A couple of more thoughts...
I had a friend who worked for Lowry Digital, and he said that when most movies are transferred, they make copies that have 5000 lines of resolution, somewhat future proofing them. He mentioned the Bond films were done like this.
Also, I seem to remember rumor that Peter Jackson mentioned something about a longer version than the extended versions might be made on the new HD formats. Wouldn't that be fun!!
