New Mary Poppins Returns Trailer – The magical nanny is back in the form of Emily Blunt

24th September 2018 By Tim Isaac

It’s fair to day there are still plenty of people who are unsure whether Disney should be making a belated sequel to one of the true classics of family cinema, Mary Poppins. However, a new trailer has arrived to try and convince us it’ll be worth having the magical nanny back, in the form of Emily Blunt this time – and it has to be said, it does a good job.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Mary Poppins Returns” stars: Emily Blunt as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure; Lin-Manuel Miranda as her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London; Ben Whishaw as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks; and Julie Walters as the Banks’ housekeeper Ellen; with Colin Firth as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank’s William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep as Mary’s eccentric cousin, Topsy. The film also introduces three new Banks’ children played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth’s character.

‘The film is directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay by David Magee and screen story by Magee & Marshall & John DeLuca based upon The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers. The producers are Marshall, DeLuca and Marc Platt with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer and the music is by Marc Shaiman with songs by Shaiman and Scott Wittman.’

Take a look at the teaser trailer and poster below. The film will be in cinemas in December. [Read more…]

Mary Poppins Returns Trailer – The magical nanny is back in the form of Emily Blunt

5th March 2018 By Tim Isaac

It’s fair to day there are still plenty of people who are unsure whether Disney should be making a belated sequel to one of the true classics of family cinema, Mary Poppins.

Mary Poppins Returns (In The Form Of Emily Blunt) In Some New Pics From The Sequel

7th June 2017 By Tim Isaac

There are as many people who seem to be excited about a new Mary Poppins movie as there are people who think the whole thing is sacrilege. Indeed, it’s probably the movie in Disney’s new age of new takes on their classics that’s caused the most comment.

A new set of pics from the movie have now arrived, via EW, which suggest that Rob Marshall’s new Poppins will be both the same and different to the legendary 1964 movie. And part of that difference is that the setting has jumped forawrd a few decades.

EW also has the best description yet of what the movie is going to be about, saying, ‘Mary Poppins Returns, directed by Rob Marshall (Into the Woods), picks up 25 years after the events of the first film, fast-forwarding to London’s mid-1930s economic slump, the actual time period of Travers’ books. Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane has become the warm, loving home that banker and artist Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) shares with his wife and three children. But after the sudden death of Michael’s wife, the Banks family is shattered — even enthusiastic aunt Jane (Emily Mortimer), now a fervent union organizer, and long-time housemaid Ellen (Julie Walters) can’t help lift spirits — and so in time, the once-blossoming home is on the verge of foreclosure.

Cue the arrival of prim and peculiar Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt), who leads Michael’s wayward children (and Jane and Michael themselves) on a series of unbelievable adventures — to the top of Big Ben, the bottom of the ocean, into magical encounters with animated dancing penguins and upside-down cousins (hey, Meryl Streep!). If anyone can help this family find the light they’ve lost, it’s Mary Poppins.’

Mary Poppins Returns will once more be a musical, with new tunes from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical). It’ll be in cinemas in December 2018.

Take a look at the new pics below. [Read more…]

First Look At Emily Blunt Turning Practically Perfect Nanny In Mary Poppins Returns

4th March 2017 By Tim Isaac

As well as all sorts of live-action reimaginings of its animated classics as live-action movies, Disney is also in the process of bringing one of its greatest live-action films back to the big screen with a sequel to Mary Poppins. That follow-up, Mary Poppins Returns, is now filming, and the first image of Emily Blunt taking on the role made famous by Julie Andrews has been released.

Although we’re only looking at her from the back, she does seem a good fit for the practically perfect nanny.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, “Mary Poppins Returns” also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep. The film, which introduces three new Banks children, played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson, also features Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep). The film is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca and Marc Platt. The screenplay is by David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman writing all new songs and Shaiman composing an original score.

‘“Mary Poppins Returns” will be released in the UK on December 2018.’

Dick Van Dyke Confirms He’ll Be In Mary Poppins Returns

21st December 2016 By Tim Isaac

There will be plenty of new faces entering the world of Mary Poppins for Disney’s planned sequel, Mary Poppins Returns. However, one familiar face has confirmed he’ll appear in the movie.

Dick Van Dyke, who famous played Poppins’ chimney sweep friend Bert in the 1964 classic, has said he’ll be back, although it doesn’t appear he’ll be playing that character again. Instead he’s suggested he’ll play the son of the banker, which is fitting, because as well as Bert, Van Dyke also played the ancient banker Mr. Dawes Senior in the earlier movie.

He told ET, “This one supposedly takes place 20 years later and the kids are all grown up. It’s a great cast – Meryl Streep, Angela Lansbury and that guy from Hamilton [Lin-Manuel Miranda]… I’ll be going to London in the spring to do my role and I get to do a little song-and-dance number. I gotta be a part of it.”

It’s certainly impressive that at 91 he’s still acting and ready to do a bit of dancing. However, it’s perhaps not too surprising, as he’s said that he never wants to stop working, as it’s what helps keep him active, happy and helping.

The follow-up will be set in the 1930s and follow Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane Banks (Emily Mortimer), as well as their children, after a major event takes place in their lives. That event results in the return of the magical Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt), who teams up with Jack (Lin Manuel Miranda) to help the family. Meryl Streep will also star as Poppins’ cousin Topsy, while Coling Firth will be William Weatherall Wilkins, president of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Smash) will write the songs, with David Magee penning the script, based on PL Travers other Poppins stories. Rob Marshall is set to direct, with a December 2018 release date set.
