Here's Scarlett Johansson, Poppin out to collect the children during the filming of her latest movie, The Nanny Diaries.
The 21-year-old actress is emulating the famous scene from Disney's 1964 film Mary Poppins, where Julie Andrews floats over London clutching her umbrella.
Johansson's scenes are part of a dream sequence in which she soars high above New York City.
The effect was achieved by technicians strapping her into a safety harness, before she was hoisted by a crane to "float" down to earth.
