MARY POPPINS RETURNS: THE STORY
Drawn from a wealth of material from PL Travers’ seven additional books, The Mary Poppins Stories, the film is set in London during the 1930s depression-era. In this story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) have grown up, and it’s now Michael and his three children played by Nathanael Saleh, Pixie Davies, and newcomer Joel Dawson as well as their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living in the house on Cherry Tree Lane.
Sadly Michael suffers a personal loss, and it’s then that his former nanny, Mary Poppins (Blunt), re-enters the lives of the Banks family. Mary Poppins introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including an optimistic street lamplighter named Jack (Miranda) and her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep). She also uses her magical skills to help the Banks’ family rediscover the wonder and joy that’s been missing from their lives.
The film is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca and Marc Platt with the screenplay by David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers (Mary Poppins Comes Back, Mary Poppins Opens the Door, Mary Poppins in the Park, Mary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane / Mary Poppins and the House Next Door). All new songs are being written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman along with a new original score by Shaiman.
I can’t wait for the come back! Will be watching this as soon as it gets out of the screen, haha.
I honestly cannot wait for this movie! The first one was a huge part of my childhood and I made sure to show it to the kids as well. I like Emily Blunt and I’m sure she’ll be great!
I heard Emily Blunt was going to be the next Mary Poppins. I think she’s such a good choice!
Ahhhhh! I can’t believe they’re redoing this!! I am so excited!
I literally had no clue they were redoing this movie. I used to live to see that movie.
A sequel to the timeless classic will be worth seeing. I love that they included Dick Van Dyke and also Meryl Streep. I want my kids to see the original and then see this after.
Seeing that this movie was coming back brought so many amazing childhood memories to me! I cant wait to see this with Emily Blunt because she’s awesome!
Emily Blunt is absolutely the best person to do the Mary Poppins update. I love her and her accent. She was perfection in The Devil Wears Prada.
I never really enjoyed Mary Poppins until I got older and had kids. Now its one of my absolute favourites. I am really looking forward to this!
I am so excited for this! I love that she’s coming back and I’m sure my kids will love her too! 😀
I just watched the original with my girls last summer. We are so excited that there will be a new one to look forward to. I think Emily Blunt will make for a fantastic Mary Poppins!
It will be nice seeing the classic character back again. My daughter always loved watching the original with me.
This will be a great way to introduce a Disney classic to a new generation. I loved the original Mary Poppins.
This looks so good. I am interested to see the modern take on this classic story.
I love Mary Poppins, and of course, I’m looking forward to seeing Emily Blunt as her. But what I’m really intrigued by is the fact that this is a true sequel.
This is going to be so great! I remember how magical Marry Poppins was for me when I was a kid. I can’t wait for this sequel.
I’m so excited, I can’t even! I loved the first movie, and Emily Blunt is one of my favorite actresses. I can’t wait!
I have always loved Mary Poppins! I even have my Mary Poppins travel bag. I’m so happy she’s coming back and new generations can fall in love with her.
I am super excited for this. It is going to be an awesome movie.
