I have a feeling that since I have never seen those posters for sale, nor have I seen them at a movie theater, that they are what is becoming more common... digital posters. Art created for the internet and those few theaters who have digital movie poster displays. I am doubting very much if they exist in any physical form. Every so often studios make digital posters that never actually get printed, or if they do they get printed as reprint posters strictly for commercial sale.
I may be mistaken, but since I have seen these nowhere, it is the only conclusion I can come to. I cannot even find them on Ebay, so that should tell you something. They may also be Banner only images, something often done with Character art.
Another poster I could not find was the Teaser for Peter Pan, Other than being in U.K. Quad or a banner I have never found the artwork depicting Peters flying silhouette in front of the Pirate ship. Nice art, just cannot find it anywhere.

has a ton of different type of posters. The Kurasawa one is 250 bucks. On printed silk and they only made 500.
They have a lot of other movies as well. No last samurai though. Poster books might be cool though.

I don't think it is on silk, rather the description states it is silk-screened. Many of the posters are priced on the high side.

Well, I'm not sure if this helps or not, but I did find something similar listed on Ebay. I went looking there because that Watanabe one is awesome and I must have it. The ones on Ebay are some banners from Thailand or something and they are in Thai, but they are at least the same images. Here's the link:
I can ask my poster distributor this weekend if you would like. There hasn't been much that she hasn't been able to supply me at good prices for. hit me a e-mail or aim.

Well, if anybody does find it, let me know as well. Also if anybody finds the Peter Pan poster I mentioned above I would love to know.
By the way, anybody who is interested, www.Newline.com has The Return of the King Banner for sale. only $59.95 + $7.95 shipping. That is an incredibly low price for a theatrical banner.
It measures 5' x 10'.

I think I read somewhere that these posters were not actually printed, but were "digital posters" used to advertise the movie online and at theatres that had flat-panel televisions running advertisements.
I know I haven't seen any printed on paper, but still, I could be wrong.

I know one person who posted above said that they could be just digital posters. That would be a real shame, the Watanabe one is great looking.

Don't know if they have what you're looking for, but you can try these guys. I've brought from them a few times in the past and have been satisfied. They've had quite a few of alternate print posters in stock previously.

movieposter.com has a reprint of it for $16.00. They have a great site and B&M store in Toronto. (but they don't have those Last Samurai ones. I don't think they exist as actual posters either)
