"The Devil Wears Prada 2" officially in production, Kenneth Branagh joins cast

Multiple sources are reporting that The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially begun production. 20th Century Studios posted a teaser on their Instagram page:



Stanely Tucci, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway have all been confirmed to return (along with Meryl of course). An interesting addition was announced, with Kenneth Branagh joining the cast as Miranda's husband. I imagine the role will be larger than that of her husband in the first movie. Not sure why Branagh would bother otherwise. Other than maybe a chance to work with Meryl. And great that Meryl gets the chance to work with him! 

Details of the plot are still mostly under wraps, but the general consensus is that Blunt's character is now an executive for a luxury group whose ad dollars Miranda desperately needs. With production underway, it seems reasonable that they'll wrap sometime in September. I wonder if The Corrections would possibly film then later this fall. It takes place mostly in the weeks leading up to Christmas, so that timing seems reasonable. I would really love to see that project come to fruition. Regardless, we'll get to see Meryl on the big screen again in less than a year!

  2. Great update. The story made the news here in Oz. Branagh very often casts acting colleagues in future productions. I see the potential for an interesting future role for Meryl, perhaps in a UK-based Branagh-directed production.

  3. The NYC filming is done in September but they're possibly going to Milan (for Milan fashion week of course) so more like end of September/early October
