You lost me man. Why did you mention that the films were previously filmed in SD? Movies have never been filmed in "SD" (or standard definition) if you were in fact implying that. Film based movies have a much higher resolution than the current HD 1080p standard. When George Lucas naively filmed his newest Star Wars movies using digital projectors, he actually reverted back to a lower resolution than 35mm film. Just want to clarify that. Digital films have the potential to be great, but they're still inferior in terms of resolution (although the have less artifacts etc of course).

This is all moot of course because once the chinese plants start pumping out the next generation of DVD that is still readable on regular old DVD players there will be no BR ;)

umm. yes they were and have been..

Example:

The developmental era (1948 - 1970s): low definition TV as high definition TV

From a historical perspective ,NTSC and System-M was the first HD television transmission format.

35 mm Original cam . negative motion picture film can resolve up to 6,000 lines.

35 mm projection positive motion picture film has about 2,000 lines which results from the analog printing from the camera negative of an interpositive, and possibly an internegative, then a projection positive.
