CinemaCon Just Got To See the ‘Downton Abbey’ Trailer and We Need It

CinemaCon is happening as we speak in Las Vegas, and during the Universal Pictures presentation, the crowd was treated to the first full-length trailer for the upcoming Focus Features Downton Abbey film.

While trailers from the event usually aren’t released, or at the very least aren’t publicly released until well after the event, a simple perusal of Twitter will glean us some information about what was shown.

Namely- a ROYAL VISIT TO DOWNTON!

You can read some of the reactions via Twitter below, and THR’s writeup here.

#DowntonAbbey trailer looks like it checks all the blocks for fans of the show. I’ve never seen a frame of it, so I’m the worst person to tell you if it looks up to snuff or not, but my girlfriend was clapping and cheering and possibly crying, so take that FWIW. #CinemaCon

So we finally know what the Downton Abbey movie is about…it’s about the King and Queen of England coming to visit Downton. Mary asks Carson to come back and help. Fans will freak out with all the little winks and nods in the trailer. I know I did. #CinemaCon
