Downton Abbey (2019), Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern
To everyone who thought they’d seen the last of Downton Abbey’s Crawley family and their servants , the hit TV show is back in feature length movie form.
Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) may be more than long gone, but director Michael Engler promises there’s still more story worth telling…
Having not seen the last Downton season, after watching this trailer I’m mostly curious about who has been cast to play the visiting royals, King George the Fifth and his wife Queen Elizabeth.
Directed by Michael Engler, the time has come for the Downton Abbey movie teaser trailer. It doesn’t show much but it does confirm that the key cast of the television series are among the stars.
A cast that includes Dame Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, Hugh Hugh Bonneville, Joanne Froggatt, and Elizabeth McGovern – to name just a few…
I actually have no idea how Downton Abbey the television series ended because I stopped watching before it was all concluded. I am however a little bit curious about this new feature film version. I want to know how well the series will translate to the big screen.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015), Diana Hardcastle, Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup
In the first movie, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, retired brits take residence at a hotel in India, one they thought would be quite luxurious but soon enough, they realise just how far out of reach luxury really is at the The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Still, they decide to stick around and that’s when the fun begins.
Most of your favourite characters played by Bill Nighy, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Celia Imrie return in director John Madden’s sequel to the 2011 hit.
The sequel centres around young Sonny’s (Dev Patel) dream of acquiring a second hotel. As was the case in the original film, it’s the characters played by the older cast members that are the most entertaining. Particularly Muriel, portrayed by celebrated British actress, Maggie Smith.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015), Maggie Smith, Dev Patel
Dev Patel’s young and enthusiastic Sonny might get a tad grating at times, but overall, like the original, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a touching and fun 2 hours. It also happens to be a great reminder of what getting older can and probably should be like.
Though I prefer the original film, this sequel is fun. Richard Gere and Tamsin Greig play two mysterious characters and of course, Maggie Smith remains in true scene stealing form. My favourite moment being the ‘incident with the tea’ at the very beginning.
