@maksnew did you ever get the 35mm rental version?
Maybe we can organize a crowdfunding somehow?

I'm open for any idea. All I have now is 3 trailers of one looks really, really good.

Same, I hope a 35mm pristine copy appears and can be preserved.

Hey folks,

I'm new to the forum, my English is a bit rusted but I hope you welcome me  

I'm a huge, huge fan of Danny Boyle's "The Beach" and since there's no HD release
in any sight, I'm curious what to do. The VOD releases are OK, the spanish bootleg
(using the same data) is OK, but somehow this movie feels completely lost and the
beautiful images by Darius Khondji deserve a proper release.

One time someone sold a never-used 35mm copy of the movie on ebay, but it
ended above my price limit.
I'm a filmmaker myself, so I know what I had to do with the material, but costs are endless...

Hope you're as much frustrated as me

It makes me so sad to think that there literally was a pristine unused 35mm of it that could've been turned into a beautiful 4k scan yet someone else bought it and lets it rot...

Also i wish you would've contacted us sooner about it, i definitely would've given monetary support to acquire this film and have you scan it (especially seeing how well you did with the trailers of it)

Next time (hopefully in our lifetime) another high quality 35mm appears please do try a crowdfunding, so i can finally rest easy once i know this gets preserved for future generations in high defintion

It was years ago, when someone sold it on Ebay. Back then I didn't even know that there were any other
maniacs doing their own scans

Feel free to finance scanning the whole movie ;-)

Next year I will have the opportunity to get a good Russian rental copy of this film in 35mm and make a decent digitization. Now it is possible to receive only Russian 5.1 sound from rental 35mm.

@maksnew
Any update on this please?
