Great poster, reminds me of the good old eighties.
It' s from west germany. It' s been made for the video stores for the VHS release of the pilot movie in 1986.
I used to have it, but I gave it away long time ago.
On german ebay you still can get it for about not quite 50 bucks.

The miniseries The Executioner's Song was released in in European cinemas in a 97 min. version It was cut down from the lengthy two-parter, but in the feature version, as Buffy once put it, "We're talking violence, strong language, adult content..." I've seen both versions, but while the shorter one has plentiful Rosanna Arquette nudity (also some from Tommy Lee Jones) but the miniseries version is superior because the story holds together better there.

What made these five feature films so special is that specially filmed bridges were used to link the episodes in order to comprise a feature film. Time Warner claims that the master negatives for these films no longer exist, D.C. Comics on the contrary claims to possess the negatives in their archives. The only thing related to the George Reeves "Superman" legacy not on D.V.D. or Blu ray.

Only one of the five films has a current copyright. That is SUPERMAN IN EXILE, which is registered to D.C. Comics, Inc. Perhaps that's why they haven't been released. If the other four are in the public domain, any legitimate release would be immediately swamped by a dozen PD versions.

In early 1962, director Arthur Hiller filmed the pilot for a television series called "Empire", which starred Richard Egan as "Jim Redigo," the foreman of a ranch in modern-day New Mexico. The series was picked up and began airing on NBC in September 1962, with co-stars Anne Seymour as the ranch owner, Terry Moore as her daughter, and Ryan O'Neal as her son. Charles Bronson joined the cast mid-way through the first season as a ranch hand. The pilot did not air as part of the series during the first season, and because of low ratings (the series aired opposite "Red Skelton" on CBS and "Hawaiian Eye" on ABC), the hour-long series was revised for season two. The series was shortened to half an hour, most of the cast except for Egan was jettisoned, and it was renamed "Redigo." With the pilot episode now unusable for airing as part of the series, Columbia Pictures (parent of show producer Screen Gems) took the pilot, added footage from some of the later Charles Bronson episodes and released it as a theatrical feature overseas under the title THIS RUGGED LAND.

The 6-hour mini-series THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES was originally scheduled for release in September 1979 as a major kickoff to the 1979-80 television season. Unfortunately, it fell victim to some negative publicity from Ray Bradbury himself. Although Bradbury had worked with scriptwriter Richard Matheson in adapting his book to the small screen, he was less than thrilled with the final production. At one point, shortly before the mini-series' scheduled release, Bradbury found himself the sole representative of the production at a press conference. When one reporter asked him what he thought of the series, he responded candidly, "Booooooooring!" NBC soon shelved the film and did not air it until January 1980. Following its U.S. television airing, the film was edited down to 90 minutes for theatrical showings overseas.
