Disney to remake Mary Poppins movie
Disney has plans to re-make the original Mary Poppins movie, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The original movie was based on one book from the series by P.L Travers, and the new movie will take its content from the rest of the collection, set 20 years after the first movie.
The re-make will feature Mary and the Banks Family, but is, according to Disney, not a sequel.
The movie will be directed by Rob Marshall, who directed Chicago and Into the Woods and will also feature the songwriters behind Smash and Hairspray and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.
It is unlikely Julie Andrews will reprise her role 51 years later, especially given her inability to sing as she once did as a result of a surgery gone wrong.
