A question about HD Movies

[fozzybear]

Forgive me if this is a question with an obvious answer!

How are older films like Deer Hunter converted to HD? Obviously a film from the Seventies wasn't filmed with a HD Camera.

What's the process of making an older film into a much improved HD film?

Cheers guys. You learn something everyday.

I actually heard Martin Scorsese lsat night saying that he prefers to do things the old way even though filming digitally is much cheaper. I seem to remember that Spielberg isn't keen to change to digital quite yet.
