Anne Hathaway To Return For 'The Devil Wears Prada' Sequel?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Anne Hathaway – “The Devil Wears Prada” author Lauren Weisberger is set to drudge up another hit with a sequel to her beloved debut novel. The working novel “Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns” will pick up eight years after “Andy” parted ways with “Miranda” on not-so-good terms.

In 2003, “The Devil Wears Prada” reached the pinnacle of best-seller lists fast-way to a hit 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The novel was based on Weisberger’s experience as second assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Per novel: Andrea “Andy” Sachs, an aspiring journalist, disclosed how she dealt with the increasingly unreasonable demands of her fashion editor boss Miranda Priestly.

Fast-forward, “Andy is now editing The Plunge, the hottest bridal magazine around, alongside Emily, her one-time Runway nemesis turned current BFF. While Andy is planning her own wedding to Max, a handsome media scion, she remains haunted by her impeccably heeled former boss — and the magazine world being as small as it is, it’s only a matter of time before she hears the dreaded syllables “Ahn-dre-ah!” again,” according to CNN.com.

Simon & Schuster will be publishing the follow-up in April 2013, 10 years after the release of the original. Will Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep reprise their role? Let’s hope so!

 

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
