Note other lots in the auction may close on June 29th or July 1st. A "Mystery Math Magician" newspaper from Gus Van Sant's Academy Award-winning drama Good Will Hunting. MIT's The Tech newspaper ran a story about an unknown genius on campus surreptitiously solving math problems posed by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard). This lot consists of a color-printed, production-made newspaper cover with the lead story headlined "Mystery Math Magician Strikes Again" and dated "March 19, 1997" applied over a separate, real-world copy of The Tech newspaper. The newspaper was ultimately unused in the final cut, though Lambeau refers to its headline in one of his MIT courses. The lot is in excellent overall condition with creasing throughout from folding and minor edge wear from production use. Dimensions: 12" x 17" (30.5 cm x 43.25 cm) Estimate: $500 - 700
