And here's a guy selling hand-built 16mm telecine equipment, for a few thousand dollars.

No, it's clearly impossible. Can't be done.

Nice article on the resolution of 16mm here:
http://www.cinematechnic.com/super_16mm/resolution_of_super_16mm.html

Selected quotes:

"The image resolution of a Super 16mm film negative, using available prime lenses will be at least equal to the maximum possible resolution of uncompressed 1080p HD video" [ideal]
"We do know, however, that resolution of the Super 16 film negative far exceeds that of the NTSC digital video system." [reality]
