Mary Poppins of 2018

  It seems there will be a NEW Mary Poppins movie coming soon.

This time, it will be different. How? Not just because there is a different actress portraying, but the story itself, it's called MARY POPPINS RETURNS.

   This one is about when the children are grown up. Michael (portrayed by the voice of Paddington, Ben Winshaw) and his family. Mary Poppins doesn't age, I could tell...








                                                                     

Emily Blunt does a little like Julie Andrews, but will she be better? I don't think so. I grew up loving Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. I already know the tragedy of young Michael actor dying young, but in this version....
  He's all grown up. Jane will be there too.

And so will...
DICK VAN DYKE! If it wasn't for him, I don't know if I wanted to see it. But that's just me.
I should give this a chance as well.

Not every remake of a movie sucks.
This isn't a remake, but a new story. Colin Firth portrays, what I believe, the character Dick Van Dyke portrayed, I'm not sure.


   I think Dick Van Dyke's character, Bert, from the first one. He either will have a small scene, or will portray an older version of Bert. I don't know, it's been a long time.

       When I was young... Dick Van Dyke was in everything: Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, even his own show.
   Now a days, he's still acting, and this is one of them.

In this new version, the reason why Mary Poppins is back, if for Michael and his daughter. There could be a theory that his wife might be leaving him, or he just wanted her to help his children like she did for him and his sister.


   I might give this movie a chance. Around the holiday season, like most great movies. I will see 'Christopher Robin' A story about a young Christopher Robin, all grown up and Winnie the Pooh still helping him.

  Erwin McGregor will portray the adult Christopher Robbin. I have seen previews for it, and it looks AMAZING.

Sometimes, you can never know if a movie based on a book, such like Mary Poppins, will work.


About a nanny who is full of magic, fun and amazement. This new one, is like a second story by author P.L. Travers. If she were alive, who knows if she would like it or not.

She was alive when the original Mary Poppins movie was out. She thought it was not bad
There was another story that involved a maid called Amila Bedila. Written by Peggy Parish, another story about a maid who has magical powers. She has interesting stories as well about the children she was with. Amelia Bedila was vey popular in the sixties to the seventies. I got into the books since my mother kept a hold of them.


Will they ever make an Amelia Bedila movie? Who knows. We just have Mary Poppins to enjoy, and this one that is coming, looks good, not great, has the same touch of magic, I would say. There are good actors in them, even with Dick Van Dyke as well as Angela Lansberry. What I would like, at the end, is to see Julie Andrews, holding her umbrella, flying in the sky.

   For me, Emily is a little young, and she has a lot to learn. Let's see how this one does against the original. Will it be silly, magical? Who knows. All I can tell, is it better be worth it.
Good luck, Mary, we can't wait to see yo u again.
