Coming up this Christmas: the behind-the-scenes story of how the beloved film adaptation of Mary Poppins took like, forever and a half to get made.See, once upon a time, even Walt Disney had trouble getting projects off the ground on account of his, well...his being Walt Disney.
The upcoming Saving Mr. Banks chronicles the filmmaker’s years-long struggle to turn Australian author P.L. Travers’ prized possession into a crowd-pleaser starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke (she thought he didn’t understand what Mary Poppins – “never ever” forget her last name! – meant to her).
Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson bring to life Disney and Travers in the Dec. 13 release, which promises plenty of good times (thanks to the actors going tête-à-tête with each other), as well as a bit of an education on a never-told story.
