20th Century Fox has released the final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2:
I realize they don't want to give away the plot too much, but we did get a little more sense of what the thrust of the movie is. Miranda/Runway has a scandal, Andy is brought in to help cover it up in some way, and her friends urge her to write a sort of tell-all exposé on her. They're cutting so many clips into the trailer that it's a little tough to tell how good this is going to be as an actual movie. Of course they have to include some throwbacks to the original movie, but that can only be interesting to a limited degree. Emily seems the most like her original character. Miranda seems more open or light in some way. Hard to put a finger on exactly. They did seem to show quite a bit more of Anne Hathaway in this final trailer as well.
I maintain that Meryl would not have been particularly interested in revisiting this character and world had the script not at least been decent. We'll never going to fully know until we see it, which is only in three and a half weeks! I really hope this isn't a huge disappointment. I'm counting on the movie being a boost to Meryl's upcoming project opportunities. I think as long as it's not complete shit there is enough good will carrying over from how popular the first film was for people to get their butts into the theater at least one or two times. Can't wait!
I’m encouraged after the clip on Colbert and this latest trailer. I wasn’t really feeling it based on the first couple of trailers and was worried that they had softened Miranda too much this time out. I loved Miranda telling Andi to take the train, and that look that Emily gives her after that exchange!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this trailer, along with the second one. The first trailer was weak in comparison. I agree Jeff, Miranda does feel lighter and more possible more mature as a character, while still capable of being direct, demanding and cutting.
ReplyDeleteThis should finally encourage me back to the cinema after over 3 years! Looking forward to it and I'm really hoping it's a big hit 😀
And also.. people change in real life. I’m a totally different person of what I was 20 yeas ago. I know that movies are not like the real life.. but it could be and interesting point of view to consider if we do not get a exact Miranda from the first movie. Maybe she’s changed.
ReplyDeleteI'm suspecting that Miranda's drive and frustration with others who do not operate on her "level" will still be present, as they are primary characteristics. The way she expressed these may have changed. I liked that she appears to have someone to advise on what she is not longer permitted to say in professional meetings, that is ripe for comedy potential
DeleteAgree!! Yawning at the criticisms of missing the “mean” Miranda. They’ve tried to make a movie for 2026, it seems, which is more than most comeback sequels do.
ReplyDelete“And when we get back to New York we need to contact, um, [Andy] to see what she can do to minimize the press on all this… Another divorce…”
ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear Meryl’s response to Anne Hathaway’s request that she return to the theater: “I wish I could” https://youtu.be/BwomJKcUosg?si=hrHipMhbzjKsoM0_
ReplyDeleteOh Meryl, please please do theatre again, it's been too long!

DeleteYour wish of Meryl returning to the theatre may happen for real. I also think she will do it because it allows her to spend a lot of time with Martin Short during rehearsals. Work + love!
