I guess the usual route: Via your booker and the respective movie studio, especially for upcoming releases like Interstellar or maybe Tarantino's new movie. But I guess you'll be out of luck for Interstellar. I'm not sure if even a single 5/70mm print will eventually make it to Europe, but maybe there's some hope .
And like Leo already mentioned, for vintage prints, you need to look for archives or collectors that are willing to provide a print. You still need to get proper licensing from the respective studio obviously.
But I'm afraid that the willingness to provide such a delicate print is probably limited. Would you, for example, want to provide one of the last prints of anything to somebody that you're not sure if they actually can handle such a print?
I'm not totally sure about the cost nowadays, but a 70mm print like Interstellar will probably cost anywhere north of $15K or maybe even more. For existing movies, there will simply be no new prints...
