Alright, fashion lovers and movie buffs, brace yourselves for a comeback you never saw coming! Nearly two decades later, the official filming of the sequel to the cult classic “The Devil Wears Prada” has begun! Yes, you read that right – Miranda Priestly, the ruthless queen of fashion, is back in full force, and with her comes Andy Sachs, the ambitious journalist who once survived the hell of working for her.
Starring once again are Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, joined by Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, meaning the original cast is back together! And wait, there’s more – British actor and director Kenneth Branagh is joining the cast as Miranda’s husband. Could this mean we’ll finally get a peek into the private life of this fashion tyrant?
The filming was officially confirmed by 20th Century Studios, who teased fans on Instagram with a short clip featuring the iconic red heels – the symbol of power and pain in the high fashion world. The story will focus on Miranda battling the decline of print media’s influence, while her former assistant, now a high-ranking director of a luxury fashion conglomerate, becomes her rival. Sounds like a recipe for drama, right?
The original 2006 film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, was partly inspired by the real-life experiences of Anna Wintour, the legendary Vogue editor who just recently announced her retirement after 37 years. Will the sequel be a tribute or a sharp critique of the changing fashion industry?
David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, the original film’s director and screenwriter, are back at the helm, promising to keep the spirit of the first movie alive. The premiere is set for May 1st next year, and expectations are sky-high – because who doesn’t love watching power and ambition clash in a world where red heels are weapons?
If you thought fashion was just a shallow game, think again. “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is here to remind us that it’s a battlefield, and Miranda Priestly is still the general. So, are you ready to step back into a world where style is law and emotions are a luxury not shown? Drop a comment, tell us your favorite character, and whether you think the sequel will live up to the legend!
