Dame Maggie - My Old Lady whisper

This was in the Daily Mail today:

Maggie Smith, just made a Companion of Honour by the Queen, is still at the top of her game after six decades as a star name.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2, directed by John Madden and written by Ol Parker, tested through the roof and her performance was particularly praised, as was Judi Dench’s in the first film.
Maggie is also in Israel Horovitz’s utterly charming film My Old Lady and she literally steals the picture from under the noses of her co-stars Kevin Kline and Kristin Scott Thomas — as she does on Downton Abbey.

Does anyone know anything about MY OLD LADY? When we might see an image, or a trailer?

It should be released this autumn, as far as I know.

But I must say I am particularly eager to see a picture of Maggie as Mathilde !!!

There is a pic on Variety page

A bit disappointed, as I expected something else... She looks like an older Maggie, but not 95 like the character (but not easy, as the pic, in profile, is very dark). I prefer when the character looks quite different from the actress, it is more interesting... I hope we'll see more pics soon to be able to judge properly.
