Come inside to learn more!
Frankly speaking, it's still a little odd to be writing about a sequel to Mary Poppins. It's not something I thought would ever happen, but lo and behold...Mary Poppins Returns already started filming. Today Disney brings the announcement for the start of production, giving us some more insight into the sequel's story as well as the impressive cast they've assembled.
“Mary Poppins Returns” is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in Pl Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up,...

Oscar also-rans Alexandre Desplat, Patrick Doyle, Danny Elfman, and Thomas Newman are all in the hunt for their first win this year in Best Original Score. Their work numbers among the 104 compositions deemed eligible by the academy this week. -Insertgroups:12- To prevail, they will have to edge out five-time Oscar champ John Williams ("Lincoln") who is in first place with odds of 27/10. Williams has racked up a staggering 47 nominations, an achievement second only to Walt Disney (59). Identifying trends in this category is difficult. Last year's winner was Ludovic Bource for the music that accompanied the silent action of "The Artist." Other recent winners include contemporary films ("The Social Network"), period pictures ("Atonement"), animated flicks ("Up"), and fantasy epics ("The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King").

Now that you have seen it, what did you think of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Did you stick with the series ten years, eight movies, and seven books? Have you read the books at all? What was your favorite moment from the Harry Potter films? Harry Potter’s theatrical structure, splitting the final edition into separate films, is a structure currently being adopted by many book adaptations coming to theaters in the next few years, most notably The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and The Hunger Games. Did it bother you that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was split into two parts or did it make the film even better?

Daniel Radcliffe, Ralph Fiennes, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 The eighth and last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has received a rave review from The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw. "It all ends," says the poster slogan. A potentially grim statement of the obvious, of course, yet the Potter saga could hardly have ended on a better note. With one miraculous flourish of its wand, the franchise has restored the essential magic to the Potter legend – which had been starting to sag and drift in recent movies – zapping us all with a cracking final chapter, which looks far superior to Cs Lewis's The Last Battle or Jrr Tolkien's The Return of the King. It's dramatically satisfying, spectacular and terrifically exciting, easily justifying the decision to split the last book into two. Directed by David Yates, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2...
