As previously announced, Jack Thorne will pen the script with assistance from show creator Bryan Elsley. The film will be developed by Film4 with Company Pictures, Stormdog Films and CinemaNX.
Controller of Film4 and Channel 4 Drama Tessa Ross said: "It is very exciting to be migrating across from E4 to Film4, this extraordinarily talented team from Skins, who have successfully grown such a wonderfully loyal audience over the course of the last four series."
Director of Company Charlie Pattinson added: "Given the huge amount of support from the ever-expanding fan base of the series, we feel that we can go much further and produce yet another unique Skins experience."
Several characters from the four E4 series of the show are expected to feature in the Charles Martin-directed project, with shooting in Bristol and the Isle of Man starting later this year and the film scheduled for a summer 2011 release.
