Amanda Seyfried posted the following photo online this weekend with the hashtag #HereWeGoAgain which leads us to believe that Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again is officially filming now...or has officially wrapped filming? One or the other...
Now, I know that TFE has been a big ol' grinch about the first movie which a lot of people love but we're happy to try out the new movie since ABBA is the greatest pop band of all time and there are so many songs left to be sung. Plus the sequel has a new director Ol Parker (Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and the principle problem with the original movie (aside from terrible jukebox book source material) was that Phyllida Lloyd didn't seem to understand what a camera was for much less where to point it, how to stage anything for it and possibly what editing even was once you'd actually shot something.
Here are my top twenty favorite songs by ABBA that weren't "sung" in the first movie. Sung is in quotes in case they ask Pierce Brosnan to warble again.
- Knowing Me Knowing You
- One Of Us
- The Way Old Friends Do
- Under Attack
- Summer Night City
- Fernando
- Angel Eyes
- Chiquitita
- Waterloo
- Ring Ring
- Happy New Year
- Eagle
- On and On and On
- Head Over Heels
- Another Town, Another Train
- I Do I Do I Do I Do
- So Long
- The Visitors
- People Need Love
- Tiger
