@@ma41n_ thats 100% not true a vast majority of actors are definitely not rich and often just scraping by. Some (not all) of the major popular actors do get to come into money once they succeed enough times to have a popularity or awards bait bargaining chip but most actors are not those actors, most actors are career actors playing background characters in law & order and getting supporting roles in their friends low budget indie film while struggling to pay rent. Even actors you like in big shows dont have as much money as you think, its just that the rich ones really get talked about.

My favorite detail about the ending is when we see Andy in her final outfit. Stylish, sleek, yet simple, and it's a symbol that Andy was no longer a fashionista but a more mature version of herself. She no longer felt the need to over-dress but understood the power of what one puts on their back. She wanted to be something, and her time at Runway taught her to dress for it.
The ending didn't sit right with a lot of people. Her going back to her controlling boyfriend and messing up another job interview after leaving her boss high and dry is a bit disconcerting

Yeah like no one wants remakes, reboots or sequels of already good movies (or shows for that matter) unless it's a pre planned trilogy or something. The only time I personally find it acceptable otherwise is if they take a movie with a mediocre or bad execution and make it good but that's rarely the case nowadays.
i'll be honest, the only remake i want "to appeal to modern sensibilities" is sabrina 1954, the only other remake it had was in 1995 which was just as good. i really hope to see someone to pick this us and make it oscar worthy.

The movie's ending is so effective because it's so subtle. In the car, Miranda commends Andy for her ability to "look beyond what people want and choose for herself", and then a minute later, Andy does exactly that: she looks beyond what Miranda wants (i.e. a competent assistant for Paris fashion week), and chooses for herself. And instead of going "wait, no, not like that", Miranda ends up respecting her decision and they part as equals. It's such a complete and satisfying payoff to their relationship, I can't imagine any follow-up to feel like anything other than contrived.

Ngl, when I did a rewatch of Devil wears Prada… it did cross my mind that Runway would have trouble in the future since magazines no longer sell like they used to… then again Vogue is still relevant due to them fully embracing UA-cam and social media.
Here’s the thing about bringing back the original writer and director… while it may sound awesome in theory, it often turns out that while the first movie was a labor of love and passion, because the writer has to fight to get the script approve etc. this time around the studio is reaching out to them because it looks good on paper and gives the fans hope, but the quality may not live up to the OG because this time around those people are not interested in telling that story.
I don't get why people call Devil wears Prada a "Romcom". Having romance doesn't mean that that is the main purpose of the movie. It is a story about making a deal with the devil, corporate culture and (somewhat) an "analysis" about what use to happen when a woman seeks a great carreer and "puts aside" their personal life/relationships.
The main character is a woman so it has to be a romcom 🙄 it's not a romcom at all, her relationship is barely relevant to the plot. When an action hero has a love interest the movie doesn't become a romcom
@@radhiadeedou8286 the scenes her petty boyfriend could have been left out and the movie would have still moved on. All Andy would need to do is just mention here and there about the struggles she had with off screen boyfriend that we see once to establish that he exist.

I was just rewatching Devil Wears Prada yesterday and also rewatching your style analysis before just finding out of a sequel release so this is perfect timing haha
the idea of a sequel to this film is a bit baffling tbh. part of the appeal of the story and miranda priestly's character is her hidden layers. a lot of what we learn about miranda is completely by accident but it makes her so much more compelling. she has a mystique and represents this almost untouchable figure but as we find out more we see the cracks in the mask she puts on. I think unless it was an origin story, I feel like a sequel would flatten her character.
I'm sincerely hoping that the reason the original actors signed on to do the sequel after they said it was unnecessary is a sign that the script they were given was so incredible that they believe it could work and it has a story worth telling
I wonder if there's a joke to be made about people who grew up writing fanfiction about and like a fraction of them are now in the film industry, so we're getting everyone's fanfiction that was "this but to the left" 😂😂😂😂😂
I always thought it would be difficult to sell a sequel because of how bleak the current news media landscape is, affecting both Miranda and Andy’s careers. I also think with how much the fashion industry has changed with social media that the public wouldn’t have the same fascination/awe that the first movie brings.
This is completely unrelated: Anna Wintour is a HUGE tennis fan, and I used to work at the club she played at. Anna booked the club an hour before it technically opens, so she'd have the place to herself. The day before, my boss, Jen B., told me NOT to look or talk to her; as if that woman and I were completely different species. I was very young... 24 at the time. But that didn't feel right to me. So, the morning comes, I'm at the desk, and I see her walking up the stairs as she enters, in her signature glasses. I look DIRECTLY at her, inviting, and she takes off her glasses. I say, "Good morning!" and she says firmly, but cordially, "Good morning." The way she said it to me almost felt like she was saying, "FINALLY. Someone with a backbone". I was lucky to man the desk at that time, because the person who usually did was out sick.
I would like to point out how this channel points out the legitimacy of fashion. I believe whole heartedly that no matter what you wear, it is a reflection to a degree of your psychological state and identity. This channel has given such validation to why fashion is an important part of every single person's lives, from using it to sell a story in costuming or analyzing time period trends. Fashion is a way that we either consciously or even unconsciously identify ourselves as a part of a group of people we identify with as well as offers cues to what we are going through (there's a reason costume designers have a job). This channel has done such a good job in breaking down fashion to the point where I ask myself what message m y clothes convey everyday, as if I would be featured on this channel. It's more than 'looking' a certain way, its about identifying the underlying themes we see in an outfit- much more meaningful than football, in my opinion (I'm also a guy)
I'm tired of gringas bringing up "ugly betty" as inspired of the devil wears prada. Yo soy Betty la fea debuted on Colombian tv stations in 1999, ugly betty was an American adaptation from that telenovela.
the ugly betty telenovela was not set at a magazine, it was a clothing company. they changed it when adapting it for american audiences BECAUSE of the popularity of the devil wears prada
Seriously, rewatch the pilot and tell me it's not a Devil Wears Prada beat by beat. Even Suddenly I See is used at the end ! Plus the ending shot, same as the movie ! "Are you the Before" ! The poncho ! Fey Sommers ! The dog walking in the busy streets ! Wilhelmina Slater ! (hilarious to see Vanessa Williams reprising the Miranda Priestley role in Broadway btw) I mean, come on !
Doesn't Merryl Streep not do sequels? I heard that somewhere as that's the reason why her role was cut down to just a cameo in Mamma Mia 2. If Merryl doesn't sign on for the sequel, will it really be that good?
This film never needs a sequel, it only ends there and thats it. But I would be interested at a prequel somehow at how Miranda became the woman she is but I guess that trope is so predictable it would just be Cruella and we already know who Miranda is 🤷♂️
In the book, Miranda came from a huge lower class family and saved up small amounts of money her older siblings were able to treat her with, and started her career at 17, running off to be an assistant to an important fashion magazine person just a few months before she was supposed to graduate highschool. She also schooled herself out of a "lowbrow" accent and taught herself french. Imo, if they ever do a prequel, it would be smart to focus on how ballsy she is (and how loving her family probably was, and supportive) instead of how cutthroat she can be. (in the book she also changed her name slightly to sound more posh but eh I didn't like that tbh.
@@lulupomegranate Devil wears prada has been on Disney plus for a while now, I guarantee they see that it's very white and they wa t to fix that for their diverse image. I bet you the new assistant will be black
It could NEVER live up to the original film and viewers will left disappointed. They ought to focus their creativity on something new and interesting if they want to make another fashion movie. There is so so much they could do
If done right I could see it being successful, but the one thing that kinda bothers me is what could they possibly add without it coming off as just another cash grab of a beloved movie. I mean we all know what happened with Andy, Emily, and Miranda in the original movie, but what else do we need?
Andy is in a middle position in her career but is failing to progress further as she isn't willing/allowed to put in the hours and acts too much on her own whom. Emily is still in the same job because she lacks the talent to progress. Miranda is still in her job. Her kids want little to do with her as she wasn't around much but enjoy being socialites. Nigel finally left to have time to start a family and does marketing for an NGO. Premise is Miranda hires Andy to consult on a project and Andy learns to play the game and ditches her controlling husband.
i don't care about the sequel but i am intrigued about the musical which stars vanessa williams as miranda priestly. she has played a magazine exec before in ugly betty so she has that role down pat !
True foe sequels being cashgrabs, except Cinderella, which needed that serious live action version and they really delivered. The story telling aspect is what makes it feel genuine and real. Love how marvelously whimsical Helena is in that, god what an actor.
Leave the Devil Wears Prada alone. The movie and story is perfect. If they do hash out a sequel, I will purse my lips, ignore its existence, and happily rewatch the original for the millionth time.
While the sequel plot synopsis, examining the downfall of traditional magazine etc. sounds really topical and interesting, there’s no reason it has to be THIS IP. The need to revisit every story for a modern update is suffocating and shows that studios are unable to craft new narratives and characters. Relying on characters we already know often feels like a way to shortcut writing new stories with nuanced personalities.
To your point, my partner, a camo, hunting, give me a Vin Diesel action movie guy, loved Devil, like still watches one a year. I watch for the fashion and story, he watches for the BA boss that pushes her employee to pick a lane. Would he hang out with Miranda? NO, but he sees how she is a driver for Andy to push through the wishy washiness of her life.
The devil wears Prada is responsible for two things: my respect and admiration to fashion industry and my unhealthy lore to Meryl Streep as a actor, i remember as a young kid in 2006 the massive sensation it caused I remember it first premiering on VOD me and my entire family watched it and I loved it instantly. For a boring and bland fashion dresser, it’s responsible for why I take clothing and sense of style more serious, and as for Meryl, this is the movie that I believe not only cemented Meryl as the greatest actress of all time but the greatest actor of all time PERIOD go argue with the wall or your grandma,
The problem with the Devil Wears Prada sequel is that Miranda would immediately be running that shit. Her career would not be hurtling into the ground this badly, because she’d be the first to sell out due to the latest trends. That or her magazine would end up going the way of Limited Too, where nostalgia practically shuts out the future. Hell, A NEWSLETTER.
@@lulupomegranate I think the worst-case scenario would be that she runs a Limited Too-esque magazine, where it’s still chugging anyway as if she were never canceled, just hiding. *“Everything’s fine!”* ala Anna Wintour supporting a Nazi designer and still existing despite her abuse.
I’d watch it, I’d probably love it, but it would also kinda feel like when they made Mean Girls 2, same actors or not. A cash grab clutching onto the fact that the original is such a classic
I saw the Devil wears Prada in the cinema for my tenth birthday, and I loved it. We didn’t have a cinema near my house as a kid so it required a day trip to Dublin City, making cinema trips rare. It has a special place in my heart for that reason, it’s one of my comfort movies that I have watched an uncountable amount of times. I don’t even know if I will bother with the sequel, the ending of the original is perfect and I don’t want to ruin it.
I mean, we also got nostalgia glasses. The original isn't perfect. They try to prove the boyfriend right, since they seem on the way to get back together at the end, but most of the audience hates him.
Honestly I am glad they are not doing it, because the sequel book was shit. Andy was obnoxious through the whole thing and she didn't even GET or DO anything. It was just her whining, being quirky by demanding ShakeShack, making one bad decision after another and ending up a divorced single mom lapping up attention of an ex boyfriend.
I’m not gonna lie tho I’m excited and scared. I feel like cus of the actresses in this they not gonna be in just anything. If it’s ass I feel like they would leave or tell them to correct their wrongs. I have hope so I’m not gonna say much yet
I love your take on things bc it’s always a different pov from mine, I do think your personal jaded past is the root of the current sentiment to this sequel lol. I think it could work and it could be fun and I’m hoping that they (the cast) have a say so in the story and the direction of the aftermath for this film. But I also don’t expect this to be better than the OG for many reason but mostly bc of the time in MY life this came out and I watched it back then. I was a young girl watching the hills and my desires went from flip-phones, hollister tank tops and a&f jean skirts to Valentino shoes and Dior dresses, a MacBook and a sidekick; with Starbucks remaining through it all lol.
The sad thing nowadays in Hollywood. Many will sell their artistic integrity for a bigger paycheck. Sidney Poitier said it best “it’s not what you say yes too, but what you say no too”
i don't want this sequel but i have a feeling it's going to have a very funny sequel name (like 2 fast 2 furious) though that's the only good that could come from this
There’s actually a musical adaption of The Devil Wears Prada (with music by Elton John) about to premier on the West End. I’d _much_ rather see that than a sequel.
Wow love your vid on this sequel news. 7:29 "Is a fashion show saving world hunger? No. But neither is football" 😂😂 I could give you many snaps for that, so true.
like u already have this critique vid out on the sequel and its just pre production. ur film critique will be out within 24 hours of the film release. its video material sister!
Working as a fashion editor for one of the biggest international titles in the industry, I have to say that the story for the sequel definitely feels worth telling. Advertising has always been the main pillar of our universe and this potential sequel will definitely give perspective to that. A lot of people want to work for magazines thinking they will live "The Devil Wears Prada" lifestyle, but so much has changed since then. Although I do think a sequel, showing Miranda in harsh conditions, could 'end' the fairytale aspect of the story, it could also help shed light to the publishing world's current situation. Having said that, I'm torn between wishing or not for this sequel, but am most towards 'yes'.
Okay, that mention about the trickle down of Fuchsia into fashion trends explains why I've seen it in the men's section recently when clothes shopping at JCPenney
I remember hearing someone (Matt Damon, maybe?) talk about how streaming is the cause of all these sequels and franchises. Used to be that even if your movie bombed in theaters, it would likely eventually make up sales later on in VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. It might take years, but it was likely to happen eventually as small groups of people chatted about it or someone came across it in a store. But Netflix isn’t paying big money to have a little movie that didn’t find its audience to be on their service-they want it tossed in for a few pennies-a fraction of the total income of physical media. Sure, it’s less expensive to make them, but not by enough that they aren’t making a profit over time. Stores don’t want to take a loss on physical media; they’ll put it in a discount bin rather than chuck it. Netflix only pays big money for big films that will draw people to sign up; no skin off their teeth if they don’t renew rights on a little film. So small films that aren’t based on an existing IP with an existing audience are riskier to make these days. Unless you’re a company like A24 that is drawing in audiences to new projects based on brand loyalty (like Miramax did in the 90s), there’s a lot of risk involved in the current movie model. I’m really curious to see what happens when audiences get so burned out on sequels that they stop spending money-that’s honestly the only way we’re getting out of this franchise mess.
If Law Roach is not the stylist on the sequel I am going to….. I was going to say i was going to set something on fire but I will probably just not watch the movie.
We don't need any of these remakes and sequels. Hollywood is lazy, unimaginative and boring. They just say "hey, that movie made us money 20 years ago. These idiots love nostalgia, let's try that again." And it always is terrible. They are so bad they actually make the original look worse.
Could you please do a style analysis on the film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. It has such amazing costume design that it’s honestly on the same level as The Devil Wears Prada and I’m not even lying about that.
Personally, I don’t want to see a sequel. However, follow me. I would like to see a prequel that’s in a more dramatic tone as to what made Miranda who she is
Hollywood is so desperate right now. Constant live actions, reboots, and sequels. I feel like Hollywood is losing hope on making money with original content. This is what they’re doing now and it’s super annoying. 🙄

Here’s the thing about bringing back the original writer and director… while it may sound awesome in theory, it often turns out that while the first movie was a labor of love and passion, because the writer has to fight to get the script approve etc. this time around the studio is reaching out to them because it looks good on paper and gives the fans hope, but the quality may not live up to the OG because this time around those people are not interested in telling that story.
How did you write this script and edit this video so quickly omg you’re amazing
They simply love what they do and I love them for that.. go moderngurlz!
I almost scoffed when you said The Devil Wears Prada was a romantic comedy until I realized the romance was between Andy and Miranda.
I don't get why people call Devil wears Prada a "Romcom". Having romance doesn't mean that that is the main purpose of the movie. It is a story about making a deal with the devil, corporate culture and (somewhat) an "analysis" about what use to happen when a woman seeks a great carreer and "puts aside" their personal life/relationships.
The main character is a woman so it has to be a romcom 🙄 it's not a romcom at all, her relationship is barely relevant to the plot. When an action hero has a love interest the movie doesn't become a romcom
@@radhiadeedou8286 the scenes her petty boyfriend could have been left out and the movie would have still moved on. All Andy would need to do is just mention here and there about the struggles she had with off screen boyfriend that we see once to establish that he exist.
The movie is literally ANTI-ROMCOM. It portrays romance and relationships as a distraction in gaining success in a woman's career
It's a chick flick not romcom
I’m too traumatized from reading the sequel the original author wrote! Good lord it was WRETCHED 😅
Oh my lord, PLEASE share the tea, be the paragraph guy, pretty please????
there was a sequel to the novel?! I had no idea
I haven't read the first book, just the second and agree!!! Id like to watch a sequel to the first movie but only if its not an adaption to the 2nd book.
You cannot just drop a comment like that and not give details! Spill!!
@@Stolisms SPOILERS....
-Andy and Emily are friends and own an up and coming magazine (which I do like the idea of).
-Andy marries and has a baby with a successful publishing heir.
-Andy hems and haws and has communications problems with her husband for too many chapters while dealing with post Miranda trauma.
-Andy is unnecessarily uncomfortable around Nigel and Christian.
-Emily obsessively fauns over Miranda.
-Emily and Andy's husband team up to sell their company to Runway behind Andy's back
-A lot of people lose their jobs and Andy gets back with Alex.
With Moana 2, that Mufasa prequel, Toy Story 5, the live action remakes of Snow White and Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia 2, Freaky Friday 2, Frozen 3 and 4, Avatar 3, 4, and 5, and now the Devil Wears Prada 2, Disney’s REALLY scrapping at the bottom of the barrel to make anything, aren’t they?
I was just rewatching Devil Wears Prada yesterday and also rewatching your style analysis before just finding out of a sequel release so this is perfect timing haha
the idea of a sequel to this film is a bit baffling tbh. part of the appeal of the story and miranda priestly's character is her hidden layers. a lot of what we learn about miranda is completely by accident but it makes her so much more compelling. she has a mystique and represents this almost untouchable figure but as we find out more we see the cracks in the mask she puts on. I think unless it was an origin story, I feel like a sequel would flatten her character.
Disney is making it? Enough said, it's going to be crap.
I'm sincerely hoping that the reason the original actors signed on to do the sequel after they said it was unnecessary is a sign that the script they were given was so incredible that they believe it could work and it has a story worth telling
We really don’t need one. The first movie is more than enough as a classic.
I wonder if there's a joke to be made about people who grew up writing fanfiction about and like a fraction of them are now in the film industry, so we're getting everyone's fanfiction that was "this but to the left" 😂😂😂😂😂
I always thought it would be difficult to sell a sequel because of how bleak the current news media landscape is, affecting both Miranda and Andy’s careers. I also think with how much the fashion industry has changed with social media that the public wouldn’t have the same fascination/awe that the first movie brings.
This is completely unrelated:
Anna Wintour is a HUGE tennis fan, and I used to work at the club she played at. Anna booked the club an hour before it technically opens, so she'd have the place to herself.
The day before, my boss, Jen B., told me NOT to look or talk to her; as if that woman and I were completely different species.
I was very young... 24 at the time. But that didn't feel right to me.
So, the morning comes, I'm at the desk, and I see her walking up the stairs as she enters, in her signature glasses. I look DIRECTLY at her, inviting, and she takes off her glasses. I say, "Good morning!" and she says firmly, but cordially, "Good morning." The way she said it to me almost felt like she was saying, "FINALLY. Someone with a backbone".
I was lucky to man the desk at that time, because the person who usually did was out sick.
I would like to point out how this channel points out the legitimacy of fashion. I believe whole heartedly that no matter what you wear, it is a reflection to a degree of your psychological state and identity. This channel has given such validation to why fashion is an important part of every single person's lives, from using it to sell a story in costuming or analyzing time period trends. Fashion is a way that we either consciously or even unconsciously identify ourselves as a part of a group of people we identify with as well as offers cues to what we are going through (there's a reason costume designers have a job). This channel has done such a good job in breaking down fashion to the point where I ask myself what message m y clothes convey everyday, as if I would be featured on this channel. It's more than 'looking' a certain way, its about identifying the underlying themes we see in an outfit- much more meaningful than football, in my opinion (I'm also a guy)
I'm tired of gringas bringing up "ugly betty" as inspired of the devil wears prada. Yo soy Betty la fea debuted on Colombian tv stations in 1999, ugly betty was an American adaptation from that telenovela.
the ugly betty telenovela was not set at a magazine, it was a clothing company. they changed it when adapting it for american audiences BECAUSE of the popularity of the devil wears prada
Seriously, rewatch the pilot and tell me it's not a Devil Wears Prada beat by beat. Even Suddenly I See is used at the end ! Plus the ending shot, same as the movie ! "Are you the Before" ! The poncho ! Fey Sommers ! The dog walking in the busy streets ! Wilhelmina Slater ! (hilarious to see Vanessa Williams reprising the Miranda Priestley role in Broadway btw) I mean, come on !
I always sign and it’s just like…studios are allowed to say no, they can still have a lot of money either way.
Doesn't Merryl Streep not do sequels? I heard that somewhere as that's the reason why her role was cut down to just a cameo in Mamma Mia 2.
If Merryl doesn't sign on for the sequel, will it really be that good?
This film never needs a sequel, it only ends there and thats it. But I would be interested at a prequel somehow at how Miranda became the woman she is but I guess that trope is so predictable it would just be Cruella and we already know who Miranda is 🤷♂️
In the book, Miranda came from a huge lower class family and saved up small amounts of money her older siblings were able to treat her with, and started her career at 17, running off to be an assistant to an important fashion magazine person just a few months before she was supposed to graduate highschool. She also schooled herself out of a "lowbrow" accent and taught herself french. Imo, if they ever do a prequel, it would be smart to focus on how ballsy she is (and how loving her family probably was, and supportive) instead of how cutthroat she can be.
(in the book she also changed her name slightly to sound more posh but eh I didn't like that tbh.
@@lulupomegranate If there was a prequel, Meryl’s daughter , Mamie Gumer, could be the best bet (since she is also acting)
They are doing a sequel because the original movie is very white. There's only 1 person of color that's a side character in the movie.
@@Horsemanpig that makes zero sense
@@lulupomegranate Devil wears prada has been on Disney plus for a while now, I guarantee they see that it's very white and they wa t to fix that for their diverse image. I bet you the new assistant will be black
It could NEVER live up to the original film and viewers will left disappointed. They ought to focus their creativity on something new and interesting if they want to make another fashion movie. There is so so much they could do
It’s going to be called “ The Devil wears Temu” (Orange shoe on the poster)
If done right I could see it being successful, but the one thing that kinda bothers me is what could they possibly add without it coming off as just another cash grab of a beloved movie. I mean we all know what happened with Andy, Emily, and Miranda in the original movie, but what else do we need?
Andy is in a middle position in her career but is failing to progress further as she isn't willing/allowed to put in the hours and acts too much on her own whom. Emily is still in the same job because she lacks the talent to progress. Miranda is still in her job. Her kids want little to do with her as she wasn't around much but enjoy being socialites. Nigel finally left to have time to start a family and does marketing for an NGO. Premise is Miranda hires Andy to consult on a project and Andy learns to play the game and ditches her controlling husband.
@@MsJubjubbirdI love your idea of what could the sequel be! You deserve so much love for your comment 🎉
i don't care about the sequel but i am intrigued about the musical which stars vanessa williams as miranda priestly. she has played a magazine exec before in ugly betty so she has that role down pat !
They did a musical?!?!
@@BellesView yes! it's going to debut in the west end soon
True foe sequels being cashgrabs, except Cinderella, which needed that serious live action version and they really delivered. The story telling aspect is what makes it feel genuine and real. Love how marvelously whimsical Helena is in that, god what an actor.
Leave the Devil Wears Prada alone. The movie and story is perfect. If they do hash out a sequel, I will purse my lips, ignore its existence, and happily rewatch the original for the millionth time.
7:29 Ate and left no crumbs
While the sequel plot synopsis, examining the downfall of traditional magazine etc. sounds really topical and interesting, there’s no reason it has to be THIS IP. The need to revisit every story for a modern update is suffocating and shows that studios are unable to craft new narratives and characters. Relying on characters we already know often feels like a way to shortcut writing new stories with nuanced personalities.
To your point, my partner, a camo, hunting, give me a Vin Diesel action movie guy, loved Devil, like still watches one a year. I watch for the fashion and story, he watches for the BA boss that pushes her employee to pick a lane. Would he hang out with Miranda? NO, but he sees how she is a driver for Andy to push through the wishy washiness of her life.
The devil wears Prada is responsible for two things: my respect and admiration to fashion industry and my unhealthy lore to Meryl Streep as a actor, i remember as a young kid in 2006 the massive sensation it caused I remember it first premiering on VOD me and my entire family watched it and I loved it instantly. For a boring and bland fashion dresser, it’s responsible for why I take clothing and sense of style more serious, and as for Meryl, this is the movie that I believe not only cemented Meryl as the greatest actress of all time but the greatest actor of all time PERIOD go argue with the wall or your grandma,
Tbf a lot of grandmas would probably agree with you
JESUS WHY?! Tell me WHYY???
🎶Ain’t nothing but a mistake.🎶
It is completely unnecessary. Some movies are better left alone as they were told in the original.
The problem with the Devil Wears Prada sequel is that Miranda would immediately be running that shit. Her career would not be hurtling into the ground this badly, because she’d be the first to sell out due to the latest trends. That or her magazine would end up going the way of Limited Too, where nostalgia practically shuts out the future. Hell, A NEWSLETTER.
Agreed. She's a business woman, magazines being less relevant would not come as a surprise to her, she'd see that shit years in advance and adapt.
@@lulupomegranate I think the worst-case scenario would be that she runs a Limited Too-esque magazine, where it’s still chugging anyway as if she were never canceled, just hiding. *“Everything’s fine!”* ala Anna Wintour supporting a Nazi designer and still existing despite her abuse.
not gonna lie i will be sat when the devil wears prada sequel is released
i'm kinda excited for it😭
We all will be 😂 just to look how bad or good it may be
Just waiting to talk crap about the trailer.
You're the problem
With the musical coming up, I don’t really mind it. However, franchise fatigue is real.
7:29
THIS!!
2:08 you know, I’ve never considered tht ppl would consider this a romcom til just then 😅
I feel like part of what I struggle with is, what would bring all these characters together again? Like why would Andy go back to fashion?
It would be cool if Andy went back to fashion in a way that she's investigating fast fashion and sweatshops, maybe?
@@lulupomegranatewait that’s actually would be really interesting
I’d watch it, I’d probably love it, but it would also kinda feel like when they made Mean Girls 2, same actors or not. A cash grab clutching onto the fact that the original is such a classic
I saw the Devil wears Prada in the cinema for my tenth birthday, and I loved it. We didn’t have a cinema near my house as a kid so it required a day trip to Dublin City, making cinema trips rare. It has a special place in my heart for that reason, it’s one of my comfort movies that I have watched an uncountable amount of times. I don’t even know if I will bother with the sequel, the ending of the original is perfect and I don’t want to ruin it.
I mean, we also got nostalgia glasses. The original isn't perfect. They try to prove the boyfriend right, since they seem on the way to get back together at the end, but most of the audience hates him.
If they wanted to make a sequel, why not adapt the ACTUAL sequel??
Honestly I am glad they are not doing it, because the sequel book was shit. Andy was obnoxious through the whole thing and she didn't even GET or DO anything. It was just her whining, being quirky by demanding ShakeShack, making one bad decision after another and ending up a divorced single mom lapping up attention of an ex boyfriend.
You read my mind I was just thinking this!!! The Devil Wears Prada is one of my all time favs I don’t want it cheapened
I’m not gonna lie tho I’m excited and scared. I feel like cus of the actresses in this they not gonna be in just anything. If it’s ass I feel like they would leave or tell them to correct their wrongs. I have hope so I’m not gonna say much yet
Dude I hate sequels well sequels that are only made for a cash grab, the ones that are made with love and are actually good I love those.
I love your take on things bc it’s always a different pov from mine, I do think your personal jaded past is the root of the current sentiment to this sequel lol. I think it could work and it could be fun and I’m hoping that they (the cast) have a say so in the story and the direction of the aftermath for this film. But I also don’t expect this to be better than the OG for many reason but mostly bc of the time in MY life this came out and I watched it back then. I was a young girl watching the hills and my desires went from flip-phones, hollister tank tops and a&f jean skirts to Valentino shoes and Dior dresses, a MacBook and a sidekick; with Starbucks remaining through it all lol.
thank u, i felt like i was the only one who wasn’t very for a devil wears parada sequel
The sad thing nowadays in Hollywood. Many will sell their artistic integrity for a bigger paycheck. Sidney Poitier said it best “it’s not what you say yes too, but what you say no too”
i don't want this sequel but i have a feeling it's going to have a very funny sequel name (like 2 fast 2 furious) though that's the only good that could come from this
There’s actually a musical adaption of The Devil Wears Prada (with music by Elton John) about to premier on the West End. I’d _much_ rather see that than a sequel.
I didn’t even know there was a sequel I literally just found out DWP was getting a musical (super excited for it)
Original idea: *exists*
Hollywood: We don’t know them!!!
Wow love your vid on this sequel news. 7:29 "Is a fashion show saving world hunger? No. But neither is football" 😂😂 I could give you many snaps for that, so true.
I’m excited yet nervous because of how live action ATLA turned out where I had hope
It could be good. But it probably won't be.
Im kinda excited for it idk
not even the devil wears prada can get a break 😭
The intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro IS the spiritual sequel of the devil wears Prada
less than an hour club
⬇️ (and no, we don't need sequels for EVERY movie.)
my mind was literally on you when filmupdates posted that
girl stop playing . even if it sucks we want it to judge !
like u already have this critique vid out on the sequel and its just pre production. ur film critique will be out within 24 hours of the film release. its video material sister!
Shrek is getting another sequel lol
The thumbnail is everything 😂❤
I'm excited! I love these characters and I can't wait to see them again!
I'm going to Smith & Wollensky tomorrow.
Working as a fashion editor for one of the biggest international titles in the industry, I have to say that the story for the sequel definitely feels worth telling. Advertising has always been the main pillar of our universe and this potential sequel will definitely give perspective to that. A lot of people want to work for magazines thinking they will live "The Devil Wears Prada" lifestyle, but so much has changed since then. Although I do think a sequel, showing Miranda in harsh conditions, could 'end' the fairytale aspect of the story, it could also help shed light to the publishing world's current situation. Having said that, I'm torn between wishing or not for this sequel, but am most towards 'yes'.
It doesn't make any sense for it to have a sequel.. like, girl what??
HARD No on a sequel.. but we DO need more fashion movies 😔
YES
LOUDER !!
I’m glad somebody said it cause the excitement for this is kinda bewildering to me 😭
I can’t wait to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 , it been 18 years since the first The Devil Wears Prada came out ⏳
Okay, that mention about the trickle down of Fuchsia into fashion trends explains why I've seen it in the men's section recently when clothes shopping at JCPenney
I remember hearing someone (Matt Damon, maybe?) talk about how streaming is the cause of all these sequels and franchises. Used to be that even if your movie bombed in theaters, it would likely eventually make up sales later on in VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. It might take years, but it was likely to happen eventually as small groups of people chatted about it or someone came across it in a store.
But Netflix isn’t paying big money to have a little movie that didn’t find its audience to be on their service-they want it tossed in for a few pennies-a fraction of the total income of physical media. Sure, it’s less expensive to make them, but not by enough that they aren’t making a profit over time. Stores don’t want to take a loss on physical media; they’ll put it in a discount bin rather than chuck it. Netflix only pays big money for big films that will draw people to sign up; no skin off their teeth if they don’t renew rights on a little film.
So small films that aren’t based on an existing IP with an existing audience are riskier to make these days. Unless you’re a company like A24 that is drawing in audiences to new projects based on brand loyalty (like Miramax did in the 90s), there’s a lot of risk involved in the current movie model.
I’m really curious to see what happens when audiences get so burned out on sequels that they stop spending money-that’s honestly the only way we’re getting out of this franchise mess.
tried so many times to sign up for the news letter but the captcha will NOT let me through 😭😭
If Law Roach is not the stylist on the sequel I am going to….. I was going to say i was going to set something on fire but I will probably just not watch the movie.
Perfect thumbnail! Love it!❤
I hope they do a grat job with fashion, to not be cringe, etc. And Emily should go to Paris.
We don't need any of these remakes and sequels. Hollywood is lazy, unimaginative and boring. They just say "hey, that movie made us money 20 years ago. These idiots love nostalgia, let's try that again." And it always is terrible. They are so bad they actually make the original look worse.
Could you please do a style analysis on the film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. It has such amazing costume design that it’s honestly on the same level as The Devil Wears Prada and I’m not even lying about that.
Personally, I don’t want to see a sequel. However, follow me. I would like to see a prequel that’s in a more dramatic tone as to what made Miranda who she is
Hollywood is so desperate right now. Constant live actions, reboots, and sequels. I feel like Hollywood is losing hope on making money with original content. This is what they’re doing now and it’s super annoying. 🙄
