if Disney remade Mary Poppins, who would/should they cast as Mary? i bet they would want Anne Hathaway.

Posted by dug (aka chris) Jun 21 '09, 20:37

i think Kate Winslet could pull it off better

Emma Thompson would have been perfect ten years ago

Responses:

They'd probably pick the pop-tart of the season, Avril Lavigne? or ....gag...britney -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 22:40
Anna Faris -- nm - David Jun 21, 21:14
Do NOT even joke about that!!!! I will renounce all things Disney if they do that :( -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 21, 21:04 1
- they already restaged it as a musical. i presume it's only a matter of time -- nm - dug Jun 21, 21:05
Laura Harris! But they would go with Amy Adams. -- nm - Max Jun 21, 21:02
And Hugh Jackman as Bert -- nm - eag Jun 21, 20:45 8
- i think that would be perfect casting, actually -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:46 7
  - hear hear. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 20:57
  - in this scenario I could see Nicole Kidman, but she's not the first one I'd think of otherwise. -- nm - Max Jun 21, 20:55 1
    - Box Office Poison -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 21:50
  - Ewan Mcgregor would be my second choice -- nm - eag Jun 21, 20:51 3
    - in bed. -- nm - lileve Jun 21, 21:00 2
      - second choice? -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 21:02 1
        
        after Pippy :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 21, 21:22
Teri Hatcher.. let's spice it up a bit.. HAHA -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Jun 21, 20:39
Amy Adams. -- nm - TWuG Jun 21, 20:38
I could see Hathaway. does she sing? -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 20:37 24
- yes. i think her accent would be worse than Van Dyke's -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:38 21
  - Americanize the damn thing. No reason anyone needs a Brit accent or for it to be set in Britain. -- nm - TWuG Jun 21, 20:40 20
    - this is the worst remake idea I've ever heard. you're a studio exec, aren't you? -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 21:34 1
      - So bad. like, freaked me out a little bad. - TFox Jun 21, 21:52
    - Where in America are they going to go down all of those cool chimneys and have chimney sweeps hanging around on the streets? -- nm - jnine Jun 21, 20:42 10
      - Kids of today: "WTF is a chimney sweep?" - TWuG Jun 21, 20:54 5
        
        they should totally do that with the sound of music too. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 21:32 1
        
        let's not start the crazy talk -- nm - dug Jun 21, 21:50
        
        Next you'll be wanting them to get rid of the scene where they jump into the chalk sketches on the sidewalk. -- nm - jnine Jun 21, 21:17 1
        
        I honestly don't care what they do. I didn't like it then, I'm not likely to like it now. -- nm - TWuG Jun 21, 21:22
        
        "Yo Poppins!" -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:55
      - Brooklyn? -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 20:46 1
        
        Are there chimney sweeps hanging around in Brooklyn? Who is Bert going to do his dance number with? London is best, Paris would be ok. -- nm - jnine Jun 21, 20:48
      - f chimneys! america has landfills. Burt can be a proud American garbage man! -- nm - tWuG Jun 21, 20:44 1
        
        That's so picturesque and Disneylike. -- nm - jnine Jun 21, 20:45
    - thanks, Jino McFreedom -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:41 2
      - *Jingo* -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:41 1
        
        I'm fine with Britain. Some of my favorite shows are British, but Mary Poppins was ersatz British. - TWuG Jun 21, 20:56
    - No no no no no no. (nmbmorenos) - Qale Jun 21, 20:41 2
      - i guarantee the disney marketers would want it in NYC -- nm - dug Jun 21, 20:42 1
        
        Well they're Americanizing "Let the Right One In" which is a terrible mistake too. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 21:03
    - *gasp* It totally has to be in London. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 20:41
- You saw the Oscars this year, right? -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 20:38 1
  - oh, right. I think she'd be fine. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 20:39
