It's not a remake.
It's a follow up... 20 years later, the children are grown-up, and magical mysterious Mary Poppins returns to Depression-era London to visit Jane and her brother Michael, now a father of three, and helps them rediscover the joy they knew as children.
It looks fabulous and I for one can't wait to see it!
I suggest an OFF outing for FUN to cheer everyone up and get rid of the grumps and cynics!

Unfortunately I will have to as the week it opens we are on our knees in work
From the trailers its looking really go. Enough of a nod to us oldies who love the original, and enough new magic for the new to Mary Poppins

I always wondered why they never remade this old horror film, it has a great story and I’m sure it would be a winner today, it can be watched on tube.
“The Man Who Changed His Mind" is a 1936 British science fiction horror film starring Boris Karloff and Anna Lee. It was directed by Robert Stevenson and was produced by Gainsborough Pictures. The film was also known as The Brainsnatcher or The Man Who Lived Again” Wiki.
I'll look that film up!

I know they probably think they have a sure thing by re-making old favourites but surely there are just as good unseen films to be made!
What say you?
