For the international releases of the film, the iconic opening crawl was reshot with the text printed in other languages, including Italian. This crawl is a permanent part of the Italian-language versions of the film and has been seen by thousands of Italian cinema fans over the years. The crawl is the actual film-used element that was shot with a motion control camera at Industrial Light and Magic. The piece was assembled by hand and is made up of three black acetate prints taped together with gaffer's tape and hand-painted black ink covering up any blemishes in the prints, to ensure the lettering was clean and bold. It is in good overall condition with minimal wear from production and age. Dimensions (rolled): 40" x 15" (101.75 cm x 38.25 cm) Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000
