Spock 20,290 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 What’s old is new yet again at the Walt Disney Company. The film unit has been busy with reboots of classic characters, and now comes word of a 21st century Mary Poppins. The company is adding a spoonful of sugar to a new live-action musical from Into The Woods director Rob Marshall, set two decades after the classic Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke that won five Oscars. The new Mary Poppins will mine P.L. Travers’ half-century-plus worth of books about the magical English nanny. Tunesmiths Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are set to whip up original songs for the pic, complementing David Magee’s screenplay. http://deadline.com/2015/09/new-mary-poppins-disney-rob-marshall-1201526563/ It certainly is an amazing team, but is nothing sacred anymore? who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's not actually a remake, it's a sequel. Mary Poppins is part of a series of books. Mary Travers, the author, never let them make another movie based on the books in her lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJH219 4,448 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 On a Walt Disney World forum I follow, someone (not me) suggested they cast Lady Gaga in the role of Mary. A member responded with "I think I'm gonna puke" and yet another member (also not me) clocked the fool by saying and I quote: "Missed her Sound of Music performance? She's actually the only singer I can think of who can come close to Andrews' vocal range. It's doubtful she'd be cast but it wouldn't be unwarranted. She just did a tour with Tony Bennett, America's musical grandpa. She's hardly making anyone clutch their pearls nowadays. Like I said, unlikely but not unwarranted. Unless they find some magical unknown, no one is going to have the "feel" of Julie Andrews."

Nicole 1,809 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I used to always cringe at Disney movies getting re-made, but at the end of the day there's really nothing wrong with it lol. My nephews still watch original movies, but some might prefer newer ones.I'd love Emily Blunt to play Mary Poppins tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 16,949 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Let's face it, Mary Poppins is kinda forgotten, which is a shame because the books are really good I loved reading them back in the day. It's good that they remake this and remind people of how great she is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miker 5,683 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You can remake this movie but you can't replace the magic it has given the viewers over many years. Mars..........or bust! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 103,712 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I will hold my opinion until the castings are announced.But really though, Disney's really need to do anothertraditional hand drawn animation rather than remaking classicsor making it into live actions.
