“The Devil Wears Prada 2” Unlikely According to Anne Hathaway
Oscar winner and acclaimed actress, Anne Hathaway, renowned for her role as Andy Sachs in the cult movie ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, hinted that a sequel to the film seems improbable. During an interview with Vanity Fair, Hathaway discussed her reservations for the sequel, especially in the contemporary media context.
Her primary concern revolves around the considerable shift in media consumption. She expressed that the 2006 film was highly built on the relevance of print magazines, a scenario quite contrasting to today’s digital age.
Her Insights
Since the film’s release, Hathaway’s perspective seems to have evolved on this topic. She shared, “I’m just realizing this as I talk to you. I haven’t turned to my team and said, ‘Only send me movies that predate the personal computer revolution.’ ”
Committed to reality, she notes how the media landscape has transitioned from traditional print to digital, making the backdrop of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ somewhat archaic. The wave of digitalization changed how individuals receive information, a stark departure from the earlier days of print media.
Unseen for Years
Surprisingly, Hathaway admitted that she had not watched the film for years. Though fans may have marveled at the movie time and again, the star candidly mentioned on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, “It’s been, if not over a decade, maybe two decades since I’ve seen this movie.”
No Follow-Up Needed?
Despite her fond memories and popularity achieved through the film, Hathaway feels that a sequel isn’t mandatory. Speaking to Variety, she stated her keenness to work with her co-stars again but perhaps in a different capacity. “I’d love to make a movie with all the people again that’s something totally different. But I think that one might have just hit the right note,” she said.
The Ninth Choice
Hathaway’s performance as Andy Sachs was unarguably iconic. Interestingly, she was not the initial choice for the role but was ninth in line. Despite this, her portrayal is a testament to her adaptability and remarkable talent.
The Cultural Impact
The cultural legacy of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is undeniable. Although Hathaway had zero expectations about the movie becoming a pop culture phenomenon, it certainly did. The impact it left on viewers is significant, and Hathaway acknowledges this cultural influence.
On possible franchise revival, Hathaway echoed, “Sometimes things should be cherished and preserved in this bubble and it’s okay.”
In Conclusion
The likelihood of Hathaway reprising her role for a sequel seems slim. Her valid concerns regarding the cultural context of the film make the return improbable. Irrespective of this, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many.
For fans wanting to relive the magic, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is available for streaming on Netflix.
