We have news from an interview with Anne Hathaway that The Devil Wears Prada will be done at one, and plans for a sequel were killed. We get the scoop from our friends at MTV:
“I’m really, really proud of Fox’s decision not to pursue a sequel,” the 25-year-old actress said of the 2006 film that became an unexpected $100 million blockbuster. “When I did [the upcoming film] ‘Bride Wars’ with them I asked what happened, and they said we can’t make a story, and it’s not worth it to damage the original film.”
I n the interview Hathaway goes on to mention that after the success of the first film, she called up the studio and pleaded “Can we just come up with a story please?” They told her that one was in the works, but has been killed. I’m glad the studio decided to make this decision and applaud them for doing so. I can understand Hathaway’s excitement to revisit the character but I’m pleased that she too can see the benefit in leaving things be.
I liked The Devil Wears Prada very much, Largely due to the performance of The Streep. A sequel would have bothered me quite a bit This news is very refreshing in a time where everything seems to be milked to death. So my hat’s off to Fox for leaving well enough alone.
International Friends, do you agree – or do you have interest in a Prada sequel?
I dont really like these type of movies but for some reason I LOVED this movie and I am glad they are not planning to do a sequel. I think The Streep was fantastic in this movie and I also liked Emily Blunt’s character alot.
There have been many, many great/good comedies that were big hits that didn’t get sequels of any kind and nothing is wrong with that. What studios then attempt to do is put the same actors in another, but different movie. So I would love to see Hathaway team up again with Streep, or for that matter, Emily Blunt.
However…something about the statement…that…just…
well, it just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
“It’s not worth it to damage the original film.”
Yes, they have respect for The Devil, but not much else, eh?
haha
i didnt like the first one.
not because it was a chick flick but…the first half was good but at the end the girl really turned into a bitch…idk i ended up hating the movie thanks to the primary character
I am so happy that there is not going to be a sequel. The Devil Wears Prada is one of my most fav movies. And to make a number 2 will fuck up what the first one accomplished.
PS
I can’t wait for Bride Wars!!!!
This is good. I liked the first movie, but not enough for it to keep me up at night wondering what other crazy fashion magazine misadventures Anne Hathaway could get into.
If it was done respectfully, it would of been interesting. But really, the first was solid enough on it’s own and kind of wrapped itself up nicely, you know, as a movie based on a book should be.
