The Devil Wears Prada 2

Credit is due to returning director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, who have resisted the steadfast demand for a follow-up for 20 years, insisting that they would revisit ‘Runway’ only when the right story presented itself. Instead of falling back on the same themes of the first film entirely, they move the story forward into the tumultuous landscape of journalism today. Andy, now an award-winning reporter, becomes a casualty of cutbacks at her publication. At the same time, Miranda is accidentally embroiled in a sweatshop scandal through a story she commissioned, and so her one-time underling is brought in by higher powers to rescue the magazine’s editorial reputation. Upon arrival, Andy discovers that budgets have dwindled, words like “engagement” and “digital” dominate meeting rooms, and perhaps worst of all, Miranda must pander to advertisers — well, one in particular: scorned former assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), who now holds a senior role at Dior.
