'Primeval' movie confirmed

ITV has revealed that a Primeval movie is going ahead.

Last month, an ITV insider confirmed to DS that discussions were underway for a movie based on the cult series.

Warner Bros. has reportedly acquired the screen rights to Primeval in a high six-figure deal.

According to Variety, Akiva Goldman, who scripted Angels & Demons, and Kerry Foster will produce the film.

"There is a solid mythology to the series, but the movie has the dinosaur element of Jurassic Park and the time travel element of Lost, and it just feels like the kind of big movie that Warner Bros. does well," said Foster.
