Walt Disney studios is developing a sequel-reboot of the 1991 action-adventure movie, The Rocketeer. They’re hiring Max Winkler and Matt Spicer to pen the script; Brigham Taylor, who produced The Jungle Book with Jon Favreau, is producing along with Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin and Ryan Kalil of the Carolina Panthers. The project titled The Rocketeers , is in the early development stages, but it will have a modern-day twist, and will be headlined by a black female character.

New Movie About The Making Of “Mary Poppins” Is On Its Way…& Tom Hanks Is Playing Walt Disney!
Tom Hanks will take on the role of Walt Disney in a new film about the making of the 1964 classic, Mary Poppins. That movie was a major part of my childhood and I’m sure many others’ as well, so this is extremely exciting news! The film, Saving Mr. Banks, has already begun production around L.A., and will “detail the hurdles that Walt Disney jumped through to make a bright and bubbly musical adaptation of Mary Poppins.” The cast includes Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers (the author of the Mary Poppins book of which the film was inspired by), Colin Farrell as the troubled Travers Goff, The Office’s B.J. Novak and more. Below is the official plot summary. The film is set to hit theaters late next year. This is going to be so good! Marisa Mendez
Actor Tom Hanks To Play Walt Disney
I’ve always wondered when someone will ever make a movie about the late Walt Disney. Now we have learned that Tom Hanks has been chosen for the leading role and I couldn’t be happier with their selection. Hanks always makes amazing movies and I am sure he will not disappoint in this new role. To prepare for this role, Hanks did some research and two trips to the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco! Hanks was quoted saying:
“It’s like a trip to Disneyland itself. It’s the third happiest place on the planet, behind Disneyland and Disney World.”
The life of an actor! I guess we will just have to wait and watch out for the film! Eloisa Melo
