You've got to quote something, so that we know who you mean by "they," and what they "certainly would" do. Because if you are talking about places with a film scanner scanning your 35mm print, then no, they certainly will not.
If you owned a 35mm print of Star Wars, it's not at all clear you'd have the right to scan it digitally -- it's not even clear you really have the right to own a 35mm print of Star Wars.
Now, if you were to buy your own digital telecine, I guess you could pretty much do whatever you like. If you could find the half mil required to buy one, and knew enough about how to use it to get good results, then I could find you some film.
I'll continue to check out all film scanning threads as they're started, but I haven't seen much of anything novel or feasible in any of the many posted here so far.
