35mm prints of films which are not in the public domain are not for sale. They all belong to the studio and they only get leased to theatres for exhibition. Anybody who were to own a 35mm print of Back to the Future apart from Universal Studios would be breaking the law.

What would you be able to do with a print of the film that you couldn't do with the video on the blu?

no why do you ask?

Are you unaware of the leaked DCP? That should suffice until a remastered UHD blu-ray is released.

Look, no offense, but you clearly lack both the technical knowledge and the finances needed to undertake something like this. A month ago you were complaining about a tv being too expensive at $1700, but now you want to take on a restoration of a 35mm print of Back to the Future?

For argument's sake, let's say you had a copy of the film in your possession. What would be your next step? Do you even have access to any sort of telecine equipment? Or was your plan to start a new thread for every step of the process?

i was actually looking for it so the person who has it can give it to a group on one of the big forums to work on.

People who own theatrical prints are usually extremely quite about it.

Also, a release print of a 30-year-old film is not only going to have a full theatrical run's worth of wear and tear, but also 30 years of aging and possible deterioration.

There's a reason why home video transfers are made from the original negatives except in the most dire of circumstances.

I would stick to projecting the Blu-ray - no one will say "look at the dnr and colors."

That's not going to happen. No private collector is going to loan out a rare and valuable print to a group of strangers.

Did you really think someone on this site was going to have a copy and just offer it up?
