Yeah, no.

A) We're talking high resolution here, a good 35mm theatrical print should have resolution equivalent to up to 1080p but at least 720p, so a non anamorphic SD telecine can not compete with it in terms of detail, even if it was telecined from the original negative.

B) The medium of capturing image on film is grain, so a print will never be less grainy (smoother) than an earlier generation source - it will have the grain of all the previous generations + another layer of grain of its own.
