If memory serves, it is flat with all digital formats. Universal release.

It's FLAT! I got it all built up with a Scope DTS at the beginning... and its Flat. I hate it when that happens. 
Thanks for all your help guys!

Can't you just, like, look at a frame and tell? Distorted picture= scope. Normal= flat. No guesswork.------------------

I've got a great idea! ANAMORPHIC CONTACT LENSES! Now you can look at the film on the rewind bench, and see a scope frame as it was meant to be seen on the screen. 
Ever since they got out of the projector lens business, Bausch & Lomb has been looking for a way to use their experience with CinemaScope to sell more contact lenses. This is IT! 
WARNING: Using these contact lenses to look in a mirror may make you anorexic.

Hey Sara,
If its flat and you run it in scope the hurricane will be far larger and that'll add much excitement to the film. Give that some thought.

It takes a while to subconsciously learn to blink your eyes instead of moving them back and forth to follow the frame as it goes by. Until you learn to do that you get nasty headaches and neausea.
How about something for the headache you get from trying to look at the moving film?
Gotta' admit, it's a great way to impress people. Just get a piece of film going on the rewinder and tell people what's on it. They'll get dizzy and fall down before they figure it out!
