Saw the trailer and looks interesting. I know it's about the making of Mary Poppins but I am more curious to see how Tom Hanks portrays Walt Disney.
I agree this movie is going to live or die on Tom Hanks.
I'm very excited for this film! I'm more interested in seeing Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers (since I adore her acting). But true, Tom Hanks, I hope, will do Walter Elias Disney justice!
I cannot STAND Tom Hanks. Plus, I never really cared much for Mary Poppins, so a 90 minute movie about how Walt Disney acquired the rights to the film is hardly something I'm willing to invest any time into. So no matter how big a Disney fan I am, I will be skipping this one entirely.
Honestly - I have never ever been so excited for a movie. Mary is by far my absolute favorite movie - since im 3 years old - and the combination of the movies premise, the actors, the fact that its Disney, and that its out around Christmas time is super exciting to me.
Fyi - I love mary so much that when I met julie andrews at a book signing 3 years ago, I broke down in tears and could hardly breathe. I was in the presence of an icon!
And along those lines, who exactly are they targeting with this movie? Besides Disney fans, I mean. Oh, and maybe Hanks fans. But at the end of the day, does the average movie goer REALLY care about the story of Walt Disney buying the rights to one of his movies?
