Even on "the Studio Lots" hardly any Print Masters are done with Film any more!
Very true, but every time I ask Dolby about the necessity of a 35mm projector they say that I need to have at least the capability to check a printmaster in our room, hence the need for the projector or at least a sound follower with an optical reader. I must say that most of the Dolby stages here have 35mm projection, but hardly any have a functionnal optical head to read an SR or SR-D print...

Maybe things will change soon enough.
