Bergman goes digital?

[John Sprung]

I haven't been able to get this link to work, but it's supposed to be an HR story on Ingmar Bergman releasing his next film -- or sholud that be picture, or movie -- exclusively in digital projection:

Ah -- there. I got it to work. It says the picture is a sequel to "Scenes from a Marriage", shot digital, and released digital because Bergman didn't like the look of the 35mm filmout.

With less than 1 percent or so of theatrical screens equipped for Digital Cinema, how will this be shown theatrically? Or does "released digital" mean direct to home DVD? I hope this doesn't mean using the lower resolution digital projectors currently being used for pre-show advertising, ala the recent AMC experiment with "Final Cut":

It was made for TV, so that was their main market. This obviously very limited theatrical release is an ancillary for them.
