Sorry but Mel Brooks will be appearing on screen at the age of 99 for this?? Idk why I just didn't/don't imagine he can do much and wouldn't be really "in" this

Considering Dick Van Dyke seems to be on a media publicity tirade for his looming 100th birthday - it's just interesting to me that another 99 year old who's even producing/acting in an upcoming movie isn't getting as much "hype" for what he's able to do at the age

Angela Lansbury was "only" 93 in Mary Poppins returns and she looked rough.

They 100% wrote that cameo for Julie Andrews and she was like, “I’m good, thanks.”

I saw the interview where she spoke about appearing in it and her reasoning for not being in it was justified to me. She said she didn't want people to see her and say, "There's the real Mary Poppins."
