Are you looking at \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada<\/a>\u201d sequel set photos? Yeah, we are \u2014 and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna<\/a> approves. <\/p>\n

While fans are clamoring for a peek at Anne Hathaway back as Andy Sachs and Meryl Streep reprising her Oscar-nominated role of Miranda Priestly (allegedly inspired by Anna Wintour<\/a>),\u00a0\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a>\u201d photos have already ignited a viral storm: Are the images spoiling the fashion<\/a>? Or perhaps even the plot<\/a>?<\/p>\n

McKenna disagrees. In fact, she welcomes the online discord and can even relate to the excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will stand outside just for a glimpse of these actors and these characters that they love because seeing them in wardrobe has really excited people, especially since it\u2019s a fashion movie,\u201d McKenna told IndieWire while on set filming on the Met steps. \u201cWe knew there would be a lot of interest. I personally hadn\u2019t experienced this level of people coming out [to the set], but it\u2019s the world we live in. In many ways, we\u2019re speaking to a different world than we did in 2006. \u2026 It stems from like a legitimate desire to see these characters again. As long as everyone\u2019s safe, what an honor that people are still interested.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"MARRIAGE<\/a> \"'The<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d hit theaters in 2006, with its sequel now set for a release in 2026 in time for the 20th anniversary. Hathaway returns to lead the film<\/a> as journalist Andy, who was last seen quitting fashion magazine Runway and still landing a heartwarming referral letter from her former boss, editor-in-chief Miranda (Streep). Emily Blunt plays Andy\u2019s former colleague Emily Charlton, with Stanley Tucci as Runway\u2019s creative director Nigel. <\/p>\n

The sequel plot has been kept under wraps<\/a>; along with McKenna and the core cast, David Frankel is back directing, with the below-the-line crew of producers, DPs, production designers, and costumers (Patricia Field did the costume designs for the first film) returning too.<\/p>\n

And as McKenna said, \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d is inherently a film that puts fashion at the forefront. \u201cI got a little squeal when I saw them in costume the first time,\u201d McKenna admitted of witnessing Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci back in character. \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh my God!\u2019 It was like my son\u2019s bar mitzvah or something. I felt like I wanted to take pictures!\u201d<\/p>\n

McKenna continued, \u201cI\u2019m a fan of these actors, and I just have to pinch myself frequently. The heart and soul of this are the people. It\u2019s been really amazing to see these people again.\u201d <\/p>\n

The highly publicized shoot is all just part of the celebration. \u201cI think that people really, really crave in-person experiences and common experiences, and they\u2019ll seek them out,\u201d McKenna said, citing the recent sold-out \u201cThe Summer I Turned Pretty\u201d Bryant Park outdoor fan screening as a prime example of the clamoring for communal cinematic events. \u201cThe most wonderful thing about [\u2018The Devil Wears Prada\u2019] is what it means to people. When you tell them you\u2019re doing it, it really means something because it seems like [the original] marked some sort of important moments in their own life, and that\u2019s tremendously gratifying and thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

McKenna is looking to include fans\u2019 love of \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d in the making of the sequel. \u201cWe\u2019ve all known each other for 20 years, so it reflects our own evolutions and relationships, and that\u2019s been really cool, reconnecting to people who shared this experience with you the first time,\u201d McKenna said of working again with the original cast and crew. \u201cWe\u2019re also experiencing our own sense of nostalgia and revisiting this in the best way. It\u2019s a true reunion, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re hoping to do for an audience: to give them that feeling of a reunion, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
