The wheels are moving on the "
Downton Abbey" movie as NBCUniversal International Studios confirmed on Wednesday that production for a big screen adaptation of the hit series is set to begin next year.
NBCU Int’l Studios President Michael Edelstein told the Associated Press that the company hopes to assemble 20 cast members from the Carnival Films/Masterpiece series, which ran on ITV in the UK and PBS in the U.S., for a production start date in 2018.
“
We are working on getting the script right and then we’ve got to figure out how to get the cast together,” said Edelstein. “
Because, as you know, people go on and do other things. But we’re hopeful to make a movie sometime next year.”
