We might not be going to Paris, but we are going back into the world of Miranda Priestly as a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is reportedly in the works! According to multiple reports, Disney is currently working on a follow-up to the mega-successful 2006 fashion dramedy starring Anne Hathaway , Meryl Streep , Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci . Puck was first to share the groundbreaking news, while Entertainment Weekly reports that Hathaway, Streep, Blunt and Tucci are all in talks to reprise their roles. EW also shares that the original director, David Frankel, is in talks to helm the project.
On Monday, news first broke that film producer Wendy Finerman is hard at work recruiting the original film's scribe, Aline Brosh McKenna, to pen the script, which will purportedly follow Streep's character near the end of her career and looking to Blunt's character for assistance in the dying magazine business. It's unclear if this is the actual plotline for the film or just one possible scenario. The original movie is an adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 eponymous novel, which follows journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she struggles to keep up as the junior assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine -- an Anna Wintour type, if you will.
Blunt stars as Emily Charlton, Priestly's senior assistant, who is constantly in competition to get a leg up on others at the magazine, while Tucci plays Nigel Kipling, Runway 's art director. Streep was nominated.
