I LOVE Julie Walters. And Meryl Streep. I wish Meryl were British just so she could be in HP.

That’s Molly? Wow, she looks so different… I just saw a trailer for the Mama Mia movie today, wondered what it was about…

Very cool! I really want to see mama Mia!

Here’s additional news about HP casts on the red carpet: A few days ago Jason Isaacs was here at the premiere of Wanted at the LA Film Festival. You can see a pic of him at this site: http://movies.about.com/od/wanted/ig/Wanted-Premiere-Photos/index.01.htm

I really want to see this movie! Is it the same story as the musical?

@Jess > It’s the musical - same people responsible for both, same plot, same ABBA songs, same metallic costumes and platform shoes ;)

Doesn’t she look amazing! I hope I look half that good when I’m her age. She just radiates the kind of beauty that doesn’t concern itself with trifles like wrinkles but instead with confidence and grace. One look at her and you know she’s a woman who is sharp, intelligent, and in possession of a great sense of humor. She only improves with age!

OMG, I didn’t realize that Julie Walters was in Mamma Mia (Too easily distracted by fighting to the urge to break out singing every time I see the trailer… and when I’m not doing that, I’m droolin’ over Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth! Yummy!

I think this movie is going to be so delicious… can’t wait!

Julie Walters is a fantastic actress and seems a lovely lady as well. However, no force on earth(or HP) could entice me to watch Mamma Mia – I loathe musicals with a passion (lol).

I loved the stage show, I just hope they do it justice on screen! With Julie Walters and Meryl Streep though, I have faith :)

Since I couldn’t see the theatre production, I’m looking forward to seeing a few of my favorite actresses (julie walters, meryl streep, and christine beranski) on the screen production. It may not be the same but with Tom Hanks as an executive producer, I’m hoping that it’s great.

U.S. Entertainment Tonight (ET) has part 2 of Momma Mia in Greece interviews tonight.

Yay! Meyrl Streep and Julie Walters in the same film! They are two of the best female actresses around. And in a great musical no less! I love Abba and cannot wait to see this film!
