Ten years after Meryl Streep led an all-singing
cast in "Mamma Mia!", audiences get another chance to belt out
some Abba tunes in the cinema with the highly anticipated box
office hit's sequel, where old as well as new faces take to the
floor.
"Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" looks back on the younger years of
Donna as her daughter Sophie finds out she is pregnant. Donna's
character is portrayed by Streep while Sophie is played by
Amanda Seyfried.
Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard reprise their
roles as Sophie's three fathers, while Christine Baranski and
Julie Walters return as Donna's good friends Tanya and Rosie.
"I had the most glorious time on this movie. Ten years seem to
have gone by with the speed of a flame," Brosnan told a news
conference in Stockholm on Wednesday.
"This is a unique film for me in my life ... Seeing Cher come up
on the stage is one of those glorious things that I'll never
forget."
Pop star Cher, 72, is among the new faces in the sequel, with
her character making a very glamorous entrance and singing Abba
hit "Fernando" with actor Andy Garcia.
"Super Trooper" and "Waterloo" are some of the other catchy Abba
songs featured in the film.
"This is a part of your life, if you feel young and sexy at any
age, Abba is the perfect soundtrack to your life," Baranski said
of music by the group.
