The CBS drama series that refused to die (at least for a while) may get yet another lease on life in the form of a feature film according to iFMagazine.com:
“We’re developing a feature for JERICHO,” says Turteltaub. “It would not require you to have seen the TV show, but it get into life after an event like this on a national scale. It would be the bigger, full on American version of what’s going on beyond the town in Jericho.”
The article isn’t much to go on and being in development certainly doesn’t mean the movie will get made. For those nutty fans of Jericho, though, it’s good news. Still, it’s best not to get too hopeful at this point. Not every beloved television show can be like Firefly and get the big screen treatment (Serenity).

Hmmm, this might not be the kind of news we're looking for, though. It sounds like the movie would take place at the same time as the first season of the show…so fans of the show would actually know exactly what was going on. It'd be difficult to make it for non-fans and not make it a re-tread of the first season, wouldn't it?
