‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel in the Works at Disney with Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna in Talks to Return

Who asked for this?

[quote]Who asked for this?

Grace, Mamie, and Louisa, hoping for big parts.

Don't bother unless all of the original actors sign on.

It's Disney in the 2020s, so it's bound to be very 'woke' and humorless, unlike the first one.

Exactly, r4. Disney sucks now.

If it's not the same actors, HARD PASS.

Does Merril even do sequels?

R6 Agree

Probably going to be a giant girlboss celebration that justifies Miranda’s behaviour.

No thank you.

I don't think Streep, Hathaway or Blunt would be stupid/greedy enough to star in a cash grab sequel. None of those women are washed up.

Am I the only one who is sick of Meryl Streep?

You really do have to wonder if the writers strike was worth it if all they've got left creatively is sequels and reboots.

R11. I think they'll do it if the script is good and the money is right.

In the sequel does Miranda pander to the lowest common denominator, destroying the last shreds of her reputation while she desperately hangs on? Will there be roles for Cardi B and the Kardashians?

I don’t know why, but Meryl’s quiet voice and controlled delivery put me on edge. I’d rather her character been a little more alive.

If Meryl won't do it, I will. I'm good at stepping in and can even do the musical once we're done shooting.

I beg you.

R12, no.

No, you are not.

Big mistake, as most sequels are—unless they are part of an epic story, like Tolkien or The Godfather (though Part III was unnecessary . What was unique and enjoyable one time, seems like a poor copy a second time, even if the same principals return.

This has all the promise and hope of Grease 2 written all over it!

Never forget - She's also now Mark Ronson's Mother-in-law. Expect a meticulously curated soundtrack.

R20 Like Grease 2, maybe they can get Lorna Luft for this film, taking over for Stsnley Tucci who wisely avoids this project.

Of course M is doing it. What’s the point without her?

OP, this should’ve been a poll. Step aside, and let me pose the REAL question:

“When Meryl passes on the TDWP sequel, which washed-up Boomer icon will take her place?”

A) Diane Keaton

B) Candy Bergen

C) Melanie Griffith

D) Siggy Weaver

E) Kathy Bates

F) Sally Field

G) Wild Card - Alfre Woodard, Rene Russo, or Bruce Vilanch

In the world of Hollywood sequels, cunts NEVER retire. And on tv Oleebia gon be catching rapists in her mid 60s.

R7, Yes.

[quote]Don't bother unless all of the original actors sign on.

But, this cast will cater to a more contemporary audience - the all-black cast will highlight the female empowerment movement in a most entertaining, yet, forceful, manner.

Martin Short can be Niles 2.0 what with the original Niles dying of the AIDS and all.

R28, Who's Niles?

Whoever the fuck Tucci played R29.

I believe he meant Nigel.

I don't know how they'll fit Anne in. Is she going to do an expose' on working for MP like she wrote about the janitors for her college newspaper? Will Adrian Grenier come back as the executive chef at Le Bernadin?

R24 HELL-OH!

Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really.

R24 Jessica Lange or Rene Russo

R4 The Devil Wears Apple Bottom Jeans

I hated absolutely hated that character.

R35 a homosexual with a staunch opinion about pop culture… groundbreaking.

Jessica Lange would never take Meryl’s leftover scraps, R33.

R37, are you sure about that?

That’s not taking over a role that Meryl famously played and nominated for an Oscar, R38.

Lange accepting the lead role for The Great Lillian Hall is no different than Bette Davis accepting to play Margo Channing in All About Eve when Claudette Colbert passed on the role.

Maybe Miranda's in the home. The Devil Wears Stretchie Pants.

M would never do a sequel for money???

Unless I'm mistaken, the first Mama Mia is not considered a modern classic. Streep wasn't destroying people's memories of a great first movie when she came back for the sequel. It was a stupid movie with a stupid sequel.

Devil Wears Prada really IS Meryl’s only classic movie, isn’t it.

They never got Miranda Priestly's look right. Meryl didn't look or dress like a fashion editor in chief in The Devil Wears Prada. She looked like a Nordstom's buyer at best. I did like her performance though.

Rumor has it it's going to be about the demise of print magazines.

R44 She did to, you dumb whore.

Angela Bassett IS Miranda Priestly.

R27 you are so annoying.

Hathaway and Blunt are both taking whatever pays the bills, so they’ll be in this.

I hate the constant sequel, spinning off and remake trend, but in this case this was based on a lousy book and significantly improved the source material, so if they get a good script it could work.

R47 I mop the floor with that bitch!

The Devil Wears Depends.

[quote][R47] I mop the floor with that bitch! —Jada, again smelling an Oscar

Miranda is not bald.

They’ll end up casting Vanessa Williams instead of Meryl Streep.

I wouldn't mind seeing that R54. Vanessa was excellent on Ugly Betty. She plays snobby villianess very well.

Isn’t Meryl a little long in the tooth for this? I can’t imagine any of the characters being in the same situation over 20 years later.

At least we know they won’t be phoning Adrian Grenier.

[quote]the next chapter, which reportedly follows Miranda navigating her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing

I know! She gets fired and then becomes the special consultant to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art!!

[quote] I can’t imagine any of the characters being in the same situation over 20 years later.

Except, of course, for Anna Wintour.

Wintour is 74 and Streep is 75

They need an Andre Leon Talley character. What's Tituss Burgess doing these days?

They could do a sequel where this self-involved old clam spends a day stuck around normal Americans with ACTUAL problems. Like “A Christmas Carol,” only she won’t wake up alive at the end.

Bitch, no one cares about your Givenchy clutch or which shade of cerulean is “in” this year. You’re not a leader on anything that matters in life. You’ve wasted your career on something utterly pointless.

Yeah, I guess, R58. But for a movie, that seems kind of static. Films need forward momentum.

I suspect it’ll mostly focus on Hathaway and Blunt and Meryl will be more like a Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again kind of cameo. I’ll bet she doesn’t appear until the 2nd hour of the film.

Maybe they could have Hathaway’s character do a big expose on child labour and fast fashion and she calls on Emily & Miranda to help her go undercover - and arrest Jacqueline Follet!!

What will we do with Andrea? Twenty years later she’s just going to be even more fat!
