Downton Abbey Movie Posters, Fall 2019 release!

At least that is the takeaway from four new character posters, which show Mary (Michelle Dockery), newly lucky-in-love Edith (Laura Carmichael), Andy (Michael C. Fox), and Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) making a few final touch-ups before greeting guests.

The cast is rounded out by Hugh Bonneville, Brendan Coyle, Kevin Doyle, Joanne Froggatt, Matthew Goode, Harry Hadden-Paton, David Haig, Geraldine James, Simon Jones, Phyllis Logan, Elizabeth McGovern, Sophie McShera, Tuppence Middleton, Stephen Campbell Moore, Lesley Nicol, Kate Phillips, Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton, and Penelope Wilton.

I loved this show when it was airing. It was just so addicting. I think I lasted 5-6 seasons before I fizzled out. Knowing there is a movie coming out makes me want to finish the series? Is it worth it? How did everyone feel about the show? I'm like weirdly stoked for this and hope it's good.

I know my parents will go see this day one.

Dice · Mar 27, 2019

I dont think I can ever get over the show for how it ended things with Matthew Crawley

dying in a old timey-wimey car accident driving 25 mph probably, while Mary is pregnant... come the fuck on, sooooo laaaame

and generally getting me to weirdly not give a damn about Bates's murder mystery arc. Did he do it? Didn't he? MAYBE. But maybe not. (x8 episodes). How else can we make shit tragic for the Bates to use his and Anna's sad theme song.

.... But I am in for Maggie Smith.

PS: RIP Isis, the most unfortunately named dog to be in a show in 2014. I always loved seeing your fuzzy butt in every opening shot. Good dog.

Stinkles · Mar 27, 2019

I do hope they stop their garish focus on the Help.

That storyline was a real dud. It was a real struggle to sit through those prison scenes.

Delightful. Knows her place. Painted like a tuppenny strumpet, however.

The dog passed away? Aww.

Also, them olde timey cars were dangerous as shit.

Please end with Mary dying.

Edith is the shame of the family. Where is Sybil

Oblivious Rich People, the show

I could never see past the class dynamics of it all.

Deleted member 9135 · Mar 28, 2019

I am so fucking stoked for this. One of my favorite written tv series ever

FaceHugger · Mar 28, 2019

Probably the best orchestrated opening theme music ever, and Michelle Dockery deserves all the rewards for those first two seasons.

I actually stopped watching just after Crawley left the show. What a lame way to go.

daft_cat · Mar 28, 2019

Weird, I always thought Downton Abbey was a spin off of Gosford Park. Apparently it was just inspired by it - different characters, etc.

It's an excellent film. The last great work by the legendary director Robert Altman and similar in feel. If any fans of Downton haven't seen it, it'll definitely hold you over until this.

There were only 6 total, so you may as well finish it. I was into it for a bit. I'll definitely see the movie.

Let Thomas be gay, happy, and in love, you heartless ghouls.

Also, don't you dare fuck up Edith's marriage.

Dany · Mar 28, 2019

Who the fuck did edith marry? Some shmump with no money or means. Classic middle child

Stiler · Mar 28, 2019

Maybe they can fix Mary's ending. It would have been so much more fitting if Tom and her ended up together after they both had lost their first loves and they grew together throughout the last seasons of the show.

Introducing this new guy at the end and then having her literally just fall over herself for him and rush to marry him felt so forced and they had no chemistry.

She like married a duke or something like that.

I'm waiting for Upstairs, Up Additional Stairs.

If anyone is looking for a Downton fix in the meantime, The Passing Bells is very entertaining. It was a clear inspiration (to put it mildly), and spends blessedly little time on the cretinous help.

Series 1 was brilliant. Series 2 was drivel. Series 3 was awkward. Series 4 was diabolical. Series 5 was unwatchable. Series 6 was.... was there a series 6???

It made series 2 retroactively better cause of how bad it was.

yes, that's true! I still watch Series 1~3 because they developed the characters fairly well, overall.

Also, some of the comedic writing is excellent in Series 2.

Where is the plastic water bottle?

TFGB · Mar 28, 2019

Never got into the series much but I've visited Highclere Castle a couple of times.

Aired it in an episode on Christmas Day too 🤣

hateradio · Mar 28, 2019

I never understood why this was even a thing.

I liked part of it, but then it just felt like nonsense when it focused on Master Bates and his lowly bride. Hated those two.

Falchion · Mar 28, 2019

Royalty junkies everywhere are rejoicing.

gutshot · Mar 28, 2019

A movie seems unnecessary, but I'll probably watch it. Glad to hear Carson will be in it, he was the best.

sooperkool · Mar 28, 2019

I could watch 2 solid hours of Old Lady Grantham just commenting on people and things.

WedgeX · Mar 28, 2019

No Dan Stevens no sale.

Is the full cast returning?

Deleted member 32822 · Mar 28, 2019

So this movie is a reboot of the show, but with the same cast playing the same roles? Downton Evangelion?

I mean it's just a continuation, like Serenity is to Firefly.

Basically, yes.

I miss Sybil. :(
