That's not Mary Poppins! The real Mary Poppins flies in with an umbrella, not a kite. This one's a fraud!

I'd rather watch a movie with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke reprising, even if they are really up there in age.

A story like this doing the feminist gender flip thing would do well to combat stereotypes but unfortunately combating stereotypes isn't really the goal of gender flipped casting.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaass

Funny enough I looked up the cast-just for shits and giggles-Dick Van Dyke is on the cast list.

 

[Neutrinos]

Is it fair to say the original Mary Poppins is the #1 kid's movie of all-time?

The Wizard of Oz probably doesn't qualify as a "kid's movie"

I'm not sure how well Mark Poppins would've worked, but the outrage would've been hilarious.

Yeah, it sounds like he plays the son of the banker in the original film and even has a song and dance number.



It's hard to believe that he's 92.

 

[HanSolo]

Man I thought John Williams still composing for Star Wars in his 80s was crazy.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Well I guess the over 80 crowd will be excited.

 

[Jussi]

If it's not Yondu, I won't watch.

Maybe he'll be the guy on life support in a hospital sequence.

I'm surprised by the negative reactions in this thread. Remakes/Sequels to Disney classics is pretty commonplace now, and if you are going to do it, I'd say Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda are two of the more likable stars to headline something like this.

Because everyone knows if you want to remake a Disney classic, you better damn well cast Ewen McGregor:

Pass, waiting on the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang remake.







No, I'm not.

 

[Neutrinos]

I don't understand the disdain towards these remakes & reboots

If you're not interested in seeing them, then you're not the target audience

I don't care about this movie or the original either way, but I don't really understand this repeated sentiment that if something is not directed at you, then you automatically forgo all right and reason to have an opinion about it. That terrible Dragonball movie was for kids too, but I didn't see anything wrong with fully grown adults who once enjoyed the original raising an eyebrow and being kind of appalled by what was done to it.

Regardless of whether something is meant for you or not, you can still have a respect or attachment to the charm behind something that you feel is now being grossly deformed, and that's still a valid thing to comment on. It can still be recognized as a shame when it happens.

Hasnt disney been trying to make a sequel basically since the original?

Anyway the original was one of my favorites as a kid (behind the original Petes Dragon) but ill give this a shot. Cant think of anyone else that fits better as the new mary poppins then Emma watson

For what it's worth, I wasn't reacting negatively. I was joking. I don't mind this. That could change if it's no good or if it's more of a remake than they're letting on, but, so far, it looks like something that I would watch eventually.

It's Emily Blunt. You probably just mixed up the name or were thinking of the live action Beauty and the Beast. I often confuse Emily Watson and Emma Watson, myself.

No, I'm not.

I want a bedknobs and broomsticks remake. You can't go wrong with magic users fighting nazis!

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Emily Blunt? I was hoping to see Idris Elba

[Jussi]

Pretty good songs. Didn't know Emily Blunt had such a singing voice.

After seeing the trailer, all I could think of was this scene
