Primeval movie and new franchise ideas?

The big Primeval news this week is that Warner Brothers have bought the rights to make a movie out of the show.

I'd read in one of the papers this week that the future of the show was uncertain because the special effects required for Primeval are eating up ITV's budget at a furious rate. However, it looks very much like the series will live on: there's talk of both this movie version and an expansion of the series to take in new locations. Imagine, if you will, ARC teams all around the world. How about Primeval: Miami? Or Primeval: Ciaro?

The officially released details are as follows:

In a high-six-figure deal, Warner Bros. has acquired screen rights to "Primeval," the ITV series that airs in the U.S. on BBC America and Sci Fi Channel.

Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster will produce through Goldsman's WB-based Weed Road banner. Emily Cummins will also be involved in a producing capacity.

Goldsman, who scripted the Ron Howard-directed "Angels and Demons" with David Koepp, will hire a writer to draft "Primeval."

The movie version will shift the action to the USA (naturally), so chances are the existing ARC team will be hosed in favour of some sexier Hollywood style peeps. However, I wonder if that'll destroy the quirky chemistry between the characters?

What do you think about different spinoff series' of Primeval? More dinosaur-based shenanigans or a watering down of the franchise?
