IIRC, a 5C rise doubles chemical reaction rate, so presumably if your 
freezer is at 0C (as opposed to 20C), that should slow deterioration 
by 16X. If it's still sealed in the original foil packets, I'd expect 
it to be fine. Always assuming there's nothing else going on like ice 
crystal formation to damage the film (that used to be the limiting 
factor with batteries, cool was good but if you froze them it damaged 
them internally).

I know that century-old exposed BW film left in a cache by Antarctic 
explorers and frozen into a block of ice was successfully developed 
(it had suffered some damage, but I suspect that was from moisture and 
mechanical damage).
