Jock's will be located in the former Pleasure Island area of the new Disney Spring's area called The Landing. Last month, we previewed the menu for Jock Lindsey's which can be viewed here.
Disney Working on New "Mary Poppins" Film:
Well, in a bit of surprising news today, Variety announced that Disney is the developmental stages with director Rob Marshall (Into the Woods) in making a new film on Disney's classic "Mary Poppins." John DeLuca and Marc Piatt, both of Into the Woods, will produce the film.
No word about Julie Andrews or Dick Van Dyke taking part in the film. The new film will take place 20 years after the first film and will take stories of Mary from P.L. Travers' children's books that will focus on Mary's continued adventures with the Banks family.
The original film grossed over $100 million in the box office and was a true hit. It won five Oscars that year including Andrews winning Best Actress. The news is certainly shocking after Disney tried previously back in the 1980's to make a sequel of the film, but nothing ever came of it until now.
Are you excited for a new "Mary Poppins" film? The news was first reported by Entertainment Weekly.
