Here’s what we know about the reported sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Is It Officially Happening?!
There has been no official announcement from the studio yet. But according to Puck, the sequel would center on the challenges faced by print media in the 21st century. However, the sequel will not star Anne Hathaway. The plot is one of the very reasons Hathaway has expressed reservations about the project.
“I just think that movie was in a different era. Everything has gone so digital, and that movie centered around the concept of producing a physical thing,” said the actress. Even so, Hathaway agreed that it’s “tempting to think about Andy and Emily needing to get Miranda her coffee, and she’s somewhere in Europe, and then along the way they pick up Stanley Tucci in Italy.”
