Well, the rumors have been swirling since sometime in 2009, but there is still no validity to them, and now they are starting up again. Many actually believe that a version of “Mary Poppins” called ‘Poppins’ is actually being created by Tim Burton, but there is no real info about it anywhere.
A fan made poster for ‘Poppins’ by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter has been making the rounds, and it’s started a ton of rumors.
As of now, this is not a film that is happening…at all.
A Tim Burton version of “Mary Poppins” has been talked about for some time, but there has never been any confirmation from Burton, Depp, or Disney about this ‘Poppins’ movie.
Some sites are reporting that Tim Burton announced it over the past week on his official Facebook page, but there is no mention of it anywhere on there. There is also not this fan-made poster that so many people are starting to believe.
It is obviously a photoshopped fan-made poster for ‘Poppins.’ A decent looking one, but still fan-made. It says the film is going to hit theaters in November of 2016, but that also isn’t happening.
At least not at this time.
For true Disney fans, they’ll also notice a bit of an issue with the quote on the poster that Bert said in the film “Mary Poppins.” On the poster, the second part states “there’s a mist coming in.” The actual quote simply says, “mist coming in.”
Little things like that are easy to catch, and it shows this is all just for fun. While there is nothing saying that Disney couldn’t go forward with this project if it ever were to come about…but for now, there is no ‘Poppins’ and no version of “Mary Poppins” coming from Tim Burton anytime soon.
I would love to see the movie if they used the people in the poster
So sad to see this. I was looking forward to this movie, and wondered why I never saw any ads for it.
