The most important political topics of the day can be found compactly in our briefing DIE LAGE.
In 1980, the Empire slunk back in the cinemas, and in 2019 Star Wars fans hit an auction: One of the few helmets that actor David Prowse wore as "Darth Vader" during the filming of "The Empire Strikes Back" will be in late September auctioned in Los Angeles. Of course, including a proper mask. From the movie comes the famous scene with Luke Skywalker, as Vader says, "I am your father." According to the auctioneers Profiles in History, the estimated price is between $ 250,000 and $ 450,000. The result could be even higher. "Star Wars is always popular," said a spokesman for the auction house. "It has never been so popular as it is now, as strong as the franchise continues." At the auction "Icons and legends of Hollywood" on the 25th and 26th of September nearly 1000 pieces will be offered. Calculated with a total revenue of more than ten million dollars. Also on offer is a dress from the movie classic "The Wizard of Oz" (1939, estimate up to $ 500,000), a lunar vehicle from the James Bond movie "Diamond Fever" (up to $ 600,000 in 1971), a dress that Kate Winslet in "Titanic" from 1997 contributed (up to $ 150,000), and a "Harry Potter" glasses (up to $ 30,000). 8/29/19 4:00 AM Good morning, dear readers!
