NEW YORK – “The Devil Wears Prada 2” has all the biting jokes and mind-blowing fashion you loved from the first movie.
But two decades on, the sequel (in theaters May 1) arrives in an extremely different landscape, which has forced media companies to tighten their belts as page views plummet and AI surges.
The film thoughtfully reckons with the explosion of AI and how it affects the staff of the fictional Runway magazine in the movie.
“There are so many challenges, so many concerns and fears,” says Emily Blunt, whose Emily Charlton leaves the crumbling media business for a corporate fashion position. “I do think that the film is able to capture what's going on, and the siege that journalism is coming under. I think it’s really poignant.”
