However most movies only have 24 frames per second so any more than that would just be duplication which is a waste of space.

If there was a source with 60 true independent frames it could be encoded and stored that way.

That said, they would need to be sure that there was a mechanism to 'downconvert' that to 1080i, etc for those that can't use 1080p interface. That is the only issue that I would see...

Well Im thinking For TV making it would be smart to shoot in 1080 @ 60p, 4:4:4 and 48 bit RGB for a good master.
And It could easy be coverted to 1080 @ 60/25i US/EURO.

But the if it could be stored with 60 unique frames per second can all BD players play it? Is the hardware powerful enough??

I.e. IS 1080 @ 60p within the BD specification

Btw I love this forum!
