Colin Farrell in Saving Mr Banks

Two new images from Saving Mr Banks have been released, giving us a first look at Colin Farrell in the film.

The movie, directed by John Lee Hancock, tells the story of Walt Disney's (Tom Hanks) campaign to adapt P. L Travers' (Emma Thompson) novel, Mary Poppins for the big screen.

Unfortunately for Walt, however, Travers isn't keen on his plans.

Released via Digital Spy, the images see Farrell in flashback scenes as the author's father, Robert Goff Travers.

His on-screen wife, Margaret Goff is played by Ruth Wilson, while Annie Buckley plays the young writer.
