Watch The First Trailer For The 'Absolutely Fabulous' Movie

By Ned Ehrbar

(CBS NEWS/AP) – Sweetie, darling, you have to see this. The very first full trailer for the much-anticipated "Absolutely Fabulous" movie is here, and it's killer. Or, at least, it's fatal.

The film brings back the key characters from the hit 1990s BBC sitcom about two booze-addled, fashion-obsessed socialites and their utter lack of basic human decency. And as the trailer shows, the intervening years have not included much personal growth.

"Edina and Patsy (Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley) are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to: shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hotspots," the synopsis reads. "Blamed for a major incident at an uber-fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more."

As the trailer reveals, that major incident involves no less than accidentally killing supermodel Kate Moss. But Moss isn't the only major name making an appearance. While the full list of famous faces in the cameo-heavy movie hasn't been revealed, the trailer teases the likes of Stella McCartney, Jon Hamm, "Game of Thrones" star Gwendoline Christie, Suki Waterhouse and Joan Collins. Not too shabby.
