How about this: find a reel of 35mm film—any copyrighted movie on 35mm—hand that to your contact, and see how that turns out. If that's a smashing success (post some frames here for an opinion on just how smashing?), then collectively we can concentrate on getting a 35mm print of the droids we're all looking for.

All these film project ideas have suffered from this cart-before-the-horse problem. It's like thinking, "Gee, it'd be so cool to drive around in a Formula 1 car," then buying the hugely-expensive F1 car without first figuring out the equally tricky (but probably cheaper) problem of where to drive it.
