I’ve seen a few pop-ups of 35mm AOTC here and there, usually for around that price.
I wouldn’t be much help actually preserving it as that’s not exactly in my skillset, but I too would be more than willing to donate towards buying a print if someone were willing to work on it.
How the film was released almost 15 years ago and the only theatrical version we have is a rubbish camrip is beyond me.
I second this. If i can get those two shots and the DTS tracks, I’ll edit this myself!
