Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has said that at the moment there are no plans to bring the period drama to the big screen but added that he is open to the idea.
In an interview with Deadline.com, Fellowes said: "So I think to have them all killed in a bus [in the upcoming series finale] would be a mistake. I think we bring various things to a conclusion and anything unresolved is unresolved.
"I'm open to the idea of a movie but I'm not anxious to do it. In my experience, and naming no names, the movie of the series is often a disappointment."
He continued: "Normally they're not very good because the film producer says, 'Oh, it's not going to be anything like the series', and of course what you want is for it to be exactly like the series.
"I hope we would avoid that error in doing one, but I do have mixed feelings about it."
Fellowes' Downton colleague, executive producer Gareth Neame, added: "We are up for doing it, the cast is up for doing it. There are a lot of things to work out. We have the ambition to do it, but no firm plan about it or when it would happen."
Dowton Abbey is currently filming its sixth and final season.
