I haven't really looked into it much but with the overwhelming number of cameras for sale I figured it may have been far easier to just ask first!
Such a camera does not exist at this time. Leica briefly offered a digital back - the Digital Modul R - for their 35mm R8 and R9 SLR cameras but discontinued it in 2007. I suppose you could find an R8 or R9 with the Digital Modul R back but it will likely be very expensive.
In the early days of digital photography a company long forgotten tried marketing a digital back for 35mm cameras but it too quickly vanished.
Hasselblad and Mamiya medium format cameras offer digital backs that replace the film back which makes them a sort of hybrid film/digital medium format camera.

If you can find that Leica and digital back, be prepared to spend upwards of $10,000 for the privilege.
The Hassy digital back is $10,000 all by itself, plus the cost of the camera and lenses. Now you're up to $15,000 easy, for a basic kit.
Pick one brand, say Nikon as a for instance, and get both digital and film SLR bodies. An N90 and a D90 would be a good combo. You only have to buy one set of lenses and flashes and all that stuff, as it will work on both bodies. You could also do this with Canon or Pentax easily. Minolta/Sony will keep the lenses, but the flashes are not all forward and backward compatible. Oly doesn't do film anymore, and all their film cameras are completely different than their current digital cameras.
