Could the spoof film<\/a> be making a comeback? Whether it\u2019s due to Hollywood studios losing interest in comedies<\/a> or short form content filling the niche, movies that exist to lampoon other movies and TV shows have been a dying breed in recent years. But Akiva Schaffer\u2019s Liam Neeson-led reboot of \u201cThe Naked Gun\u201d<\/a> became one of the breakout hits of the summer, suggesting that there\u2019s still a large audience for a great parody. <\/p>\n

Perhaps that momentum will extend to \u201cFackham Hall<\/a>,\u201d a new comedy from director Jim O\u2019Hanlon that seeks to lampoon British period pieces like \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d with the same irreverence that \u201cThe Naked Gun\u201d applied to police procedurals and crime dramas. Set in the English countryside, the film<\/a> uses the classic plot of a lower class criminal working his way up through the hierarchy in order to extract laughs from an ensemble of eccentric aristocrats. <\/p>\n

An official synopsis for the film reads: \u201cA spoof that crosses \u2018Downton Abbey\u2019 with \u2018Airplane!\u2019 and \u2018Monty Python,\u2019 Fackham Hall follows lovable pick-pocket Eric Noone as he lands a job at a unique English manor house. He quickly rises through the ranks, and a forbidden romance with lady-of-the-house Rose Davenport blossoms. But when an unexpected murder occurs, Eric gets framed leaving Rose and her family\u2019s future perilously uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFackham Hall\u201d stars Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe, Katherine Waterston, Emma Laird, Tom Goodman-Hill, Ramon Tikaram, Tim McMullan, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sue Johnston, Tom Felton, and Damian Lewis. The script was co-written by Steve Dawson, Andrew Dawson, Tim Imman,
Jimmy Carr, and Patrick Carr, with Danny Perkins, Kris Thykier, and Mila Cottray serving as producers.<\/p>\n

The comedy could prove to be a perfect palate cleanser for \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d fans who aren\u2019t quite ready to say goodbye to the residents of their favorite British manor. The Julian Fellowes-created series officially bid fans farewell with the September release of \u201cDownton Abbey: The Grand Finale,\u201d which marked the end of a story that spanned six TV seasons and three feature films.<\/p>\n

A Bleecker Street release, \u201cFackham Hall\u201d opens in theaters on Friday, December 5.
