Can't create or export movies in 1080p from iMovie 10.0

Tried creating a new project in the new iMovie released in 2013, and would only creat 720p videos. The only videos I have in iPhoto and in my event library are 1080p videos. Also, when I go to export, I am only able to export in 720p or smaller. Any help?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Refurbished

What the **** ? Can you stop to say ********* ? It's a bug, a problem to fix. The problem it's not that u don't use real 1080p videos, trust me. I have the same problems and i use 1080p videos, from my Reflex or from my camera. And on the internet, it's full of users that have the same problem, like us.
And wanna know something realy funny? If you create a new project, then a new video, sometimes it works in 1080p, other times only in 720p, and it's decided random, even if u don't important anything, if u create a new video, then u click on it, you can read ' 1080 ' - ' 720 ' - 480 ' it depends by the mood of the program lol. It's such a bug, that i hope, developers will fix.
