BRAINSTORM (1983) - Douglas Trumbull Collection: Set of Scripts with Transparencies and Slides - Scripts with transparencies and slides from Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm. Trumbull resigned from Hollywood shortly after finishing the film in the wake of star Natalie Wood's sudden death.

This lot comes from the collection of the director and special photographic effects artist Douglas Trumbull. This lot consists of two scripts, one "polish draft" with "tentative title" for Brainstorm and a revised draft for "The Dunlap Tape" with 144 pages each. Also included are two binders with 117- and 132-pages of film stills and an additional 106-pages of stills; 225 slides; 59 SFX transparency sheets; 65 extended SFX transparency sheets; additional 41 loose slides; an additional 114 loose transparent film stills; and 46 film strips. This lot exhibits tearing, discoloration, stickiness between the transparencies, and a buildup of grime. Dimensions: (largest) 28.5" x 12" (72.5 cm x 30.5 cm)Visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull was born in Los Angeles in 1942. After abandoning architecture for technical drawing and cartooning, his talent for photorealism soon earned him work at Graphic Films, an esteemed Hollywood studio for which he designed groundbreaking cosmic effects for the 1964 New York World's Fair. After seeing Trumbull's work, director Stanley Kubrick hired him to create animations and VFX shots - including the iconic Star Gate sequence - for what would become his seminal masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. From that film's success, Trumbull became one of the industry's most trusted photographic effects experts, designing and producing legendary screen moments in such sci-fi landmarks as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Blade Runner, all three of which earned him Academy Award& reg; nominations. In addition to directing the cult classics Silent Running and Brainstorm, Trumbull later received a Scientific and Engineering Award for his high-speed photography process Showscan in 1993, one of two specialty awards given to him by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences before his death in 2022. 60 years since he first made his mark on global cinema, Propstore today celebrates Douglas Trumbull by presenting a selection of rare memorabilia from his personal collection to the public.
