OK, it has the smell of bullshit to it, considering it's unnamed sources involved, but what would we think to this?
If it were tied in to the series some how, expanding the universe, so to speak, I'd be happy to go to cinema to see it.
Primeval the movie?

I take it they would replace the cast with big names which would be a shame because i like Ben Miller and Andrew Lee Potts.
Not necessarily. Actually, as things currently stand, it'd be quite easy to slot in a couple of big name American actors as US locals who encounter an anomaly, and then have the established 'second string' characters - Connor, Lester, etc - appear as the longer experienced 'expert back-up' from the UK.
What names do you think they could get?
I would love Samuel L Jackson.

^I think the idea of international teams is probably something we've all thought about. I'd be interesting to see that there was some kind of international initiative to deal with it, and not just a small team in London.
Well, that's one of the 'Elephant' questions that hasn't been addressed yet: either anomalies are opening across the planet, so you'd think other governments have set up their own teams to deal with the situation...
Or... they are only opening in Britain, which would be a big coincidence, unless someone is somehow in control of them, and is doing it for a reason. A reason connected to people surnamed Cutter, at a guess...
there's a motherfucking Smilordon in my motherfucking shopping mall!
Looks like there might be something to this.
comparing it to Lost & Jurassic Park, when you remeber that Lost was filmed on the same island as Jurassic Park, is this movie just going to be.
Lester: Gather round team, the americans want in on this operation, so meet your new cast memebers.
Connor: Ive just created improved the detector, so it can keep up analomys all over the world, not just the ones conveniently located inside the M25
*siren goes off*
Abby: Connor is that a test?
Connor: no Hannah (
) its real
new US cast member: where is it located
Connor: a small Hawaiian island
Cutter: wait that sounds fimilar
Abby: Cutter your back
Cutter: well now its a movie im quite happy to return, oh & im from another time line created by my pesky ex wife, I sure hope we dont see her in the next two hours
Conner: yeah because things are never fun when your ex is around.

I sounds suspiciously like it's going to be an all new take on it rather than a continuation of/connected the show.
well one more alt timeline cant hurt.
that said it could be like what I think the new Trek movie is.
Helen Cutter travels back in time to before the TV series starts, and changes the timeline, so the movie has a whole new timeline.
But then the series would never happen, and my dvds would disappear off the shelf.
well my S1 boxset is still on the shelf, despite the timeline change, and what of your Trek DVDs?
Sounds kinda unnecessary. We have the Jurassic Park movies and that new one with Will Ferrell. How many dinosaur flicks do we need anyway? 
If this movie happens, it will be Nick and Scarlett running around being chased by dinos, and not too much else. Having characters from a show that 99% of the audience doesn't even recognize wouldn't be worth screen time that could be better used by more dinos and Scartlett's bouncing chest. Ya gotta think like Hollywood.
My Magic 8 ball says...Nicholas Cage and Scarlett Johansson.
Seems unnecessary. If they want to create a spinoff series, and think it might have a hope in hell of success, they can do it now. Using a movie to launch a TV series is an unusual strategy (probably because the expense isn't worth it). Star Trek would be an exception but has a unique history that wouldn't apply to other franchises.

Lost is filmed on Oahu and Jurassic Park was filmed on several Hawaiian islands, including Oahu, the Big Island and Kauai.
