Speaking to Movieweb, the actor revealed that he will reprise his role as soldier Titus Pullo in the feature film.
"It is no longer a smoke and mirrors rumour," Stevenson said of the movie. "The script is in full development. As you are probably aware, this is a pretty strange process. We could go into production in a year, or it could be as quick as six months. Who knows?
"It will happen. At least it is no longer a rumour. From what I have heard, they are nearing the end of script development. We shall see."
Stevenson added that co-creator Bruno Heller is steering the big screen Rome project, saying: "I don't think anybody else could write the movie. It will be Bruno at the helm. That guy has a soft spot for Pullo and Vorenus. I don't think he will let the ball drop. I don't think he will disappoint."
Rome ran for two seasons on HBO from 2005 to 2007.
