This device replaces the back of your old film camera and lets you take 16-megapixel photos. https://petapixel.com/2017/10/17/im-back-new-digital-back-old-35mm-cameras/ It's currently on Kickstarter so there's no telling if it ever makes it to market.
That's a clever idea, but there are two problems, first it's not very clever, and second, as I often either point out or demonstrate, there can be a huge disparity between clever ideas and good ideas.
IMNSHO there are really two appropriate solutions to the problem. Either shoot film while you can still get it processed, and then if you want get it scanned, or buy a digital body that lets you use your legacy glass. The options for this seem to be (as appropriate to your gear): High end Nikon that will meter off AIS, Pentax, Leica, or some EVIL body that allows you to get an adapter to use the lenses you want to play with.
