The Devil Wears Prada to Get Sequel 18 Years Later
The popular fashion film "The Devil Wears Prada" will get a sequel 18 years after its release, reports Puck. Disney will produce the sequel.
The script for the second part of the popular film will be written by Elin Brosh McKenna, who worked on the original film, and Meryl Streep will return to the role of Miranda Priestly. According to the plot, the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Podium" will save the publication in the era of social networks and modern technologies from economic problems and closure, and Miranda will turn to her former assistant Emily, who will again be played by Emily Blunt, for help. In recent years, she has managed to climb the career ladder and become an influential figure in a large luxury corporation. It is not yet known whether other key characters from the original film - Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci - will return to their roles.
The film "The Devil Wears Prada" directed by David Frankel was released in 2006. The comedy drama was based on the book of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, which tells the story of a girl who gets a job at one of the influential fashion magazines. The film was a great success largely because, according to critics, the prototype of Miranda Priestly was Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who is known for her demanding character and tough management style.
Patricia Field worked on the costumes of the characters, who are given a lot of attention in the film. Previously, she was responsible for the style of the heroines in the series "Sex and the City". About a million dollars had to be spent on clothes in "The Devil Wears Prada", which made the film one of the most expensive in this indicator.
According to the plot, a young journalist Andrea, played by Anne Hathaway, is looking for a job in New York and gets into the fashion magazine "Podium" for an interview. The lack of style and knowledge in the world of fashion did not prevent her from getting the position of junior assistant, which began her career in the industry. Throughout the film, Andrea faces many difficulties not only at work, but also in her personal life. Her boyfriend Nate (Adrian Grinyer) throughout the film shows dissatisfaction with the developing career of his girlfriend, for which fans of the film will later call him "the main devil in Prada." and will come to the conclusion that for Andrea it was a toxic relationship.
