	Yes, there is a new high-speed film format
being developed.  However, it is Douglass Trumbal (of Brainstorm) who
is pushing it, and you won't see it in a theatre, but in an amusement
park.
	It's called showscan.  It uses 70mm film shown at 60 frames per
second onto a spherecal screen.  It does cause more emotional reaction
to the film.  Because of the cost, Trumball has not gotten backing from
any studios yet.  He tried to see it to Showbiz Pizza, but they decided
it was too much for their setup.  He has made a short film in it, and
there are a couple of theatres in amusement parks.  
	I hope this is accurate.  There was an article about it in
Boxoffice a couple of months ago, but I don't have it with me now . . .
