LOS ANGELES - Harrison Ford's blaster from cult sci-fi movie "Blade Runner" and a Rita Hayworth dress featured in the 1946 classic "Gilda" are among the items in a superstar auction later this month, organizers revealed Friday.
Other artifacts in the treasure trove of Hollywood memorabilia set to go under the hammer at the three-million-dollar Profiles in History Auction include an original 1931 poster for "Frankenstein" and Charlton Heston's costume from "Planet of the Apes."
The weapon used by Ford's cyborg-hunting hero Rick Deckard in "Blade Runner" is expected to be one of the standout items in the auction, tipped to fetch between 100,000 to 150,000 dollars, organizer said in a statement.
Meanwhile the one-sheet "Frankenstein" poster is also tipped to be one of the most expensive lots, with an estimate set between 200,000 to 250,000 dollars.
A light saber featured in George Lucas's "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," a monster mask used in a sequel to the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and a ring worn by legendary "Dracula" actor Bela Lugosi are also among more than 1,100 items to be auctioned, organizers said.
