Emily Blunt’s Chic Milan Look for The Devil Wears Prada 2 Sets New Style Bar
SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux Spotted Filming The Devil Wears Prada 2, But Emily's Horror at AI-Generated Actress Tilly Norwood Takes Center Stage
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood A-lister Emily Blunt was spotted stepping out in style with her co-star Justin Theroux on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Milan on Monday. But amidst all the glamour and glitz, a more sinister development has been brewing - and it's got everyone in Tinseltown talking.
According to sources close to the production, Emily Blunt, 42, was seen looking chic in a cream silk skirt as she filmed scenes with Justin Theroux, who donned a sleek black tailored jacket. But the real buzz is centered around Emily's scathing comments about AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood, which have left the industry reeling.
In an explosive interview with Variety, Emily confessed that she was "terrified" by the prospect of Tilly Norwood, a young brunette actress created using artificial intelligence. When shown footage of Tilly, Emily gasped, "Does it disappoint me? I don't know how to quite answer it, other than to say how terrifying this is."
The AI talent studio Xicoia, which created Tilly, has been touting her as the next big thing in Hollywood - even going so far as to compare her to none other than Scarlett Johansson. But Emily was having none of it, firing back with a wry remark: "But we have Scarlett Johansson." And she's not alone in her skepticism.
Scream actress Melissa Barrera has also weighed in on the controversy, branding Tilly Norwood "gross" and warning talent agencies to steer clear of the AI-generated performer. In an Instagram Story, Melissa ranted, "Hope all actors repped by the agent that does this, drop their a$. How gross, read the room."
The debate over the ethics of AI-generated performers has been simmering for months, with some arguing that it's the future of Hollywood and others decrying it as a threat to human talent. But one thing is clear: Emily Blunt is not on board with the idea.
As one insider dished to The Scholarly Note, "Emily is a traditionalist at heart - she loves the art of acting and believes that there's no substitute for human emotion and connection. She's worried that Tilly Norwood is going to be the beginning of the end for real actors."
But what about Emily's role in The Devil Wears Prada 2? Insiders reveal that the actress will once again be playing Miranda Priestly's chic, perpetually harried senior assistant Emily Charlton - but this time around, she'll have a new look. Gone are her signature copper red locks; instead, Emily has debuted a stunning ash blonde 'do on set in New York.
As for Tilly Norwood, it seems that the AI-generated actress is already attracting interest from talent agencies - and some are even predicting that she could be the next big star. But will Emily Blunt's vocal opposition to the trend make a difference? Only time will tell.
In related news, Meryl Streep starred in the original movie as the fearsome fashion editor Miranda Priestly, who was inspired by the now outgoing Vogue chief Anna Wintour. The original novel was a roman à clef by Lauren Weisberger, whose fictional stand-in Andrea 'Andy' Sachs was portrayed on screen by Anne Hathaway.
But one thing is certain: with Tilly Norwood and AI-generated performers taking center stage, it's going to be an interesting ride for the movie industry. Stay tuned to The Scholarly Note for all the latest updates!
