'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Shooting, Cast, Release Date, Synopsis and Everything About the Most Awaited Sequel
It looked like it was one of those internet rumours that come and go from time to time, but nope. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a reality and will be released much sooner than we imagined, just in time to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the 2006 film directed by David Frankel in which he adapted the novel of the same title by Lauren Weisberger that was a bestseller since its publication in 2003. In it, Weisberger narrated in the first person her experience as assistant to the editor-in-chief of one of the most important fashion magazines in the world, Runway . A sort of transcript of this magazine that served as a vehicle to uncover the vanities of the fashion world, but also to give the importance it deserves to an industry often branded as frivolous and insubstantial. It was in 2006 when this adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada , which has even had a musical version in London and New York, hit theatres. A cast with Meryl Streep in the role of Miranda Priestley, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt ran like clockwork for a film that became an instant classic and garnered two Oscar nominations that year, for Streep's performance and Patricia Field's incredible costumes. Since then, the film has positioned itself as a reference work for all fashion lovers and has become the less brainy and rather more punkish reverse of other feature films that delve into the world of fashion, such as Robert Altman's unforgettable Pret-a-porter . And in Hollywood where a dearth of ideas has become a running joke, the sequel was a given. What's more, Streep, Hathaway and Blunt took the stage at the 2024 SAG Awards to recreate one of the film's iconic scenes and hint that something was brewing. And so it has been. Who's in the cast of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'? As we've already discussed, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt will return as Miranda, Andy and Emily once again. Stanley Tucci is confirmed to return as Nigel. Joining the cast is Kenneth Branagh in the role of Miranda's husband. Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak and Justin Theroux will also be in the cast. The one who will not return, confirmed, is Adrien Grenier, who in the first installment plays Nate, the real villain of the film according to some fans. What is 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' about? Miranda Priestley has to deal with the loss of influence of luxury magazines and, above all, the lack of advertisers in traditional media. Runway is not what it used to be and to get it afloat again she will have to desperately get the investment of a group of luxury brands that now runs. Emily, the unfortunate character of Emily Blunt in the first of the films, has finally been able to travel to Paris fashion week. Nothing has been announced about Andy Sachs, the recent journalism graduate played by Anne Hathaway. We will remain expectant. Is it possible to see the trailer of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'? Not yet. Only a clip has been advanced in which the heel of the original film has been multiplied by two and the iconic phrases of the first feature are heard in the background.
