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!

 

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
