I concur that we should get involved.
I talked with Ton from the Blender foundation a year ago and he was very

 very interested in using FLOSS tools for that process. However..

I don't think that's true. The two main remaining issues are 'good

soundfonts' especially for the Orchestra of movie soundtracks.

5.1 mixing is the second problem.
The latter is not necessarily a show-stopper. To mix-down one usually

hires a cinema dediated to mixing/mastering, with appropriate equipment.

 - At least that's what I did for the film-soundtracks I've done with LA

and the blender foundation seems to be able to afford that.

That is (or was) not the main point of Blender's goals. They want(ed) to

 push their 3D/Video engine and hiring someone who does the complete

soundtrack was much easier for them. - But that's where LA could come it ;)
