Mary Poppins Reboot? Why?
Seeing reports of a new Mary Poppins in the works from Disney. Even if it is set 20 years after the original, I have to ask why? Have the suits and the bean counters lost their ever loving minds? Is there no more creativity in Hollywood... at all?
There is only one Mary Poppins and her name is Julie Andrews. I will not pay the price to see a charlatan.
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or imbeciles who really mean it - Mark Twain

It's not a reboot, it's a sequel. I'm not over the moon about it, but I'll wait and see what happens. Trying to live up to Julie Andrews is a tall order, so I wonder who they will cast. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who I would like to see in the role.

The rumor I read said it would be Anne Hathaway. No idea if there is any truth to it. I find her a bit irritating so I hope not, but I can sort of see it.

Please tell me this isn't so! Obviously she has fans, but I'm not one of them. I want to remember Mary Poppins (aka, Julie Andrews) as is, and this would be an abomination for me.

Oh why not just stick with the pattern and have Carrie Underwood do it.
Sorry, but after seeing Saving Mr. Banks and learning more about P.L. Travers, I bet she's screaming from her grave. She didn't want the first movie done, much less a sequel.

You do realize that Julie Andrews did a movie with a topless scene (Blake Edwards' "S.O.B.") and still came back to do other Disney movies? I don't think that is a non-starter for the Disney movie group. It would depend on the context...

Agreed...I look at Mary Poppins completely differently after seeing Saving Mr. Banks. However P.L. wrote many Mary Poppins books herself so I see no harm in a sequel. It would be great if they could build the sequel on one of those books or an amalgam of a few to keep the continuity.

There are certain classics that should just be left alone and Mary Poppins is one of them, IMO, at least in a cinematic venue. Is this sequel also going to be a musical?
