The Devil Wears Prada 2: A Fashionable Sequel with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway
The sequel to the beloved 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, is on the horizon, with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reprising their roles. In a conversation with Vogue Korea, the actresses reminisced about the original movie and shared insights into The Devil Wears Prada 2. When asked about the release year of the first film, Hathaway mentioned 2006, prompting a playful exchange with IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, who humorously revealed she was only two years old at the time.
Despite facing initial challenges in securing funding for the first Devil Wears Prada due to industry perceptions of it as a "chick flick," the movie went on to achieve global success, grossing over $326 million worldwide. Streep highlighted the shift in attitudes towards female-led stories in Hollywood, citing the success of films like Barbie and Mamma Mia! as evidence that audiences are drawn to narratives centered around women.
In contrast to the budget constraints of the original film, Streep revealed that The Devil Wears Prada 2 had ample financial backing, indicating a more robust production budget. The highly anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 1, promising to continue the legacy of the iconic fashion-centric franchise.
