 DISNEY'S NEW 'MARY POPPINS'!

I've informed you about this last Autumn, but now it has been confirmed that Emily Blunt, the actress in highest demand in Hollywood currently, has officially entered talks to star in MARY POPPINS 2 for Disney! Taking place some twenty years after the original movie the sequel will be set in the 1930s London, following the adult Michael Banks, who now has children of his own. When his big sister Jane returns to town, after falling on hard times, their beloved Mary Poppins comes back to help.The movie will follow some of other MARY POPPINS books that P.L. Travers wrote. Rob Marshall (CHICAGO, INTO THE WOODS) is directing with new songs being written for the movie. It will be quite a road for Emily Blunt to go from the ice queen in HUNTSMAN and a drunkard in GIRL ON THE TRAIN (both opening this year) to a beloved nanny!

'EMERALD CITY' 

1ST PHOTOS FROM EPIC SERIES

We continue with my end of year mission to present you with all the new TV stuff coming to us in 2016! And today I have for you the sweetest of treats, the first photos from my own most anticipated new show of the year NBC's epic fantasy series EMERALD CITY giving us the first glimpses of Adria Arjona as Dorothy and Oliver Jackson Cohen as Scarecrow, Vincent D'Onofrio as the Wizard and Florence Kasumba as the Wicked Witch of the East. Visual genius Tarsem Singh is directing the ten part series in which 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is transported to a mystical land in great peril, where an all-powerful Wizard has outlawed magic and rules over the many kingdoms. This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before — where lethal warriors roam, wicked witches plot in the shadows and a young girl from Kansas becomes the headstrong hero who holds the fate of their world in her hands. Joely Richardson plays Glinda.

It follows a confident-but-failed semipro football player (Ashton Kutcher) who returns to Colorado to help run the family ranch. Danny Masterson is his second-fiddle brother, and Sam Elliott is their stiff-necked father. Their strong-willed mother (Debra Winger) owns a bar and temporarily lives in a trailer behind it while she figures out her marriage.
