Making Mary Poppins Into a Movie

Disney Studios are doing a film about Walt Disney convincing author P. L. Travers to let him make her beloved book Mary Poppins into a film. Apparently selling her on the project was no small accomplishment.

The new movie is titled Saving Mr. Banks. Starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as P. L. Travers, it is promised for release at Christmas this year.

If you didn't guess, I like the Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke film. See the article at PJ Media Lifestyle for more details and a trailer. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
