Lionsgate is releasing a brand new comedy, “Lady of The Manor,” which stars Melanie Lynskey (“Heavenly Creatures,” “Castle Rock“), Judy Greer (“Halloween“), Justin Long (“Tusk,” “Drag Me To Hell“), Ryan Phillippe (“MacGruber,” “The Way of The Gun“), and Luis Guzmán (“Boogie Nights,” “Out of Sight“).

The studio has dropped a first-look trailer for the film, and you can check it out below.
Lynskey plays Hannah, an in-character tour guide at the Wadsworth Manor, who doesn’t seem able to handle any facet of her life successfully. When the spectatorial version of Lady Wadsworth (Greer) sees what a piss-poor job Hannah is doing portraying her, she decides to put it upon herself to help Hannah get her life straightened up.
Judging by the film’s trailer, they’re seemingly aiming towards being in the realm of a raunchy Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg comedy than anything else.
Justin Long and Christian Long both co-wrote and helm “Lady of The Manor.”
Here is the official synopsis from Lionsgate:
“Past and present collide in this supernaturally funny buddy comedy when stoner-slacker Hannah (Melanie Lynskey) is hired to portray Lady Wadsworth (Judy Greer), a Southern belle who died in 1875, in a tour at Wadsworth Manor. Hannah, a hot mess, figures she can fake it —until the ghost of Lady Wadsworth appears! Lady Wadsworth tells Hannah it’s time to change her wild ways — and she’ll haunt her until she does — in this hilarious movie co-starring Justin Long and Ryan Phillippe.”
