You'll probably want to leave a significant space around the movie 
frame because the TV will crop the edges by an amount that varies among 
TVs. The movie projector already cuts off a fair amount of the movie 
frame, so you don't want to loose more on TV side. Its a bit of an 
aesthetic question, but personally, I'd rather see all the picture.
