Another intersting read, broader than movie production (but who's
paying the bills?):

Well, I was being silly and literal there ... playing on "surround".
I've never bothered with 5.1 at home, and hear it in theaters maybe
once a year. I've dabbled a lot in binaural, headphone playback
(the the sound outside of my head, please!), speaker playback.
My interest in cross-talk cancelation comes in part from living
across the street from the late Duane Cooper. Unfortuately my
interest in binaural started just before he died.
Lurking on this list has rekindled thinking about the general
problem of capturing the soundfield, and playing it back.
In particular, getting something realistic out of a stereo
pair rotated to be say left front and left rear, might provide
a "correction" akin to the front pair with crosstalk cancelation.
