Attack of the Clones 35mm - on eBay, bought - and now project thread (a WIP)

Author

Damn… very bad timing. I wish I could afford it. My quest is to have theatrical versions of all the films and this is the only one that was never released in any form. Just the very bad bootleg.

Well, I’ll donate $50.

Oh no! A fundraiser has broken out! You guys might want to ask Poita about this since he’s already undertaken TPM. 😃

Where were you in '77?

With 10 watchers I’d say that print will sell for over $1,000.

Watchers don’t always translate into bidders and prequels seldom fetch what an OT print does. This has been relisted and reduced in price once already.

It was already passed in once without a single bid, so it might go for the listed price.
I am happy to scan it, but someone in the US will have to do the actual bidding, as they won’t sell to a non-US bidder.

I know the seller, he is a regular on the 35mm forum and is very trustworthy. The print will be as described.

If someone wants to run with this, I can give them an address to ship the print directly to, so you won’t need to store it.

Honestly I think it’s better if anyone who can donates to this and a 35mm print of ROTS when it surfaces. I’m tired of waiting for those filmized edits of the prequels which seem to have stalled indefinitelly.

From the scans of the 35mm trailers I’m 100% certain they’ll end up looking way better than the BDs.

Hell yeah, this would be awesome!

There is a ROTS print for sale on the 35mmforum

I’m willing to bid and take donations, also assuming I don’t have to store the prints myself.

There are roughly six days left on the auction.

Here is a paypal link to get the ball rolling. Of course all donations will be refunded if this doesn’t work out.

I was thinking one day, the original theatrical version of this movie in HD would see the light of day.

If you win it, I’ll send you a delivery address in LA to have it shipped to, so you won’t have to worry about storage.

I’ve sent my donation.

Thanks! We’re about half way to the initial price at this point.

Anyone wishing to donate, please try to do so today or tomorrow. We still need about $250 just to meet the initial price plus shipping.

Well, since I’ve only had about $150 donated so far, I’m not sure I’m going to bid. There are about 2 hours left if anyone wants to help out. I can’t really put up more than another $150 myself, which still leaves us about $170 short, with shipping. This of course assumes that no-one else is bidding. 😃
