More than fifty years have passed since the classic movie, "Mary Poppins", which starred Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke had graced the big screen. Now, Disney has just announced to the public that the classic remake has just started its production.
This takes place in the Shepperton Studios in the U.K. Just last summer, the main stars of the film were publicized. But now, we luckily have the official synopsis and full cast list of "Mary Poppins Returns."
This will surely be more than enough to keep everyone going through the waiting period. "Mary Poppins Returns" is set in the 1930s, during the time when London was impoverished due to the First World War. The movie will star Emily Blunt as the cheerful Mary Poppin who makes a comeback in the lives of the Banks family.
Meanwhile, Jack, the happy-go-lucky street lamplighter, will be played by Lin-Manuel Miranda. According to Silver Screen Beat, Rob Marshall is the director of the upcoming movie.
However, to fully revive the feel of the original Mary Poppins movie, Disney ensured that its soundtrack will be of the same caliber. Marc Shaiman, together with Scott Wittman, who are Oscar and Emmy nominees respectively, will be the ones in charge in writing the songs.
Ben Wishaw, Julie Walter, Emily Mortimer and Meryl Streep are all going to be featured in the upcoming movie. According to Movie Web, three new Banks children will also be introduced. These will be played by Nathanael Saleh, Pixie Davies, and Joel Dawson.
Surprisingly, the 91-year-old, Dick Van Dyke will also have his own role, as he will play Mr. Dawes Jr. "Mary Poppins Returns" will hit theaters on December 25, 2018. Let's just hope that everything will flow smoothly and that it will relieve the light-hearted story of the original movie. "Mary Poppins Returns" would surely be a big hit for viewers of all ages, young or old.
