Gyllenhaal Joins Nanny McPhee Sequel

April 11, 2009

Production Weekly says that Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) will star opposite Emma Thompson in the Nanny McPhee sequel, titled Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang.

"Big Bang" is set one hundred years after the first film. The magical nanny deals with city children and country children who are evacuees during World War II. It's about the war and the war between these two sets of extremely different children.

The film starts shooting next month at Shepperton Studios.

The first one was a nice surprise; nothing amazing, but an enjoyable family film. And Thompson is always great. Odd that there's this follow-up.

I'm surprised that there'll be a sequel. The film wasn't that bad, I was lucky enough to see it when things were a bit down.

But I guess you guys are all American so a lot of the humour and injokes would get lost on you since it's a British film.

And Cole, that's the attitude with Americans and any movie NOT made in America.

Quite sad, really. You're missing out on a great variety of film.

I thought Nanny McPhee was teriffic. Sure, it's a kids movie, and it *is* highly stylized (reminds me a little of Roald Dahl actually). I'm glad to see thewre will be a follow-up.

Calum I agree with you. Americans miss alot of our British humor in many films. Alot just don;t get it but it takes alot to beat it in my opinion. I live in Minneapolis and have seen this for years.
