I haven't read the article but the only way for that to work would be like they did for Nanny McPhee. The sequel LITERALLY took place about 50 or 60 years after the original.

However, they do have a problem that McPhee didn't where the actress is 50 years later so I don't know if they'll recast or have someone else with the same concept like when Cinderella's fairy godmother had a niece training to be a godmother on Sophia the First.

It sounds like it's going to be the same characters, so I can only assume they will have to recast the entire cast. :o
I just don't know if I can accept that. :o

It says 20 years later following the kids.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Seems a bit odd to have a nanny come back and follow the 20 something kids. :o

Interesting...I am not sure how I feel about it either :-/

Just saw another headline on yahoo, apparently a lot of people are not happy. :o
Wonder if Disney will listen?

[owlstorm_9]

Casting and Script!

Just so they keep Ms Lohan away from this!!!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I hope Disney is smart enough to have nothing to do with her any more. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

why you're not happy with this one? You are always happy with remakes.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Nope. :o
Not a fan of remakes, and most sequels, especially classics as big as Mary Poppins.

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

oh yes, now I see (I'm not awake yet), it's a sequel.

hmmmmmmmm that changes it all

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Julie Andrews will always be Mary Poppins for me. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

that's SO true. It would be like trying to replace her in 'The sound of music' also.. that's impossible!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY, even though they tried it over here. UGH...

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

URGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

This sounds like the leaders of the Disney enterprise are desperate.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I call it a lack of creativity. :(

[seaivy.livejournal.com]

i read all of the P L Travers books

they could indeed just do a new version
but 20 years later Mary Poppins is now nearing 50 with a bit of a droop and sag?
her "admirer" is a bit bald and paunchy?

in the books Mary is no Julie Andrews
she is "starchy" and opinionated and plain looking.
she bends everyone to her will and not by a sunny smile. lol

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

EEP, I don't think that would have been a successful movie. lol...

[sistrmoon.livejournal.com]

I'll watch it:) one of my favorite movies growing up.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I probably will, but I am just afraid of what they will do.
Guess I will wait for the previes. :o

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Why do they need to do a remake. wan't the or the original the best.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

That's how I felt when they decided they had to write and then film Scarlett, the sequel to Gone With The Wind. OMg.....

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Not a remake of that one as well. Bet is is even longer though.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I can't remember. They made it into a TV mini series. I don't remember if it was two nights or four.
Needless to say I didn't watch it. :o

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Yep, stick with the original is my motto, usually.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Especially in this case.
I can't imagine the actress that would dare step into those shoes. :o

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

I am really not sure they should be doing this!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I am really leaning towards NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
