Los Angeles - Downton Abbey may be made into a movie.The show's cast has revealed there is a "definite possibility" that the hit ITV drama will be heading for the big screen.Raquel Cassidy explained: "There have been talks and there is definitely a possibility of a Downton film."There is real hope. It's been mentioned more than once and there's a lot of commercial and artistic interest. Stranger things have happened, so watch this space."Meanwhile, Raquel who plays housemaid Phyllis Baxter in the period drama has admitted that Maggie Smith, who stars as Countess of Grantham Violet Crawley, can be "intimidating" to work with.The 46-year-old actress revealed to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Maggie is a genuine grand dame of the industry and doesn't suffer fools gladly. She can't stand people who approach her all nervous and intimidated, that immediately gets her back up."She wants you to operate on her level or not at all. Then again, if you're like that she probably won't even notice you."At the same time she's very talented and also game for a laugh if she thinks you're worth it. She's intimidating if you're easily frightened. Actors need a thick skin especially in the presence of somebody as iconic as her."
