Good news, everyone!

Davespeanuts has responded, and it appears that the owner of the 35mm film reel set may be keen on helping you guys out.  Here is his reply:

I tried and cold not get the link to work (the one to originaltrilogy.com I sent through Ebay PM), I do also have a near mint 16mm LPP print.......If you could get me their email that would be cool Beans.....Or have them message me directly.at: trancelucid@verizon.net

So is he looking to charge us or is he willing to share his 16mm LPP for free?

I do not know yet.  I just sent him an email through my live.com account... so I guess we'll go from there (though I think it would be fair to at least cover whatever shipping and insurance costs he might have to spend).

If you want to email him too, feel free to, as I mentioned he might be receiving some greetings from fellow OT.com members welcoming him to the community.

PS: I think he is mentioning the 16mm print as a back-up, as he doesn't mention that he WON'T allow the 35mm film reels to be used.

Regardless, I'm crossing my fingers, my toes and my nose hairs that the 35mm is accessible.

One last thing: since it appears that we have a member who has access to the tech to transfer film to an HD format, there is a 70mm set of film reels of BRAINSTORM for sale (currently @ $127).  If I purchased it, would someone here be able to transfer it to 1080p?  The current blu-ray Warner put out is rather.. lackluster to say the least.
