‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’ Trailer Ushers In 1930 & Tells Us It’s Time To Say Goodbye – CinemaCon
deadline.comFocus Features today offered CinemaCon attendees an emotional look at the first trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale.
This is the last in the trilogy of big screen continuations of the British TV drama phenomenon. It’s written by series creator Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis.
