Total Film Magazine December 2009 Issue 161 Twilight New Moon Pattinson Stewart 1491

Original Total Film Magazine – December 2009, Issue 161, a major Twilight: New Moon cover issue featuring Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.

This copy is especially appealing to film and movie-memorabilia collectors because an original Alice in Wonderland promotional poster/insert is clearly shown with the magazine in the supplied photograph.

Twilight: New Moon Cover Feature

The principal cover story is devoted to The Twilight Saga: New Moon, with the large headline:

“No one is safe… New Moon – How the Twilight saga took over Hollywood”

The front cover prominently features:

• Robert Pattinson
• Taylor Lautner
• Kristen Stewart

The issue is promoted as containing all-new interviews, making it a strong period piece from the height of the Twilight phenomenon and particularly relevant to collectors of the films, cast and late-2000s cinema magazines.

Other Cover Features

The cover also advertises a broad selection of contemporary film coverage, including:

• Matt Damon – interview/feature
• TRON 2 – with Jeff Bridges discussing the sequel
• Spike Jonze
• Predators
• 2012
• TV-related coverage
• A Marvel feature referencing Spider-Man 4, Iron Man 2 and Captain America
• Contemporary blockbuster and upcoming-film coverage

The magazine therefore offers a useful snapshot of mainstream cinema around the end of 2009, covering both established franchises and major forthcoming releases.

Giant Poster / Alice in Wonderland Insert

A separate Alice in Wonderland promotional poster/insert is clearly visible beside the magazine.

The poster has a predominantly black background with stylised Alice in Wonderland branding and colourful imagery along the lower/side portion. It carries the Disney name and the wording:

“Important Date 3/5/10”

This corresponds to the promotional campaign for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and gives the piece additional appeal as film memorabilia.

The magazine itself advertises “FREE GIANT POSTERS” across the top of the cover, and the supplied photograph confirms that at least this Alice in Wonderland promotional poster/insert remains with the copy.

It is particularly useful for collectors because film-magazine posters and inserts are frequently removed from surviving copies.

Condition

Pre-owned magazine. Please study the supplied photograph carefully, as it forms an important part of the condition description.

From the visible image:

• Front cover remains bright and strongly coloured
• Main cover image and text remain clear
• Some light surface rubbing/scuffing is visible from handling and storage
• Minor wear is present around the outer edges and corners
• Lower and side edges show light age-related handling wear
• Spine appears intact from the visible angle
• No major front-cover tears are apparent in the supplied image
• Poster/insert is present and appears complete in the photographed view
• Poster shows some light surface marks/handling wear
• Overall presentation remains good for a magazine of this age

I would describe this as a good used collector copy, with ordinary age and handling wear rather than mint condition.

Collector Appeal

A particularly good issue for collectors of:

Twilight, New Moon, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Total Film Magazine, Disney Alice in Wonderland, film posters and late-2000s cinema memorabilia.

The combination of the December 2009 Twilight cover and surviving Alice in Wonderland promotional poster/insert makes this more interesting than a standard loose issue.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine and accompanying insert will be carefully packed to help protect the cover, corners, spine and poster during transit.

Depending on parcel size, packaging may include stiff cardboard reinforcement, protective bubble wrap and/or a suitable cardboard box to reduce the risk of bending, crushing and impact damage.
