Albus Dumbledore" in the film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, his gold-tone glasses as well as wands from all of the major characters across the wizarding world will be offered.

Director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton were the modern-day dynamic duo that brought the Batman franchise back to life from its early comic book incarnations in the late ‘80s.

Julien’s and TCM are thrilled to present a stunning and newly restored Batman costume worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s, Batman Returns.

Also on offer is a collection of never-before-seen original paintings by Tim Burton, created early in his career, including an original work featuring Batman’s arch nemesis in “The Joker Steals Christmas”, painted on a large 20x28” canvas and housed in a red and white, candy cane-style frame.

Included among Julien’s and TCM’s first-to-market treasures is an incredible pair of circa 1740's hero, screen-matched, non-operational flintlock dueling pistols used by Johnny Depp as "Jack Sparrow" in the film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

From the Caribbean seas of the 18th century, Julien’s and TCM venture into the to the vastness of space in the 22nd century with chilling items from one of the most critically acclaimed films of the genre, Alien, whose iconic logline “In space, no one can hear you scream…” changed science fiction forever.
