In Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee, Sense and Sensibility) returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when shes needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world. A Working Title film, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang is released on DVD and as a DVD and Blu-ray double-pack on 19 July 2010 from Universal Pictures (UK).
In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal; The Dark Knight, Crazy Heart), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once shes arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Greens children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave.
Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.
Joining Thompson and Gyllenhaal for the project are Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, The Boat That Rocked), as Mrs. Greens brother-in-law, Phil, Asa Butterfield (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas) as Mrs. Greens eldest son, Norman; and legendary two-time Academy Award® actress Dame Maggie Smith (Becoming Jane, Harry Potter series) as the somewhat befuddled Mrs. Docherty.
The family comedy was directed by BAFTA winner Susanna White (televisions Bleak House, Generation Kill, Jane Eyre), Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang is based on characters created by Nurse Matilda author Christianna Brand, and was written by Emma Thompson, the Academy®, Emmy, BAFTA and WGA Award-winning actress and screenwriter. Prepare to be enchanted all over again this summer with the chance to own a slice of the magic all you need is Nanny McPhee on DVD and Blu-ray!
