...much cheaper to distribute movies digitally, rather than printing film and shipping it to movie theaters, that both Hollywood studios and independent filmmakers view the Net as the grandest gigaplex of them all--though they haven't sorted out who will benefit the most. Last week Adam Sandler's people said the funnyman would be doing the main voice for a free, Net-only animation, The Peeper, due out next month at WarnerBros.com And Metafilmics, producer of Robin Williams' $100 million-grossing 1998 film What Dreams May Come, revealed plans to produce a movie, The Quantum Project, which will...
