It was rumoured that they were contemplating making a film for the Merlin series, and that if they were to do that, they would completely restart the story-line. Which I though kind of renders the whole thing moot. It was also said that there would a trilogy of films for Merlin fans, but that's highly unlikely.

I'd say that one film, let alone a film trilogy, is highly unlikely.

Short of a reboot - which I can't see being managed well - they really have nowhere to go, unless the plan is to set it in modern times or the near future and have Arthur return but the problem with that would be that, as they have established that he is only coming back when Albion's need is greatest (assuming that Kilgharrah wasn't lying his scaly backside off when he said that) they would spend most of a movie building up the disaster and backstory, which wouldn't leave much time for the main plot.
