Is The Dowager Going To Kick The Bucket On 'Downton Abbey?'
On Monday, The Independent posted the details from Hugh Bonneville, known for playing Robert, Earl of Grantham on the series. When he was asked if a film version of the British drama would happen after the series ends, he sounded unsure, but slightly hopeful.
"I don't know, I mean show me the money," he said to the Press Association at the Bafta Television Awards over the weekend. "Show me the script, more importantly."

The actor then teased that series creator Julian Fellowes may have some ideas up his sleeve.
"Where there's a will there's a way and I know that Julian has enough ink left in his pen," Bonneville said.
Downton Abbey will be coming to an end after the sixth season. Bonneville is sad to see the series go, but he thinks it's for the best.
"It's become such a part of all our lives both in front of the camera and behind," he said.
"But I'm really pleased Julian has known when to finish it, to quit while you're ahead, while it still seems a lovely thing, and hopefully it will be around on people's shelves for years to come, but it's the right time to finish," the actor added.
Downton Abbey Season 6 is expected to premiere in the United States in January 2016 on PBS.
