This link is to a video of The Wall Street Journal interviewing Barry Sonnenfeld, director of Men in Black and RV. All you crazy innovative Indie filmmakers should take a look. In the piece he talks about digital cinema and the diminishing release window from movie to DVD.

The part I enjoyed most was the segment about digital projection in theaters. Barry Sonnenfeld brought up an interesting possibility in which movies could be re-released in theaters with extra footage after they had been out for a few weekends. Currently the cost of producing the film copies for theaters makes this ineffective, but by being able to download the movie directly to theaters the cost of extra copies becomes negligible.
