Mary Poppins continues to stay in people's hearts since its 1964 release.

Now, Disney is dusting of Ms. Poppins for a new flick chronicling how Walt Disney got the rights to the book.

The new film, Saving Mr. Banks, will show how close Mary Poppins' author, Aussie P.L. Travers, was to her prized book.

So who are the megastars slated to play Disney and Travers?

None other than Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep!

And it sounds really good!

We've just learned that Warner Bros is currently in negotiations to pick up Your Voice in My Head, a drama based on the memoir of writer Emma Forrest, which is being directed by Harry Potter's David Yates!

We're ALSO hearing that Emma Watson is in talks to take on the lead role of

Say it ain't so!

Well, it's actually not a bad thing that Jonah Hill wants to do more drama considering how fantastic he was alongside Brad Pitt in Moneyball, but we hope he doesn't abandon the genre completely.

The Superbad star is taking his Oscar nomination as a sign that the people want him to play more serious roles, telling sources:

We're going with the majority on this one; it is rather insensitive.

With Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close out in theaters now, ads for the film are plastered everywhere across the country, but mainly in major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles … and of course, New York City.

While the studio has every right to promote their movie in the city where the horrific real life tragedy took place, it is more the placement of their ads that have people concerned. Namely, several video ads — with footage of the burning towers — have been playing at subway stops surrounding Ground Zero in Manhattan. Many New Yorkers have complained (see above), considering the ads very distasteful.

Upon hearing the complaints, WB released this statement, saying:

Who else? Johnny Depp!

For the second year around, the sexiest Pirate ever the sail into cinemas has nabbed the #1 spot on the anuual Harris Poll of America's Favorite Actors. Oddly enough, his work in The Tourist didn't detour people away from loving them (although, it must've for Angelina Jolie; she was #5 last year and this year she dropped off completely!)

Strangely enough, it was the people who hadn't made films this past year that rounded out the top five, with the exception of Tom Hanks. Clint Eastwood and Denzel Washington tied for second place and following Hanks in fifth place is legendary screen icon John Wayne.

Hear that, Angie Pilgrim! You got bumped by the Duke!

Rounding out the list was George Clooney, Harrison Ford and the only female to make it this year, Sandra Bullock.

Yeah, Sandra Bullock is really gunning for a second Oscar with this baby!

The second trailer for Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks' upcoming tearjerker drama Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close is here and it's as heart-wrenching as the first.

Check it out in the video (above).

Julia Roberts is attached to star and produce her new flick, Second Act.

Roberts will play a woman who hasn't worked a day in her life but is forced to get a job.

Julia owns her own production compnay, Red Om Films, and will produce through the company.

She is also becoming more active in front the camera, starring with Tom Hanks in Larry Crowne and the Evil Queen in one of the upcoming Snow White movies, Mirror, Mirror.

This seems a bit silleh!!

The Spanish distributor for Larry Crowne, Tripictures, has found themselves in a bit of a situation…

For "promoting reckless driving" in the promotional ad which features Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, Spanish Traffic Authorities felt it necessary to fine Tripictures 30,000 euros. That's $41,300!!!

Tripictures couldn't believe it. They stated:
