I know this is a bit off topics of the forum, but the Telluride Tech Festival has need to screen 35mm prints of Metropolis (original with soundtrack or Morodor version) and Tron. If you're interested in making a few bucks and get program credit and have the Festival pay shipping and take care of your print for a single screening on Aug 11, 12 or 13, please email:bfdeal@rmi.net

I believe that the Moroder version of Metropolis is commercially available (not sure from whom, though). The Coolidge Corner Theatre shows a pretty decent print of it periodically, with live accompaniment from the Alloy Orchestra. You might try giving them a call to see where the print came from.
I vaguely remember reading that a new 70mm mag-striped print of Tron was struck within the last couple of years...

Yes, there was a single 70mm mag print of 'Tron' struck for a special screening at the El Capitan last summer.The only privately owned 35mm print ot Tron that I know of may not be good enough for you to run at the festival. as there is an issue with some fading, and it is mono. (but it does have the 'prologue' that the early prints did not have, and the cool original attached 'EPCOT Center-Opening October 1982' trailer
