Los Angeles
AFTER a four-year absence from theatres, Ang Lee will return this fall with a searing film about young American war heroes that may land him in the Oscar race. But the movie - billed as a cinematic leap forward because of the digitally radical way it was shot - has faced a major question.
Because few commercial theatres have projection systems that are technologically advanced enough, will anyone even be able to see Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk with all of Lee's bells and whistles?
