The film adaptation of the hit period drama "Downton Abbey" is reportedly in the making.

In an interview with ITV's Lorraine Kelly, actor Jeremy Swift, who played Septimus Spratt on the HBO TV series, has revealed the movie may release this year, reported Harper's Bazaar.

"It's supposed to be happening-filming-this year, but it hasn't been locked down yet. It's just getting everybody in that same space and time... I think there's a huge appetite for it."

Swift even said that the new script passed on to the cast members which seemed to have disappeared somewhere.

"There is a film script that we've all been sent but it disappeared in a Mission Impossible-style from our emails... With a little puff," added the 56-year-old actor.
