Marc Platt: We went right to the source. We went to P.L. Travers. And, it turns out that P.L. Travers wrote eight books, and the original film really capitalises on only one of the books. And what we found in her books was really a treasure trove of new characters and episodes. We realised that we could bring the sequel our own version and our own ...
MP: She wrote her books in 1934 and 1935. Our film, Mary Poppins Returns, is set in those years, which is the Depression Era in England. So, it takes place about 25 years after the original film took place. We went after David Magee who was an Academy Award winning screenwriter -- he also notably wroteLife of Pi, Finding Neverland-- to work with us...
MP:Our story is, as I said, set in the 1930s. Michael Banks — the young boy from the original film — is now a father of a family and he's living in Cherry Tree Lane in the house and he has children. There's been a loss in the family, and so there's a need for Mary Poppins to come back into their world and to the world of these new children, and to ...
MP: When it came to casting, really, we could only think of one person to step into the shoes and to own the role of Mary Poppins and that was Emily Blunt, an actress who we've worked with on Into the Woods and most recently we did Girl on the Trainwith her. She's not only a consummate actress, who possesses a tremendous craft as an actress, she si...
MP: Mary's a character who lives outside time. She's magic. And so she is the one character who actually doesn't age. So she is as ever as we know her and as she will be forever, that character.
MP: Jack in our film is an adult protégé of the original character Burt. But he's not a chimney sweep, he's a leerie. Back in the day the leeries were those who rode around on bicycles with ladders and climbed up to the lamp posts and lit the street lamps on the streets of London, and then doused them in the morning when the dawn would rise. To pla...
MP: Our other cast members include: Colin Firth, who plays the head of a bank, the antagonist in the piece. The brilliant Ben Whishaw — you might know him in James Bondmovies — plays Michael Banks grown up. Brilliant actor, I might add. Emily Mortimer plays his sister. Meryl Streep joins us again and she plays a relative of Mary Poppins, a distant ...
MP:Also joining us for the film, from the original, is Dick Van Dyke, who plays a similar character to the original. You know, he played two characters in the original film. He played Burt and he played the old banker, Mr. Dawes. Well, in this film he actually plays that old Mr. Dawes's son, who now is the same age as Mr. Dawes. So he looks kind of...
