MAMMA MIA HERE WE GO AGAIN
You can almost hear the sound of Abba's greatest hits as MAMMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN is ready to dance its way into cinemas this weekend! And speaking of those songs, you will again hear Waterloo, I Have a Dream, Dancing Queen, Fernando and of course, Mamma Mia in the sequel too! Directed by Ol Parker, it is opening July 20th set after the events of the first film with flashbacks to 1979 to tell the story of how Donna came to be on the island of Kalokairi and trying to figure out who fathered her daughter, Sophie.
DONNA IS DEAD!
Five years after the events of Mamma Mia!, on the Greek island of Kalokairi, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is pregnant with Sky's (Dominic Cooper) child while running her mother's (Meryl Streep) villa. Her relationship with Sky has been turbulent for some time, giving her cause to doubt that she can survive without her mother, Donna, who had passed away one year prior. With Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie's (Julie Walters) guidance, Sophie will find out more of Donna's past, including how she fronted The Dynamos, started her villa on the island from nothing, met each one of Sophie's dads (Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård, and Colin Firth), and raised a daughter, without a mother to guide her. She also has an unexpected visit from someone she has never even met: her grandmother, Ruby Sheridan (Cher).

WHO ELSE IS IN THE FILM?
With the flashbacks featuring rather heavily in the movie with the main character from the original 2008 movie now dead and gone, the cast will also include younger versions of the leading stars and thus Lily James joins the movie as young Donna, Jessica Keenan Wynn as Young Tanya, Alexa Davies as Young Rosie. When it comes to boys, Jeremy Irvine joins the cast as Irish American architect Young Sam, Hugh Skinner as British banker Young Harry and Josh Dylan as Young Bill, Swedish sailor and travel writer! Andy García is Fernando Cienfuegos, the manager of the Hotel Bella Donna, old friend of Ruby’s! Celia Imrie is Vice-Chancellor! The movie was shot last year in the wonderful seaside of Croatia where Game of Thrones is also being shot!
I don't know that I would pay theatre prices to see this, but I might rent it later.
ReplyDeletemy thought exactly, Debs, although I won't even rent it LOL
DeleteWell, Abba band and its hits need no introduction, but I'm not sure I understand who's going to sing in this movie.
ReplyDelete(On another topic, Congratulations for your compatrot's winning of the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Great honor!).
Donna and her Dinamos are going to sing!
DeleteOh, thank you! The whole nation is happy about Nole's victory! We hope it is his return among the greatest after a pause in which he was searching for himself.
Is Cher supposed to be Meryl Streep's mother? Really? Mamma mia!
ReplyDeleteindeed, but Meryl's dead at least in it
DeleteThe posters look entertaining, but I'll still be skipping this one. Too many liberal loonies mashed together in one film for my liking.
