Creator Shawn Ryan is looking to adapt his former FX TV series "The Shield" as a big screen feature starring actor Michael "Ben Grimm" Chiklis reprising his role as corrupt cop 'Vic Mackey'.

"If Fox hears 'the fans agitate' for more, it could very well pull together a feature film," said Ryan.

"The Shield" originally aired on FX Networks in the US, noted for its controversial portrayal of LA's 'dirty cops', originally titled "Rampart" in reference to the true life 'Rampart Division' police scandal that the show's 'Strike Team' was loosely based on.

The first season gained the most Emmy nominations for a basic cable drama, created by Ryan and The Barn Productions for Fox Television Studios and Sony Pictures Television (formerly Columbia TriStar Television).
