Aaron Eckhart, Diane Lane claim to be Russian royalty in 'Romanoffs' teaser

Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Amazon's second teaser for its contemporary dramedy The Romanoffs shows numerous characters claiming to be descendants of Russia's murdered Czar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra.

Appearing in Tuesday's 80-second preview are Aaron Eckhart, Diane Lane, Isabelle Huppert, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jack Huston, Kathryn Hahn, Noah Wyle, Paul Reiser and Andrew Rannells.

Amanda Peet's character, who is seen drinking beer and talking on the phone, gives a little insight into what will bring everyone together.

"You know that Romanoff book that our friend Daniel wrote? The one that Eric consulted on? We're making it into a miniseries?" she says.

The show was created by Mad Men mastermind Matthew Weiner.
