You can scan it at 16K if you want, but whether it'd actually produce the kind of visual quality people buy expensive upgrades for is another question. The benefit of 4K over well-mastered 1080p for stuff shot on 35mm is not going to be astonishing.
The kind of material that would really sell 4K TVs is not yet being made in meaningful quantities.
