Meryl Streep Reveals How The Devil Wears Prada Sequel Took Years to Shape
In a new video shared by Johar on his Instagram handle on Wednesday, April 15, Meryln was heard saying, "The script is so good. The writer, Lauren Weisberger, who wrote the first one, began talking about a sequel three years after the first film appeared because it was such a huge hit and had a cultural impact that nobody in Hollywood could feel. It took that long for her to find a concept. The moment we’re in right now, with where journalism and publishing are, it took all that time to place these characters in jeopardy. Miranda is navigating uncharted waters, like we all are."
