Saving Mr. Banks

Post by WEDFan » Tue Dec 11, 2012 11:01 am

Has anyone here heard about this movie due in 2013? It is supposed to be a behind the scenes tale of the making of Mary Poppins with Tom Hanks as WED and Emma Thompson as P L Travers. I know it's been shooting at the Disney Studios (making use of some of the actual buildings involved), but I haven't heard too much in the way of how accurate it is in the telling. I know the relationship was purported to be rather rocky during the filming, and Travers felt betrayed. I wonder how much the film will relate.

Heard about it, they had an open casting call for Extras dressed in period clothing to film at Grauman's Chinese Theatre recently. I didn't go, but some friends of mine took pics :)

A few weeks back, they did some filming at DL's Fantasyland and Tom Hanks appeared in the park. I didn't get to see much of it as I work next door in Tomorrowland.
