Hilarious Trailer for DOWNTON ABBEY Spoof Movie FACKHAM HALL
Bleecker Street has released the first official trailer for their comedy Fackham Hall, a spoof clearly based on the popular BBC series Downton Abbey.
The cast is solid, and it includes Ben Radcliffe, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, Emma Laird, Tom Felton, Lizzie Hopley, Jimmy Carr, Sue Johnston, Tom Goodman-Hill, and Damian Lewis. The film is directed by Jim O’Hanlon (All in the Game, Of Two Minds, 100 Streets, Trying), from a screenplay written by Jimmy Carr, Patrick Carr, Andrew Dawson, Steve Dawson, and Tim Inman.
The synopsis reads: "Born to aristocracy. Bred for idiocy." A lovable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) moves into the English manor house of Fackham Hall. He has a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport (McKenzie) and then is framed for a murder, while Archibald becomes Eric's rival and vies for Rose's hand in marriage.
“At the same time, rivalries are spilling over in the Davenport family, led by Lord & Lady Davenport (Waterston), as they also weather the failure of the wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin.
This looks hilarious! I love this type of humor, it’s just ridiculous, and I think it will be a lot of fun to watch. Check out the trailer below, and watch Fackham Hall in theaters on December 5th.
