LONDON - Get out the tiaras and the best china. Hit British television series “Downton Abbey” is about to arrive on the big screen and the makers are feeling uncharacteristically nervous.
“When something’s been a big, big hit on television and you make a movie, there is a kind of onus that the movie should satisfy those people who loved the show ... I think I was aware of that and conscious of it,” creator Julian Fellowes, who wrote the screenplay for the “Downton Abbey” movie, told Reuters at the world premiere on Monday.
The television series, set in the early 20th century, ran from 2011-2015 and won numerous awards for its portrayal of the quintessentially British stiff upper lip.
