    I’m not sure. Part of me wants it left alone. Such a classic, and Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, I just don’t know how their greatness could ever be approached, especially Julie Andrews. I just don’t know. I’m going to have to give this some thoughtful consideration.

    I am actually super excited about this!!!!! I understand your reservations @nascfan! I really do! Mary Poppins is such a classic to us and beyond perfect, just how it was. But I’m really excited to see the next chapter in this story! It’s either going to be super awesome or sadly disappointing. But I’m rooting for super awesome!! It will be a new story line, so at least they aren’t just remaking the original.

    Ah, so it’s not a remake, but after the Banks’? That is a new wrinkle. Still, not Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. I’ll mull it over. I hope it’s awesome too, I really do, and I’m not going to rule it out or condemn it, I just struggle right now.

    There’s actually several books in the Mary Poppins series. So I believe this is the next one. I haven’t read them but really should! But that my understanding of it.

    Yeah. Van Dyke will return, but still…it’s not Julie. :sideeye:

    I think Emily Blunt is perfect casting for Mary Poppins, but like @Nascfan, I’m not sure how I feel about this.

    Good to have Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins,I also heard that Disney Legend Angela Lansbury is in it as well.

    I suppose it’s like any much loved character or movie you are bound to feel nervous especially considering the history of the original. Emily Blunt seems a good replacement and hope she puts her own ‘stamp’ on the Mary Poppins rather than just a ‘copy’ if that makes sense.

    I’m with you here. I see no need to mess with perfection. I’d rather see movies that COULD have been great but missed the mark re done.

    Oh! I should have read on. I thought it was a remake.

    Im trying to keep an open mind. When I saw Emma Watson cast as Belle, I was worried, and it turned out I was correct. Not sure about Emily Blunt. If Poppins is still supposed to be youthful, then I can see that casting. if this is supposed to be many years later, I would rather have Emma Thompson.
