Bring out the high heels and prepare for some fashion drama! Fans of the 2006 cinema classic, The Devil Wears Prada, get ready for some tantalizing news. Rumors have been flying about a potential sequel to the much-beloved movie. This buzz started when original screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna sparked excitement by suggesting she might pen a sequel.
The Potential Sequel – What We Know So Far
So, what’s the scoop? Well, there’s not much to go on yet, but we do know that Wendy Finerman, the producer behind the first film, is behind the follow-up endeavour too. While there’s no final word about the cast or plot, fingers crossed that this sequel becomes a reality.
Speaking of the cast, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway from the first film recently reunited at the SAG Awards. Nothing spells excitement quite like a reunion and it got fans gleefully speculating about a sequel.
However, things are not set in stone yet. No formal agreements with the original stars have been inked, and Disney – who now owns the original studio Fox 2000 – has remained tight-lipped. Do we smell something brewing, or is it all just smoke?
A Trip Down Memory Lane
If you’re not familiar with The Devil Wears Prada, here’s a quick rundown. Based on a novel by Lauren Weisberger, the film is all about the high fashion world. It shows the journey of a fresh-faced journalism graduate, Andy Sachs, played by the talented Anne Hathaway.
Landing a job as an assistant to the formidable Miranda Priestly (a character inspired by Anna Wintour), played by Meryl Streep, it portrays the intense world of fashion and magazines. Streep even got an Oscar nomination for her role! Blunt played the fellow assistant who helps Andy navigate this chaos. The film was a phenomenal success, raking in a cool $326 million worldwide.
Speculations on the Sequel Plot
With limited official word, the pure speculation leads to even more excitement. One interesting rumor suggests the sequel might see Miranda Priestly, remaining at the helm of Runway magazine, now grappling with financial issues of the modern publishing world. Emily Blunt’s character, previously an assistant, could be seen climbing the corporate ladder to an executive level at a luxe brand conglomerate partnering with Runway.
Nonetheless, not everyone is on the sequel train. While promoting her recent movie, The Idea of You, Anne Hathaway expressed some doubts, telling E!, “I don’t think a continuation of that story is probably ever gonna happen.”
Despite Hathaway’s skepticism, we, as ardent fans of The Devil Wears Prada, choose to remain optimistic. The prospect of getting to see more of Andy, Miranda, and their high fashion antics is too enticing to dismiss.
Bottom Line
Even though it’s all still in the air, the prospect of a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is creating a buzz. Although the cast and plot are yet to be fixed, the anticipation is already high. Mickey Rourke once said, “The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and become somebody else for a while.” Let’s hope we get to lose ourselves once more in the fabulous world of high fashion with the sequel.
So, fashionistas unite, and let’s keep our fingers crossed for official news of The Devil Wears Prada sequel! We hope to update you soon on this potential fashion-filled extravaganza.
