Frankly, with that kind of consideration, I'm surprised they're being dumb enough to shoot in 1920x1800. Is there simply not the storage capacity/bandwidth to deal with shooting higher?
74.6 megabytes of data per second (at 24fps, 4:2:2 colour space) at 1920x1080 and that's with no audio. Not sure what a natural shoot-to-keep ratio for feature films is (never worked on one), but for documentaries it's easily 10 to 1, not counting B-roll.
Assuming a s-t-k of 20:1 for a film, that's about 8 terabytes of footage.
Plus, try to find a CCD that's natively higher in resolution than 1920x1080.
Then doing post/CG additions at insane resolutions turns a render farm into Animal Farm.
Not sure exactly what the answer is, probably a combination of all these.
