This Tuesday, April 19 took place the preview of the second part of the saga Downton Abbey, titled A New Era. Before coming to the big screen, the franchise which is interested in the universe of the British aristocracy had made a name for itself as a series on television between 2010 and 2016. The first feature film was released in 2019.
The evening took place at the Gaumont Champs-Elysées Marignan cinema on Tuesday. The opportunity to see the stars of the cast: Jonathan Zaccaï, Elizabeth McGovern and Laura Carmichael appeared on stage, as did Nathalie Baye who as the French of the band could not miss this Parisian meeting. Simon Curtis, the director, had also made the trip. Nathalie Baye, luminous at 73, appeared on the photocall alongside her partners in a long leopard-print jacket that came to her knees. The Belgian actor Jonathan Zaccaï had opted for a sober blue blazer jacket over jeans, while his colleagues Elisabeth McGovern and Laura Carmichael presented themselves with sublime long sleeveless dresses. Elisabeth’s was beige while Laura was black (see slideshow).
Nathalie Baye who joins the cast of the saga for this new part will play the role of a former friend of Violet Crawley played by Maggie Smith. The plot of this second feature film revolves around the wedding of Tom Branson and his fiancée Lucy at Downton Abbey, then the surprise arrival of a Hollywood director who wants to transform the family home into a movie set. Finally, Violet Crawley, who inherited a villa in the south of France, will be confronted with her mysterious past and forced to reveal her secrets on the Riviera…
