Per Puck News exclusive, after getting Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt on board, Disney has hired the original film’s screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna to work on sequel for The Devil Wears Prada.
The storyline being discussed focuses on Miranda Priestly, Streep’s Wintour-esque protagonist, at the end of her career, facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing. She’s forced to go head-to-head with her former assistant, Blunt’s Emily Charlton, now a high-powered executive at a Kering or LVMH-style luxury group, whose advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs.
No word if Anne Hathaway, who said a few months a go that a sequel wouldn't work, is returning.
