The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Downton Abbey is a 2019 historical drama film directed by Michael Engler from a screenplay by Julian Fellowes, based on the television series of the same name created by Fellowes. The film continues the storyline from the series, with much of the original cast returning. Set in 1927, the film depicts a royal visit to the Crawley family's stately home in Yorkshire. As royal staff members descend on Downton, an assassin has also arrived and attempts to kill the monarch. Downton Abbey premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 9 September 2019, and was released to a wide release on 13 September in the United Kingdom, and 20 September in the United States by Focus Features. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $194.7 million worldwide. Two sequels have been produced: Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) and Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
