Emily Blunt & Anne Hathaway: Milan Fashion Frenzy on The Devil Wears Prada 2 Set!
SCANDAL IN MILAN! The Devil Wears Prada 2 Hits Production Snags Amid AI Talent Agency Controversy
The fashion capital of Milan has been abuzz with excitement as production for The Devil Wears Prada 2 resumed, bringing together the iconic cast members Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway in a sizzling display of style. But beneath the glamour and glitz, a brewing controversy threatens to shake the very foundations of Hollywood.
As reported exclusively by thescholarlynote.com, Emily Blunt expressed her horror at the emergence of AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood, created by talent studio Xicoia. The digital performer, designed as a composite of familiar stars, has left industry insiders reeling and sparked a heated debate about the future of human talent.
In an explosive interview with Variety, Emily Blunt unleashed her full fury: "Does it disappoint me? I don't know how to quite answer it, other than to say how terrifying this is. No, are you serious? That's an AI? Good Lord, we're screwed. That is really, really scary. Come on, agencies, don't do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection."
The normally poised actress was visibly shaken by the prospect of artificial intelligence stealing her thunder, even comparing Tilly to the inimitable Scarlett Johansson. "But we have Scarlett Johansson," she exclaimed, as if daring the AI world to try and compete with the real thing.
Emily Blunt isn't alone in her concerns. Fellow Hollywood star Melissa Barrera took to Instagram to share her outrage, branding the arrival of Tilly as "gross." She posted a scathing message: "Hope all actors repped by the agent that does this, drop their a$. How gross, read the room."
As the controversy rages on, fans are left wondering what's next for The Devil Wears Prada 2. Set to hit theaters in May 2026, exactly 20 years after the original became a cultural phenomenon, the sequel promises to deliver more of the same sizzling style and wit that made its predecessor an instant classic.
But behind the scenes, insiders claim the plot is shrouded in secrecy. Rumors suggest Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) will be grappling with the struggles facing print magazines, turning to her former assistant Emily Charlton (reprise role played by Emily Blunt) for vital advertising deals.
The original film, released in 2006, cemented its place as a cultural touchstone, earning two Academy Award nominations and solidifying Meryl Streep's iconic status. The Devil Wears Prada has since become a defining comedy of the 2000s, inspiring countless fashion enthusiasts to whisper, "That's all."
As production for the sequel continues in Milan, one thing is clear: The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to be a wild ride, full of drama, style, and a healthy dose of controversy. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of Hollywood as this saga unfolds.
UPDATE: The original film's director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna have been enlisted for the same roles on the sequel, promising to deliver more of the same magic that made the first film an instant classic. The Devil Wears Prada is based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, which has since been adapted into a musical, starring Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly and featuring music by Elton John.
As the world waits with bated breath for The Devil Wears Prada 2, one thing is certain: this sequel will be a battle to watch. Will human talent prevail, or will AI take over? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – the drama in Milan just got a whole lot juicier!
