They’re doing a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Prada Two.is a much different movie from ONE. Anne Hathaway stars as the rising egghead of journalism.

The old magazine is struggling and is in an atrocious state. like fashion in the USA. No one wants to tell Meryl that the publication is in the dumps. It has had trouble shifting to an on-line world. There are no more scenes of delivering the book to the house; no one has time to read. Fashion’s creative side today has taken inspiration from the alley behind the New York Police Department.

The magazine needs fresh blood. Meryl, entrenched and wrinkled, trying on clothes to hide her belly is tiring. No one has the capacity to anticipate each whim. Of course, Anne is Meryl’s favorite despite less-fat Emily’s attempts to stab her in the back all the time.

The story has to go somewhere, so Stanley Tucci has been demoted to the kitchen, the chef of the business. Who cares about shoes when risotto con cream de aspirate rovennoti is in the offing. The food portions of DEVIL TWO  are fantastic. Super secret spoiler alert. In One Anne has a spoiled boyfriend who goes to Boston to be a sou-chef. He’s no longer on the scene, but Anne has always liked Stanley and romance over the food makes for an interesting counterpoint. 

They’ve brought in Meryl’s husband (which number) played by Kenneth Branagh. There’s no way to make DEVIL TWO a family film: The audience won’t watch an old white couple having to remind one another to tie shoe laces. With additional writing, someone might be able to make DEVIL TWO, an Alzheimer’s comedy.
