I know that at least this can be done. (although we still won't get the nice shallow depth of field)
with details -no way because diffraction messes things up. but with everything else: it could be pretty soon. modern dslrs tolerate sensitivies up to ISO6400 with good enough quality. That is 4 stops more than it was with film age. So compared to film, you need only 25mm f8 now. you loose ability to use dof but 25mm f8 is much cheaper, smaller, lighter and better than 25mm f2. so the photosensitivic frame techonogy (plus minor improvements to microscopic zeiss lenses, which are btw superb with 35mm system if you use those as they are supposed to be used....) is the thing drives cellphone cameras.
