"Saving Mr. Banks" is a film about the behind the scenes turmoil during the making of Walt Disney's 'Mary Poppins' (1964).
Great cast: Tom Hanks plays Walt Disney, Emma Thompson is the author
P.I. Travers, Colin Farrell is Emma Thompson's father (in flashbacks to her childhood.)
I think it's scheduled for a Christmas release.

(100,107 posts)Irving Zissman is hilarious doing that sort of thing:
You know the stripper thing is actually sort of interesting social commentary too as the mothers there don't realize that what they are doing to their daughters, while not THAT extreme is along the same lines.

(14,400 posts)as the little guy was finishing his pole dance I laughed loud enough that someone came into my office to see what was so damned funny.
Then we were both laughing.
I can't wait to see that one.
Looking forward to The Family too.

(54,256 posts)Based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty (personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by Michael Fassbender), as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) will forever alter his life.
