Are we finally getting a Downton Abbey Movie?
Downton Abbey took the world by storm when it first graced our screens and broke our hearts when it ended at Christmas 2015. Even before the Crawley’s had left Downton Abbey, rumours were rife of a big screen movie.
Show creator Julian Fellowes has revealed that he is in fact writing a script, but they are still awaiting the green light on the movie.
During a webchat with the British Guardian newspaper this week, Fellows said
“I keep being asked about the Downton film. I’ve done some work on the script because I don’t want to find there’s a green light and no script ready”
He continued to say
“But we’re still waiting for that green light from the studio. The difficulty will be rounding up all the cast as, compared with most series, it has such a large cast. And it needs them to feel Downton-esque. I know the cast are behind it and there’s a big audience out there”
He added that
“On most movies, unless it’s Spider-Man 6, you’re taking a punt. But it’s pretty likely the Downton film will happen.”
The hints don’t stop there!
Lily James who rose to fame as Lady Rose said that discussions over a Downton movie were “definitely” under way.
At the Los Angeles premiere of “Baby Driver”, Lily told the press that “there’s definitely rumours and discussions going on” when pressed about her involvement she smiled and said, “umm maybe”
It seems that Downton Abbey will soon be back on our screens!! Let’s keep our fingers crossed! We will update you as more information released. Here’s some favourite Downton moments to keep you going……
