NEW YORK – Emily Charlton has always been the acid-tongued heart of “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Played with blistering sarcasm by Emily Blunt, the high-strung Runway magazine assistant had many of the most crackling one-liners in the original 2006 film. (“I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?”)
The Type-A character loses none of her bite in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” (in theaters May 1), with a plethora of caustic new jokes that are bound to enter the pop culture lexicon, some of which Blunt, 43, improvised herself along with new co-star Justin Theroux.
“ ‘May the bridges I burn light my way’ is mine, which is the most dreadful affirmation one could say to create an outlook for life,” Blunt says with a laugh, seated with castmate Stanley Tucci, who returns as faithful art director Nigel Kipling in the sequel.
