Into the Woods and Chicago director Rob Marshall will direct the live-action remake of the beloved Disney 1964 movie, which starred Julie Andrews as the flying, magical nanny. Entertainment Weekly broke the news Monday and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it, while Disney reps had no on-the-record comment.
The new Poppins film will take place about 20 years after the original and will draw from existing tales from author P.L. Travers' book series. So expect more adventures with the Banks family, according to EW.
The report states that songwriting duo of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman will compose original songs and a new score. David Magee will write the screenplay.
...
The EW report states that Disney and Marshall are collaborating with the Travers estate and have already won support from Poppins co-composer Richard Sherman who wrote classic songs from the original with his late brother Robert.

Re: [Film] Mary Poppins II
The most exciting sequel since Bambi met Godzilla.
It's a shame Disney is playing it safe (whoulda thunk it?) when they could have gone off in any number of interesting directions.
Mary Poppins II: Pop Harder
Son of Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins II: The Chimney Strikes Back
Mary Poppins II:Who's Minding The Children?
and of course
Abbot and Costello Meet The Killer, Mary Poppins

I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Come on, now, Disney. This is just sad 
Next thing you know, they'll be making a sequel to the Sound of Music.

Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Re: [Film] Mary Poppins II
It looks more Poppins-y than I expected, 2D animation and all. The trailer shows very little of Lin-Manuel Miranda, which probably means that his accent is as atrocious as Dick Van Dyke's in the original. Speaking of Dick Van Dyke, he's in it!

I understand this one will have more closure to it...at the end, she takes off into restricted airspace and is taken out by a SAM.

Re: [Film] Mary Poppins II
MARY POPPINS was one of my favorite movies as a kid. So much so that my mom loathes it to this very day.
I'm really excited for it after seeing the trailer. I'm not the world's biggest Emily Blunt fan, but if you think about it, Mary Poppins *was* a bit of a stone cold bitch so it fits. Sure she used magic and songs, etc. but she didn't take any shit from those kids.

I didn't realize there was a question over who would want to see this.

Re: [Film] Mary Poppins II
I didn't even know Mary Poppins II was a thing until yesterday.
I loved all the old Disney classics (including the original Mary Poppins), but can't for the life of me understand this push to remake them, especially those that are changing the animation to live action. That entire strategy is lost on me, but maybe I'm just an outlier in that regard.

I didn't see the most recent, but Ever After with Drew Barrymore was fantastic.

Re: [Film] Mary Poppins II
I remember the first time I saw Mary Poppins.
I was four years old and my parents were divorced. My Mom was taking me to see it and we had lunch at Denny's first. It was a big day out. As we were sitting waiting for our food I noticed my Mom's boyfriend, coincidentally his name was Denny, sitting at another booth. He didn't see us but I saw he was sitting with someone in his booth.
"Mom", I asked..."Why is Denny over there holding hands with that lady?"
Yep, good ol' motorcycle cop Denny was there at Denny's cheating on my Mom.
My Mom marched over there, caused a small scene and we left. She was crying the whole way to the car and continued as we drove away. I noticed we were heading home and not to the movie theater. The poor women just wanted to get out of the public eye and deal with what had just happened. She left my Dad for this guy. Now it was MY turn to cause a scene.
I forced her to still take me to the movie. My memories of "Chim Chim Cher-ee" also include the sounds of my Mother sobbing next to me through the entire movie.
