The glib answer is that it's possible. It's really just a matter of time and/or money. How much do you wish to spend of either?

yeah, it's possible but it sure will take a lot of time, you probably need to color the frames a frame-by-frame

I don't think you can do it in Premiere, you can probably do somewhat decent job with After Effects or Commotion Pro but it would take a loooooot of time (a LOT!). I'm not sure what program the studios use, but here's more info:

You could find and contact Film Colorization places and see how much they charge.

Ooooohhhh~!!~ Black and White to MONO-Colour Movie should be some clicks only. But for a full colour movie. Forget about it. except you have LOOOOOOOT OF MONEY (hire some people to do it) OR TIME ( do it yourself).
