Everything about [this story that the *Downton Abbey* movie is allegedly for sure happening](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2017/06/22/happening-downton-abbey-movie-set-film-2018/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) makes me laugh. Stuff like this gets released all the time -- some dude says, "oh, yeah, that rumored movie is totally going to happen" and everyone writes stories about how it's full speed ahead, locked down, 100% on the books, and then you ask any of the actors (and Julian Fellowes!) and they're all like, "um, maybe someone should tell my agent?" In short: I'll believe it when I see it, even if the source *is* a high-up at the studio. I don't even know if I think there *should* be a *Downton* movie. I mean, if it's a good story, yes. People love to revisit characters they love. BUT given how all over the place the last few seasons of *Downton* were, story-wise, I have concerns. On the other hand, Fellowes can OBVIOUSLY write a film script, so this might actually turn out well. Perhaps, a la *Gosford Park*, someone will FINALLY be pushed down that *Downton* well, and the whole movie can be Lady Mary solving the murder. (The perpetrator is *clearly* Mr Bates. Poor Anna.)

Let us also discuss one of our favorite topics: How people from *Downton* look, out of character. Click on the photo itself if you want to see it ENORMOUS, as ever. We've got, from left to right:

Carson, looking dashing and tan, like he's just flown in from the South of France; Molesley, looking slightly Moleselian; Lady Edith, looking GREAT in a navy stripe with a great red lipstick; producer Gareth Neame and Julian Fellowes; Mrs Hughes, also looking as if she's just flown in from the South of France, with Carson, as God intended; Footman Andy (and real-life boyfriend of Laura Carmichael); Liz Trubridge, who is a producer/production manager (and who I somehow forgot originally; I am sorry, Liz!!); and, finally, Daisy, looking FANTASTIC. Somewhere, Lady Mary is *very put out* indeed.
