This is not too likely, Larry.  A fair number of movies are being 
shot on video, these days, but are then converted to film, for 
distribution, as the theaters are not willing to make the huge 
investments in digital projectors ... at least until they know that a 
projector will be good for, say, 15 to 20 years ... as their film 
projectors are.  In the digital age, this is not too likely!
