Okay, that would be a REALLY long movie. Think of it this way: a regular episode contains an average of 3 chapters and is about 20 minutes long. The average Bleach movie is 90 minutes long. That would mean they would only be able to cover the first 15 or so chapters in the manga if they were going for a normal length, and if they weren't, it'd be on par with the length of Shoah. An animated adaptation is MUCH more likely.
