You're assuming that we're going to be building some mental, unscalable beast of a game that needs 14 gpus and a psu the size of Bournemouth in order the run it. In reality we're going to make the best game we can that will run on as many systems as realistically possible.
In that case, the game wouldn't look better than original backgrounds rendered by SGI, since most computers still cannot render such detailed scenes in real-time... if you ask me, doing a remake which looks uglier than original makes even less sense : o

BTW I don't think Lucas used just SCUMM engine, the file structure looks completely different, there are original unmodified archived MI1/MI2 files inside... I don't know, but I think the new engine is made from scratch to be compatible with normal SCUMM... would SCUMM handle animations and lightning like in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FPD2SJonwA (2:50)?
