Movie

Blimey IMDB have cut pages and pages of threads since I was last here so I will restart this. Just picked this up from GQ Russia interview with Matthew Goode published yesterday - quick translation below.

You had no regrets when the previous, sixth season of Downton Abbey, was announced as the last one?

I mustn’t complain, as my character, Henry Talbot, has finally married lady Mary! (Laughs.) The creator of the series, Julian Fellowes, had to write so many excellent scripts, but he managed to finish the show on a beautiful, winning note. He did not suffer the fate of TV shows that close after the absolute loss of the audience interest. If you count all seasons chronologically, at the end of the sixth season the Countess - portrayed by Maggie Smith - would have turned 110 years old. Although I can please the fans: now there is talk of shooting a full-length movie.

Would you star in it as well?

It may well be! Julian has already wrote the script. The main thing now is to link all the actors schedules, who started to be torn apart by the producers immediately after the completion of the series. Michelle Dockery, my wife in the series, is now engaged in several projects. But I am sure very soon you’ll hear about the movie, and then I’ll tell you more about it.
