Downton Abbey: A New Era is almost in theaters in the United States, and the latest trailer for the upcoming film promises drama, fantasy, and a vacation to the South of France.

The Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) has inherited a villa in France, a fact which stuns her family. "You never thought to turn it down?" Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) asks.

"Do I look as if I'd turn down a villa in the South of France?" the Dowager retorts, proving once again that she is, in fact, the best.
