The costume of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Patrick Swayze’s surfboard in Point Break and Liam Neeson’s lightsaber in The Phantom Menace are on the menu of a gigantic auction of objects from Hollywood films organized this week in Beverly Hills. Batman, Back to the future, Harry Potter, James Bond, Game of Thrones or Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Willis and Keanu Reeves: in total, more than 1,200 objects linked to iconic films and celebrities are on sale Thursday and Friday by the specialist house Julien’s Auctions near Los Angeles.
The most sought after pieces should be the black suit signed Perry Ellis worn by John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and Liam Neeson’s lightsaber as jedi Qui-Gon Jinn in the Star Wars installment The Phantom Menace, both estimated between $ 20,000 and $ 40,000, like Bruce Lee’s famous yellow jumpsuit (worn not by the actor but by the stuntman who served as his understudy) in The Game of Death or his custom-made black nunchaku. The outfit endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2, with biker jacket and matching leather pants, is estimated between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000.
A poem by Marilyn Monroe
In addition to the now usual batches of magic wands wielded by various characters from the films Harry Potter, fans of action films will be able to try to acquire dummy weapons wielded by Bruce Willis when he played John McClane in the saga Die Hard or used on the set of John Wick. A fake obsidian dagger used in the series Game of Thrones to fight the creatures coming from the cold will even be put under the hammer, for an estimated price between 3,000 and 5,000 dollars.
Fans of legendary actresses can dream of a series of personal items that once belonged to the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe, including a handwritten poem, clothes worn by Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day or even the golden lasso that fitted Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman.
