Steven Spielberg is apparently planning to remake classic children's musical Mary Poppins.
Sir Richard Eyre, director of the London stage show has been approached by Spielberg to helm the project. Eyre's stage show is inspired both by the 1964 Julie Andrews movie and the P.L. Travers books on which the film itself was based
Contactmusic.com quote Eyre as saying: "Spielberg wants to make a new film of Mary Poppins and we've talked about it a lot.
"It will be hard to outdo the original but kids love the story and I'm sure that the remake will be a real success."
