I have a GH2 and will be shooting a feature film with it starting on 25 June--
Saving Dinah. I wouldn't waste money on the Canon 5D MkII, not because it's not a truly fine camera that shoots great video, but because it just doesn't matter. The differences between the images of all these cameras is imperceptible from an audience's viewpoint.
If I had the money to spend that you have, I'd invest in fine sound equipment, and perhaps camera support equipment. Stuff that weathers the passage of time (my tripod an O'Connor 50D was built in 1972).
Better yet I'd go to Trigger Street or Ink Tip, and see if I could option a great screenplay, because what really, really, really matters is the story.
Like all features today, no matter the cameras used, we'll be releasing Saving Dinah in theaters equipped with D-Cinema projectors. I assure you no one in the audience can tell if a D-Cinema film was shot on a Red, an Alexa, a GH2, or a 5D. It just doesn't matter.
