This was poster was signed by Martin Sheen at the BFI, London, when he was with his son Emilio Estevez. They were at the BFI to talk about Emilio Estevez's film The Way, which Martin Sheen starred in.

It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.

This American epic war film was directed, produced, and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, and stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, and Dennis Hopper. The documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, chronicles how Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now was difficult to make, owing to the extraordinary script, shooting, budget, and casting problems, and almost destroyed the life and career of Coppola. Brando arrived on the set overweight and unfamiliar with his lines. Sheen, unfortunately, suffered a heart attack during filming. Even though the making of this film was plagued with many problems, the finished film is considered a masterpiece.
