This might not look too good in HD, since it was shot live.

As was mentioned, this title was shot in HD Video, so it should look great on Blu-ray.

Borat:

Film negative format (mm/video-inches):
Video (HDTV)
Cinematographic process:
HDV
DV (partly)
Printed film format:
35 mm
Aspect ratio:
1.85

Well if it was shot on HDV, a 1080 BD transfered properly should be the closest to the master, while 35mm exhibition derived from it can be no better and due to film emulsion and optics' MTF losses, grain, and projector vibrations/focusing errors could be less, and a DVD is just a downconversion of approximately 1/4th the original pixel count.

So far it's a no go according to my two suppliers.
