Mary Poppins 2
 

Looks like Disney's making a sequel to Mary Poppins. This is set some 20 years after the original movie and will be adapting the rest of the books in the series. Apparantly there's 8 books in all that were released from 1934 - 1988!

Dammit Disney not every classic movie needs a ****** cash grabbing sequel. Leave Mary Poppins alone.

Interesting, Hopefully Disney can get Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke to reprise there roles, They are still around.

I read all 8 books. Spoiler alert: Mary Poppins was really kind of a b!tch at times. Very stern. Nowhere near as sweet and bubbly as Julie Andrews.

Also, Disney, WTF.

Aren't the many remake and reboot films the problem today, not sequels?

I don't see why any of them are problems.

Considering that there are several books, I don't see a problem making a sequel. A bit late, but not a problem.

This is how I feel.

Guy. It's been way more than 20 years since that movie came out.

Yeah... have you seen those two limelight stars lately? :tlol:

It's been way more than 20 years, though. Pretty sure the original was released in 1964, making it 51 years later. A cameo, maybe...reprising their original roles, I doubt it. Also...why would they bother with a sequel now? Why not 40 years ago? Even 30 years ago would've been ok.

It's probably something to do with that other Disney movie about the making of the Mary Poppins film.

The original film is based on parts from the first two books anyhow, so it wasn't even a straight transfer to screen. But I do have to wonder... how could a new version live up to the original?

Rob Marshall says that this movie is not a remake of the original film but an "extension".

He also says it's possible that Julie Andrews could have a role in it.

I hope its darker and grittier.

yes, more along the lines of From dust till dawn.

Darker and grittier...

Mary Poppins, Vampire Hunter.

I would watch it:lol:

A bit late. Don't you think, Disney? You could have made several movies with Julie Andrews back in the day.

Emily Blunt is in talks to play Mary Poppins. I have no problem if this happens. She's a brilliant actress and singer. However, I just this film does not turn out to be a disappointment.

She could be a good Marry Poppins.

Well, I'll just wait for PL Travers to burst out of her grave and start screaming.

I am down for anything Emily Blunt does. They have instant purchases from my wife and me.

Entertainment Weekly listed their top choices for Bert.

Pick the one with the worst Cockney accent, it wouldn't seem right otherwise.

Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda is in talks to play a "lamplighter" named Jack.

I'll admit that while I'm still skeptical, my love for both Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda knows no known bounds.

Color me more than curious.

Disney has confirmed that Blunt and Miranda will star in the film.

damn
 

disney needs to give the fans what they really wanna see. Mary Poppins vs Terminator

Julie Andrew couldnt sing anymore right?

Dont worry just get other disney stars like Demi Lovato to sing rock version of her songs.
"Chim chimery chim cherooooo" *electric guitar strings*

Edit: Oh, Emily Blunt plays her then? Cool.

Disney has officially announced that the film will be titled, Mary Poppins Returns. The movie is also scheduled for release on December 25, 2018. There are lots of details about the plot and more in the article below.

I didn't realize Rob Marshall was directing this. That sucks.

Cinemas opening on Christmas Day? That's bonkers!

Can't really picture Emily Blunt as Poppins. Will Julie Andrews have any involvement?

Movie theaters have been open on Christmas Day for years, they usually release films around those times.

He did a fantastic job directing Into the Woods and the 1999 TV film, Annie.

Marshall is hoping that she can make a cameo.

Hahahaha. That was a joke about Into the Woods, right?

How many betting on if Daniel Huttlestone being in this in some way? Maybe as one of the kids?

He looks enough like the original actor of Michael Banks (who tragically died at the age of 18 ), so maybe he could be one of them.

That and his singing is pretty decent. It's not showing on his IMDB at the moment, though.

Meryl Streep has been cast as Mary's cousin, Topsy (ok I really gotta find those books)


"Drawing from the wealth of material in P.L. Travers’ seven additional novels, the story will take place in Depression-era London (when the books were originally written) and follows a now-grown Jane and Michael Banks, who, along with Michael’s three children, are visited by the enigmatic Mary Poppins following a personal loss. Through her unique magical skills, and with the aid of her friend Jack, she helps the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives."
