The Collossus is in Langley. It is not digital, but they have HUGE screens and even a few IMAX screens. The seating is so so that no one is sitting directly in front of you, for there is a row above a row, etc. The sound is amazing also. But the screens are gigantic. The outside of the theater is a big spaceship.
And yes the digital version of the movie is the version that makes it onto DVD.
It will never happen. Digital projection is so far off in the future. I was GM of a theatre that wanted at least one digital screen in each theatre...but that division closed even before it began. Its too expensive AND not everyone is on board...especially if they can keep raising the prices without improving the theatrical experience.
That's why...if you ever have anything detract from your experience...you report the bastards...especially to the THX 800 number most movies advertise in the credits.
There is not excuse for sloppy presentations at this price. But we tollerate it...so we'll go w/o digital screens for quite a while.

I heard that Famous Players in Gloucester (ottawa) is gettign the digital copy! I said that to my friend and he's like "You do know, all amc's have DLP projectors..blah..blaahh" ..Then I blocked him
Looks like the CRTC POS Capital of Canada pays off for something . Now I won't have to go to Waterloo!
One of my theaters here had a digital projector..but they got rid of it. As mentioned before..I sure hope Dagobah is in the final version..you can't be missing an ending. It wouldn't make sense to have Obi taking Luke to Tatooine, Leia being taken to Alderaan..etc and not show Yoda. I wonder if they'll have Chewie being taken into slavery..

I have seen BOTH versions and there is NO difference between them. However...the quality is extremely impressive. The digital fx are much better, and cleaner...and some of the piss poor head replacements look much better in DLP. The sound levels were much more pleasing too.
DLP is how this film is meant to be seen...go do it!!!!
