We have news from an interview with Anne Hathaway that The Devil Wears Prada will be done at one, and plans for a sequel were killed. We get the scoop from our friends at MTV:
“I’m really, really proud of Fox’s decision not to pursue a sequel,” the 25-year-old actress said of the 2006 film that became an unexpected $100 million blockbuster. “When I did [the upcoming film] ‘Bride Wars’ with them I asked what happened, and they said we can’t make a story, and it’s not worth it to damage the original film.”
I n the interview Hathaway goes on to mention that after the success of the first film, she called up the studio and pleaded “Can we just come up with a story please?” They told her that one was in the works, but has been killed. I’m glad the studio decided to make this decision and applaud them for doing so. I can understand Hathaway’s excitement to revisit the character but I’m pleased that she too can see the benefit in leaving things be.
I liked The Devil Wears Prada very much, Largely due to the performance of The Streep. A sequel would have bothered me quite a bit This news is very refreshing in a time where everything seems to be milked to death. So my hat’s off to Fox for leaving well enough alone.
International Friends, do you agree – or do you have interest in a Prada sequel?
