Fans got a first look at the hotly anticipated “Downton Abbey” movie Friday with the release of the film’s first teaser trailer. “Next year, you are cordially invited to the motion picture event — only in theaters,” a tagline reads. “Downton Abbey” followed the Crawley family in England at the turn of the 20th century and ran for six seasons on PBS. Rumors of a movie version began almost immediately after the series concluded in 2015, and were finally confirmed last year with the show’s sixth-season cast, including Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael and Maggie Smith, intact. “We had to do everything that all the fans wanted, but we had to do something that was fresh and original,” Neame said in an interview published Friday.
