Alright, I have another question. Lets say you're a director planning to make a movie. You're considering using a certain format in the filming of the movie. However, only a handfull of theaters can show a movie in that format. So if the you use that format, in most theaters the movie will not be shown correctly. With this in mind why would you make a film using that format?
Another thing, I'm no expert but how hard could be to take a 4:3 film and create a copy in a format that modern theaters are equiped to show and have black bars on the sides ? I know I probably sounding stupid but it just doesn't seem that difficult to me.
