Coming soon? Downton Abbey – the movieShow’s creator Julian Fellowes said to have been bombarded with requests for film rights following Golden Globes success
Downton Abbey is tipped for the big screen. You’ve watched two series and a Christmas special. Now, is there going to be Downton Abbey – the movie? Perhaps. The Sun tells how creator Julian Fellowes was mobbed at the aftershow parties following the ITV1 show’s Golden Globe win. “Lots of people have already asked him about film rights,” an insider tells the paper. Fellowes is no stranger to big screen success, having won an Oscar for his script for Gosford Park. Even better, the big screen version would have none of those annoying ad breaks. Just a great big one before it starts.
