I just found out today on IGN.com that Wii can work with a projector screen.  
My roomate bought a projector for our townhouse, we project TV,DVD's, and N64 games on our wall.  The size comes out to be 9.5 feet diagonally.  Mario Kart 64 is amazing on it to say the least.

My entertainment system stuff is 20 feet away from the projection screen where the couch is raised up on a 1.5 foot platform to the left of the couch.  There is a mantle above my fireplace, right under where the projection is.  I figure that would be the perfect place to put the light bar sensor.

So where do I put the Wii to pick up the wii-mote signal? The light bar sensor cord is 10 feet long.  Do I have to put my wii right under where projection is?

I would be amazing if I could put it with my other entertainment stuff but the cord wouldn't reach.

Any ideas?

You can probably get an extension cord.  Nintendo loves add-ons! :lol:

I'm wondering if, rather than detecting exactly where your wiimote is pointing, it instead does it similar to how the DS does.  On first startup, or any time after that, you configure it by pointing the wiimote at two different areas of the screen, and is uses that to determine where it's pointing all the rest of the time.  It'd make sense - otherwise, how does the detector bar thing just magically determine that you have a 42" set and adjust accordingly?

Anyway, if that's the case, you could probably have the sensor bar off to the side a fair bit as well.

Somewhat unrelated but the LCD TopGun also workd with projectors and LCD  TV's which is great.
It works wonderfully and is quite a decent gun but is right pain to calibrate (it has detection two bars on either side of the screen and you need to shoot 5 spots on the screen in the correct order). Once it is though it works superbly
