It’s been six years since Cher starred in a film, yet she’ll reportedly be making her go back to the silver screen with the Mamma Mia! follow up, in a duty that appears kind of puzzling at first look.
According to the New York Post, she’ll be playing the mom of Meryl Streep’s personality Donna— odd, given that Streep is 68 while Cher is simply 71, but the singer/actress/bona fide social icon will star in flashbacks that happen in the ’60s. Suitable, considered that she (as well as her waist-length hippie hair) rose to importance during the decade.
Mamma Mia! Right here We Go Again is slated for release on June 20, 2018, a complete ten years after the initial movie hit theatres, and Cher validated her involvement via Twitter, much to the pleasure of followers. Specifically the one to whose tweet she replied.
It’s uncertain what the specific plot of the sequel is, yet it sounds like a huge emphasis will be Donna’s coming-of-age. Lily James is joined to play young Donna, while Amanda Seyfried will certainly repeat her function as Donna’s child Sophie. Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, as well as Julie Walters will certainly likewise return.
And while I’m not persuaded the globe actually needs a Mamma Mia! follow up, Cher and Meryl Streep sharing screentime suffices of a reason for me to commit to seeing it. Oh, as well as the assurance of disco-era fashion inspiration doesn’t hurt either.
