As we advise, Anne Hathaway is now not confirmed to reprise her role as Andy Sachs, though the film's usual producer Wendy Finerman and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are both currently connected, per Diversity. While a million girls would cancel to appear this film, there will not be any launch date as of but.
On the opposite hand, space crucial strategies acquire already been published: The groundbreaking sequel is made up our minds to heart of attention on Miranda, as she faces the decline of the once prosperous magazine publishing change. In actual fact, the handiest one that can bail her out is her historical assistant, Blunt's Emily Charlton, who is now a high-powered executive at a luxurious vogue neighborhood, consistent with Puck.

But she's extremely grateful for how cherished the film mute is, including, “The cause that film felt so special modified into once that we acquire been a crew and we did that work, but if truth be told it's the enjoy that each person pours to it.”
But that's now not all, because the Oscar winner—who reunited with Streep and Blunt at this year's SAG Awards—great that whereas she would per chance well additionally simply now not be ready to chase assist into Andy's Chanel boots, she has a intellectual correct thought what her character is up to all these years later.
“I mediate Andy is in Paris and I mediate that she is writing for an ravishing French females's magazine,” she mentioned to E! Recordsdata in 2022. “I mediate I mediate she's a bunch author and he or she speaks French fluently. And I don't mediate she's married, but she would per chance well need a baby or two. I mediate she's intellectual fab.”
Uncommon regarding the making of the distinctive film? Preserve reading for a slew of in the assist of-the-scenes secrets.
1. The film model of The Devil Wears Prada modified into once in the works sooner than the guide even hit cupboards. The first 100 pages and an account for acquire been adequate to sell Fox executives on the roman-à-clef in accordance with author Lauren Weisberger's brief stint at Vogue as editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's assistant. “I modified into once the first person to learn it at Fox 2000,” the studio's historical executive vice president Carla Hacken told Diversity in 2016. “I believed Miranda Priestly modified into once one of the indispensable ideal villains ever. I keep in mind we aggressively went in and scooped it up.”
The adaption started sooner than The Contemporary York Times bestseller's 2003 launch, but after four writers took a stab at crafting a correct away legend, Aline Brosh McKenna modified into once tasked with increasing a brand new script centered on the sacrifices females acquire to wander up the masthead at vogue magazines. “I wrote a draft intellectual rapid—it took me a pair of month,” McKenna told the outlet. “Then I rewrote it in accordance with everyone's notes.”
2. The lore of Wintour created heaps of difficulties for production. “I had broad anguish discovering anybody in the trend world who'd discuss over with me, on legend of americans acquire been fearful of Anna and Vogue, now not attempting to be blackballed,” McKenna told Leisure Weekly of her study. “There modified into once one one that spoke to me, whose title I will never enlighten, who learn it and mentioned, 'The americans in this film are too good. No one in that world is too good. They don't must be, and they don't acquire time to be.' After that, I did a dawdle to acquire everyone a dinky busier and meaner.”
Wintour's mountainous attain made it complicated to accurate areas, director David Frankel admitted to EW. “The Met Ball supposed that the Metropolitan Museum wanted nothing to develop with us,” he mentioned. Bryant Park—at the time, the long-working save of dwelling of Contemporary York Vogue Week—modified into once out as effectively. “Even these iconic condominium constructions we observed as chances for Miranda's condominium, the co-op boards wouldn't let us in,” he shared. Eventually, they borrowed a five-fable Upper East Facet city condominium from a friend of producer Wendy Finerman.
3. But there modified into once one role they nailed. “The handiest contact we had with Vogue modified into once Jess Gonchor, the production clothier, who snuck into their offices to get a study Anna's office,” Frankel published to EW. “He modified into once ready to re-create the office so authentically that I modified into once told Anna redecorated hers straight after the film got right here out.”
4. The fabric cabinet offered a irregular train as effectively. On the starting save, Frankel told EW, they couldn't convince any vital designers to lend items for the film: “They honest correct didn't are attempting to incur the wrath of Anna.”
Enter legendary costumer Patricia Field, who worked her magic, assembling a lineup of some 150 items from Donna Karan, Zac Posen, Rick Owens and, wander, Prada, taking care to sigh aside Meryl Streep's exacting Miranda Priestly from Wintour. “She borrowed every thing; we had to be very cautious now not to use spaghetti at lunch,” great Streep, “on legend of it'd wander down the entrance and they couldn't return it!”
5. And Wintour has no now not up to a shrimp humorousness regarding the complete train. Streep sat down with the Vogue head for the trend bible's 125th anniversary train, sharing her skills portraying Wintour's unhurried friend Katherine Graham in 2017's The Post. Asked regarding the most tough character she's ever played, Streep spoke back, “Oh! I must train…” trailing off as Wintour jumped in. “No, no!” she mentioned with a laugh. “We're now not going there, Meryl.”
6. And he or she did relieve a screening—the similar one, genuinely, as her historical aide Weisberger. “It modified into once entertainment,” Wintour later told 60 Minutes of the film. “It modified into once now not a apt rendition of what occurs interior this magazine.”
7. Streep modified into once the handiest diagram to play Miranda, with studio VP Hacken admitting to Diversity that they hadn't genuinely judicious any varied actresses. “I don't keep in mind one thing else varied than, 'Please God—let or now not it be Meryl,'” she mentioned. When the Oscar winner's agent phoned saying she had learn the script and would meet with the director, Hacken positioned him on a rapid retain to acquire an very honest correct time. “I modified into once shouting in my office.”
Streep told EW she preferred the character's toughness and resolution now not to acquire herself now not up to: “I cherished that there wasn't any backing a ways from the crude formula of her, and the true upsetting formula of her had to develop with the reality that she didn't are attempting and ingratiate, which is continually the female emollient in any train the save you will deserve to acquire your device—what my friend Carrie Fisher historical to name 'the squeezy and tilty' of all of it. [Miranda] didn't develop any of that.”
8. Ahead of accepting the fragment, Streep made a if truth be told Miranda Priestly-admire wander. Regardless of getting already serene two Oscars and every other 11 nominations by that level, Streep hadn't somewhat mastered the artwork of asking for more pay. But this time, she spoke up. “The offer modified into once, to my mind a dinky of, if now not insulting, now not most definitely reflective of my precise ticket to the venture,” she explained to Diversity. “There modified into once my 'goodbye second,' and then they doubled the offer. I modified into once 55, and I had honest correct learned, at a if truth be told unhurried date, deal on my comprise behalf.”
9. She had varied requires as effectively. Cautious about turning Miranda into a comic strip, Streep insisted on two scenes: What she called “the change of vogue,” whereby the trendsetter schooled Andy on her cerulean sweater, and “a scene the save she is without her armor, the unpeeled scene in the hotel room.”
The white hair modified into once her introduction as effectively, Streep turning up in conjunction with her chilly locks for a take a seat-down with the head of the studio. As director Frankel recalled to EW, “Meryl channeled Miranda in that assembly, and there modified into once no dialog regarding the hair; they looked into Meryl's eyes and never mentioned a observe.”
10. Anne Hathaway had to work more challenging for her fragment than assistant Andy toiled for Miranda. Okay, most doubtless now not that exhausting, but as she establish it in the course of an look on RuPaul's Ride Ride, “I modified into once the ninth replacement for Devil Wears Prada.”
Though Hathaway great to Diversity that she didn't acquire to audition, “I had to be affected person.” And launch a full-blown marketing and marketing campaign that incorporated tracing the phrases “hire me” in the sand of Hacken's zen backyard. When Hathaway at final bought the knowledge, she modified into once in her bedroom inserting on a shirt. “I had some friends over,” she told the outlet. “I keep in mind working out in my living room, half of dressed, screaming—'I bought The Devil Wears Prada! I bought The Devil Wears Prada!'”
11. Fortunately for Hathaway, consultants' first replacement grew to become them down. Over and over. “We equipped it to Rachel McAdams three times,” director Frankel told EW of the actress, then filming Fox's The Family Stone. Coming off Mean Girls and The Notebook, McAdams mentioned she didn't are attempting to dive into every other mainstream flick. Acknowledged Frankel, “The studio modified into once company to acquire her, and he or she modified into once company now not to develop it.”
Streep—and Hathaway's turn in the 2005 Oscar winner Brokeback Mountain—helped seal the deal for The Princess Diaries alum. “Meryl watched that scene from the film,” Frankel recalled, “she met in conjunction with her and called up Tom Rothman at Fox and mentioned, 'Yeah, this girl's broad, and I mediate we'll work effectively together.'”
12. Casting the fragment of Emily modified into once even more work. Frankel watched better than 100 girl audition for the role of Miranda's unforgiving lead assistant (amongst them: Tracie Thoms, who in a roundabout device got right here assist and learn for Andy's bestie Lily), alternatively it modified into once a casually dressed Emily Blunt that caught his look.
Already on the Fox lot auditioning for a fraction in the 2006 legend film Eragon, a casting agent asked the Brit to learn for The Devil Wears Prada. “But I modified into once speeding for the airport, and I keep in mind honest correct being more or less flustered,” Blunt published on The Leisurely Leisurely Masks in Could per chance. “So I learn it, but I modified into once carrying sweatpants, and I didn’t look the fragment the least bit.”
Days later, drowning her sorrows over now not booking Eragon, Blunt bought a name from Frankel. “I modified into once in some dive membership in London,” Blunt detailed to Diversity. “I called him assist from the lavatory. He mentioned, 'Listen I would acquire cast you off the tape, but the studio wants to appear you one more time. Are you able to develop what you most doubtless did but dress the fragment more?'”
13. She already sounded the fragment. Though Emily modified into once originally written as American, once screenwriter McKenna heard Blunt carry the biting one-liners in conjunction with her British accent, “we went to a espresso store, went throughout the script, and peppered it with Britishisms,” McKenna told EW.
And Blunt deserves full credit for one bit she lifted from a wired-out mother. “I wager I rob from americans I meet,” the actress explained on The Howard Stern Masks. “Like, I observed a mother speaking to her child in a grocery store once we acquire been shooting that film. And it's a line that will get quoted assist to me now. She yelled at her child and he or she more or less opened and closed her hand and he or she goes, 'Yeah, I'm hearing this, and I are attempting to hear this.' I went and establish it in the film.”
14. Stanley Tucci also helped craft some iconic lines. After producers spent months having a detect the apt match for Runway artwork director Nigel, the actor permitted the fragment “at the 11th hour,” Tucci told EW. Then he proceeded to nail Nigel's dry humor, even improvising a pair of of the character's most quotable moments.
“I admire the scene when Miranda is first coming up to the office and everyone form of panics,” Tucci reflected to Buzzfeed. “We all kept laughing so exhausting, and David kept throwing out lines for me to bid and 'Gird your loins' modified into once the one that made it in.” Amongst the rejects: “'Knockers in!'” Tucci shared with EW. “That modified into once one I made up, but on every occasion we laughed.”
15. Obviously his favourite memento from the film is his family, Tucci final conclude adequate with costar Blunt to salvage an invite to her 2010 marriage ceremony to John Krasinski. That's the save he reconnected with now-better half Felicity Blunt, he and the literary agent going on to marry in 2012 and welcome young americans Matteo and Emilia.
But as Tucci recounted to People, he genuinely met his future bride at the film's 2006 premiere. On the time he modified into once mute married to unhurried better half Kate Tucci, who'd honest correct bought her breast cancer evaluation. “So I did the film, and he or she started remedies, and then we had the premiere, and then she modified into once alive for four more years after that,” he explained. “And, genuinely, Felicity—Emily's sister, my better half—she and Kate talked at the premiere that evening and I even acquire a photo of them together, which is so phenomenal.”
16. Like Hathaway, Thoms remembers the actual second she bought the name that she'd be playing Lily, largely on legend of it came about on her thirtieth birthday in August 2005. The Rent megastar felt somewhat assured in her audition—”At that level in my profession, I had more or less slipped into this handiest friend role. So I modified into once admire, 'Oh, Lily's easy. That's apt in my wheelhouse'”—but modified into once mute extremely elated when she bought observe.
“I modified into once in Dartmouth doing a workshop of a brand new play by Alan Ball,” she recalled to E! Recordsdata. And it modified into once in the cafeteria, over lunch, that she bought the knowledge. “It modified into once admire, 'Hiya, so that you just booked Devil Wears Prada. Overjoyed birthday!'” she shared. “It modified into once a correct birthday memory.”
17. Thoms also remembers staring at Adrian Grenier—then at the height of his Entourage status—getting mobbed by fans and deftly facing each and every ask for an autograph by handing out copies of his alt-americans band The Honey Brothers' CD as a change. “He modified into once using that replacement to promote his band participants, on legend of he modified into once now not the frontman of the band,” Thoms great of Grenier, cast as Andy's boyfriend Nate. “I believed that modified into once if truth be told broad how he dealt with everyone very particularly and preferred their beef up, and tried to ricochet that beef up onto his colleagues.”
18. While Thoms had an altogether impossible skills—”We acquire been all admire, 'Oh my god, it's admire we're doing Intercourse and the City.' We weren't, alternatively it mute had that very Contemporary York, very metropolitan, very attempting to be grownup train about it”—she does acquire one regret.
She had a full thought for the Marc Jacobs gather that Lily (and Thoms) salivated over in one key scene. “I asked the prop department to now not masks me the purse sooner than we acquire been rolling, on legend of I needed the reaction to be precise,” she mentioned. “That, admire, gasping and grabbing and 'Gimme, gimme!', that came about on legend of that purse modified into once aesthetic.”
So aesthetic, genuinely, “I had a full space in my mind on tackle the purse,” she admitted to E! Recordsdata. “After which the scene the save I modified into once going to somehow neglect to wander away the purse in my trailer, that scene bought cut. So I never went assist to work to get the purse. It modified into once very sad.”
19. Streep modified into once the girl who didn't wander to Paris. On the starting save no one modified into once role to chat about with the City of Gentle to seize footage for the final scenes of Miranda and Andy's broad commute to Paris Vogue Week. “I modified into once aghast,” Frankel told Diversity. But midway through production he modified into once ready to avoid wasting together a sizzle reel that convinced the studio to acquire the film a summer launch with an elevated finances.
Hathaway and Simon Baker (as her varied enjoy hobby, author Christian) flew to France for 2 days of shooting, but Streep filmed her parts in Contemporary York, the studio claiming her lunge would per chance well be considerable too dear.
20. In actual fact, Streep passed over out on so much of the fun. Making the diagram to utterly step into her Miranda demeanor and largely steal away herself from any on-role banter “modified into once crude,” the actress later reflected to EW. “I would per chance well hear all of them rocking and laughing. I modified into once so dreadful! I mentioned, 'Smartly, it's the cost you pay for being boss!' That's the final time I ever attempted a Manner train!”
But sooner than Streep went ice chilly, she gave the briefest of pep talks, Hathaway recalled to People, saying, “I need you to take grasp of I mediate you're going to be broad, and I'm so happy to work with you…and that's the final good train I'm going to bid to you.”
That's all.
