But we were told that it would be "set overseas in 1972".
"The rise in hospital births, and changes in the NHS, have clipped their wings, and this is their chance to take flight and work out what really matters.
And speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press following a screening of the upcoming 15th season, which will arrive in the New Year, Thomas shed some more light on what the movie could look like.
"But there are a number of places in Australia where that could be, all of which will be very different. So we're not making any official announcements until we know exactly where, and there are a couple of other options on the table as well."
"That was a new skill we all learned," she laughed.

Helen George, who has played midwife-turned-manager Trixie Aylward from the very first episode, went on to say that it would be fascinating to "have the space and the time... to explore the characters in a completely different landscape".
"When we did the South African Christmas special, it was so cinematic because you get those lovely landscapes and the sunsets, which are so different from here. And the lighting is incredibly different, so you get that golden glow," continued George. "And I'm sure the same would be the case in Australia, it's so beautiful.
"So it makes complete sense for them to branch out into the world."
More details on that are likely to arrive in the spring, according to Thomas – which George was equally as thrilled about.
"And when we first started with our sets, we'd have the remnants of buildings that have been bombed in the Blitz, so that was a real undertone for the first few series, really, before things started changing in the East End. So it's fascinating to go even further, and I will definitely be watching. I'm really excited about that. I think its very clever."
"I think for all of us, it's really exciting that there's still a life in this after so many years," added George. "The fact that the British public still watch the show and want us around is amazing.
"And it's right to change the format in some description as well, because we all need a new lease of life. Expanding the Nonnatus world and the Call the Midwife world with is right, to give it growth, and for our characters."
