[opendtv] Philips 21:9

I saw a snippet on Philips offering a 21:9 screen for the movie buffs. 
What to do with 16:9 content?

In a similar note, I watched parts of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in our new 
auditorium on a 16:9 Stewart screen, using a Christie7K projector and JBL 
THX processor and speakers.  The source disk was a commercial Blu-Ray. The 
overall experience was close to that of a modern film theater and looked 
as good as, if not better, than a standard projected film.

What surprised me was that the film actually had letterboxing on some 
scenes.  Other scenes, mainly action, filled the whole 16:9 area but 
dialog and other scenes were letterboxed (black on top and bottom) with 
perhaps a 21:9 or so ratio.

So how would a 21:9 deal with a Blu-Ray that is authored in this way?
