Not only is 35mm a good idea, it should be fine-grain 35mm. When we were experimenting with HD captures of 35mm for the FCC ACATS (Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Services), we had a short piece of "Murder She Wrote", and the film grain was annoying in HD. These days, CBS is demanding all filmed productions be in high-quality 35mm.

Also, not to be mean, but Angela L. needed more makeup in HD.

And a third thing - we found we couldn't use the clip because it wasn't framed for 16x9 ratio. There was one scene where the bad guy and Angela are talking, and we couldn't understand the gist of the conversation until we looked at the complete 4x3 frame, and the baddie was holding a gun, just below the bottom of the 16x9 cropped picture! The framing would allow showing either the gun or their heads, but not both!
