Disney doing new live action Mary Poppins musical film — Page 4

I'm all for Emily Blunt in the role! And they will write and tailor songs for her. I'm glad they're going back to the books for more stories. I hope that have that crazy lady who breaks her fingers off and feeds them like candy to the kids. Then they grow back.

Let's get Imelda Staunton in as one of the housekeepers please! :)

I thought MARY POPPINS was already a LIVE ACTION movie when it opened in 1964?...no?...:)

LH, I don't doubt that you may be totally correct. I'm pro EB in the role, so I hope you are. But what I will say is, and I don't know your source, if it's a locked decision for EB, some of Amy Adams' camp have reason to think otherwise. That's all I know. They could be wrong, of course. And perhaps they're attempting to change minds; I can't speculate on that. I'm sure your source gives you confidence that you're correct-- my source doesn't indicate that Amy Adams is attached, but rather is in discussions and did a very recent screen test. This doesn't discount that you may be correct, but it's at the very least interesting that there's another layer at work. And who knows, maybe she's going in for Mrs. Banks. Or maybe she's going in for Mary Poppins but they're secretly going to offer her Mrs. Banks lol, and I'm not getting this from her directly, as she and I don't know one another. But my source is a closely related party to this, C team let's call them. Anyway, that's all I know. I don't doubt you may know more.

I received this weird message from Liza's Headband.

"I work for Disney. I'm not sure who your "sources" are but I can confirm 100% that Emily is attached to this project. All of this nonsense about Amy and Anne are unsubstantiated rumors."

Are you a delusional Emily Blunt stan? Maybe you are her husband. If you work for Disney, you would not be sending PMs to other members informing them your workplace. It's obvious you are a troll.

I can tell you Mary Poppins has not been cast yet. If you do not believe this, you can go back ask Bob Iger.

I prefer EB because she does look a little like Julie Andrews and she could possibly pull off older Mary Poppins.

But, why not Victoria Summers: the woman who played Julie Andrews in Saving Mr. Banks?

Preach.

Probably because her uncredited, essentially background work is hardly enough to qualify her to carry a movie of this size?
