Sorry but The Devil Wears Prada 2 (20th Century, 5.1) is going to underwhelm. Such is the fate of nearly all sequels, excepting The Godfather Part II, T2: Judgment Day and…which others?
It;s obviously some kind of old-giving-way-to-the-new, passing-of-the-fashion-industry-torch saga. Meryl Streep‘s aging Miranda Priestly coping with the oppresive dynamics of a changing media landscape (digital overtaking print) as Anne Hathaway‘s Andy Sachs, now features editor at Runway, and Emily Blunt‘s Emily Charlton scheme to further their own ambitions blah blah blah.
The trailer offers one of two unappetizing scenarios — (1) Priestly is suffering from memory loss or perhaps even Alzheimer’s (who wants to watch a great ice-villain swirling downwards?) or (2) she’s playing cheap, petty mind games by pretending (initially at least) not to remember Andy and Emily blah blah blah. Only a frightened and insecure oldster would resort to such a tactic. Tedious either way.
HE is mostly looking forward to the Milan footage, especially after having gotten to know Milan a little bit after last September’s Venice Film Festival. Pic filmed at Milan Fashion Week in late September. Further Milan filming took place between 10.5.25 and 10.18.25.
