dailyloe.com – Anne Hathaway advocated against casting ‘alarmingly thin’ models in the upcoming ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ sequel, according to co-star Meryl Streep. Streep revealed this in a new Harper’s Bazaar cover story about Hathaway’s major movie year. The story highlights a shift in on-screen representation.
This stance contrasts with the first film’s production environment. That movie was an ‘unknown wild card’ which made fashion brands hesitant. The sequel, however, filmed with support from several high-end fashion brands.
The cast even attended actual runway shows during Milan Fashion Week. This full industry embrace was a ‘wake-up call’ for Streep. She returns to her Oscar-nominated role as editor Miranda Priestly.
Hathaway has a significant slate of films releasing before fall. These include A24’s ‘Mother Mary’ and Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’. She also stars in the highly anticipated ‘Prada’ sequel.
The original 2006 film was a major critical and commercial success. It grossed over $326 million worldwide against a $35 million budget. Streep earned her 14th Oscar nomination for her performance.
The sequel’s production marks a new era for fashion in film. It reflects evolving industry standards regarding body image. The film is one of the most anticipated releases of the coming year.[]
