There are a few reasons why that wouldn't work, Apart from whether that scanner would work for cine film at all, which I doubt, but assuming it did,  it takes around 17 seconds per frame, that would equate to 816 hours to scan 2 hours of film.

So at 8 hours a day, it would take around 100 days, assuming you did nothing else.

Even time considerations aside, I personally wouldn't put a valuable print anywhere near something like that, and I doubt the internal software would identify the frame boundaries etc. correctly.
