‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Trailer: Yas Queens Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway Returns As Slay Icons On May 1 It’s not a massive surprise that the sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2” will be arriving in cinemas this May. What is surprising is how long it took to greenlight a follow-up to the 2006 hit starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. A second chapter to the hit 2003 Lauren Weisberger novel—which followed protagonist Andrea Sachs through a grueling experience as personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor (believed in real life to be based on American Vogue editor Anna Wintour)—came out all the way back in 2013 under the title ‘Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns.’ However, Streep expressed zero interest at the time in reprising her role as Miranda Priestly, while Hathaway similarly indicated that she’d prefer not to return.   Continue reading ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Trailer: Yas Queens Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway Returns As Slay Icons On May 1 at The Playlist.

Joni Mitchell Biopic By Cameron Crowe Confirmed To Include Meryl Streep As Iconic Canadian Folk Singer In the world of long-gestating passion projects, progress rarely arrives with a press release and a neat little bow.

‘Melaina’ DOP Dante Spinotti Defends Working With Brett Ratner On Trump World Doc: “I Felt That What Happened To Him Was Kind Of Unjust” Filmmaker Brett Ratner (accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women and implicated in the Epstein Files) was behind the recent Melania Trump documentary “Melania,” seen by many as a political attempt to rebrand The Trump Family’s public image. The doc arriving in theaters in the wake of multiple corruption allegations (Trump openly courting bribes from foreign governments/companies, and is said to be selling pardons to convicted criminals), attacks on the Constitution with ICE’s illegal thugish activities across the country (leading to multiple deaths of American citizens and many more residents in detention, with little to zero investigations into that conduct), and increasingly disgusting allegations made in the Epstein Files that suggests that the President may have participated in the infamous child sex trafficking ring (Melania was notably connected to Jeffrey Epstein and that world like her husband for decades).

‘Aanikoobijigan’ Review: Adam & Zack Khalil Craft A Quietly Radical Documentary About Life, Death, Time, & Knowledge [Sundance] “Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild],” the thoughtful and quietly radical new documentary from Ojibwe filmmakers Adam and Zack Khalil, which recently won the NEXT Audience Award at Sundance, is about a great many things.  It’s about life just as it is death, theft as much as it is restoration, and history just as much as it is our current moment. It’s about the ways the past, present, and future are interconnected, challenging us to look more deeply at their relationship, serving as an act of often revolutionary reframing of how we think about time and knowledge.
