Filming Begins on "The Devil Wears Prada" Sequel

David Frankel's comedy-drama was released in theaters in 2006 and collected an impressive $326 million worldwide against a budget of $35 million. What is known about the sequel?

As Variety reports, the sequel will bring back the original stars – Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. But they're also adding Kenneth Branagh to the mix, who'll play Miranda Priestly's husband. Disney confirmed the Prada sequel news in their own quirky way – by posting a picture of two red heels on their social media.

Plot details are still pretty thin on the ground. Word is that Miranda will be fighting to save her fashion magazine Runway, which is facing closure thanks to the print media crisis. And during this battle, she'll have to face off against her former assistant, played by Blunt, who's now become a powerful executive in the fashion world. As zoomboola.com learned, David Frankel is back in the director's chair, with Aline Brosh McKenna writing the screenplay.

Here at the editorial desk, we think The Devil Wears Prada is one of those movies that just doesn't need a sequel. Nobody was asking for this, so chances are we're looking at another paint-by-numbers follow-up designed to cash in on nostalgia.
