I'm certain that any 35MM print will not have as much picture information as 720p, let alone 1080p. Although there's a clear difference in quality with the 2004 DVD's to the 1993 LD's - most of that was achieved through digital filtering and image processing. If they transferred it again, and only removed large, visible, obvious deformities - it wouldn't be that different to the 1993 master, even if it was scanned at 720p or 1080p.
Boris, when it comes to the subject of "resolution", you have no idea what you are talking about....ZERO. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....
Educate yourself by visiting this link
and just in case you don't make it that far, here's a little part that you'll want to know about...
Resolution in various media
* DVDs have roughly 500 lines (or TV lines, or lines per picture height).
* High definition television has 1,080 lines.
* 35mm movie film is scanned for release on DVD at 1080 or 2000 lines as of 2005.
* 35mm optical camera negative motion picture film can resolve up to 6,000 lines.
* 35mm projection positive motion picture film has about 2,000 lines which results from the analogue printing from the camera negative of an interpositive, and possibly an internegative, then a projection positive.
* Newer films are scanned at 4,000 lines, called 4K scanning, anticipating any advances in digital projection or higher resolution in flat panel display.

Let's see DVD = 500 lines of resolution ...... 35mm motion picture film has about 2,000 lines of resolution
Take the time to learn about something BEFORE you make a fool of yourself.
