In 1997, Grenier left Bard to embark on a film career. He made his film debut in the independent drama, "Arresting Gena", then in 1999 played opposite Melissa Joan Hart in "Drive Me Crazy" and in 2001 starred in James Toback's "Harvard Man". In 2004, Grenier played Vincent Chase in the HBO series "Entourage", gaining his most substantial notability and success. The series followed the triumphs and trials in the life of Chase, as the movie star character and his friends lived the good life in Los Angeles. It ran for eight seasons, from 2004–2011, and was nominated for numerous Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.

In 2006, she starred in David Frankel's comedy film "The Devil Wears Prada", as an assistant to the powerful fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. Hathaway said that working on the film made her respect the fashion industry a great deal more than she had previously, though she said her personal style was something she "still can't get right". She also stated that she and co-star Emily Blunt got so hungry on their weight-loss regimen for the film it made them cry. To prepare for the role, Hathaway volunteered for a few weeks as an assistant at an auction house.

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 American comedy-drama film directed by David Frankel and produced by Wendy Finerman. The screenplay, written by Aline Brosh McKenna, is based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name. The film adaptation stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a powerful fashion magazine editor, and Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City and lands a job as Priestly's co-assistant. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci co-star as co-assistant Emily Charlton and art director Nigel Kipling, respectively. Adrian Grenier, Simon Baker, and Tracie Thoms play key supporting roles.
The Devil Wears Prada (film) | Introduction
In it, instead of Andy reminding Miranda of a guest's name after the sickened Emily cannot, Miranda's husband shows up and makes rude comments to not only his wife but Ravitz, the head of Elias-Clark. Andrea earns a silent "thank you" from Miranda when she helps prevent the confrontation from escalating by diverting Raviz with a question of her own.

The single priciest item was a $100,000 Fred Leighton necklace on Streep. When Hathaway enters the office after Nigel gives her access to "Runway"'s closet, she is dressed entirely in Chanel. Field explained in 2016 that "I felt Annie Hathaway was a Chanel girl organically, as opposed to let's say a Versace [or Roberto Cavalli] girl." When she called the company to ask for assistance, they were delighted because "they wanted to see Chanel on a young girl to give it another point of view," showing it as a brand for "not just middle-aged women in suits, but youthful and funky." Calvin Klein rounds out Andrea's wardrobe.

He is best known for his portrayal of Vincent Chase in the television series "Entourage" (2004–2011).

At a charity benefit, she fails to provide information about a guest making his way to meet Miranda. Andy manages to save Miranda from embarrassment and is rewarded by being asked to replace Emily as Miranda's assistant at Fashion Week. Miranda tells Andy to inform Emily that she won't be going to Paris, but when Andy calls Emily, she is hit by a car and ends up in the hospital. Andy then tells the recovering Emily the news and Emily is infuriated. When Andy tells Nate she is going to Paris, he is angered by her refusal to admit that she has become what she once ridiculed, and they break up.

The third was particularly challenging as it uses passing cars and other obstructions to cover Hathaway's changes of outfit. Some scenes were also created in the editing room, such as the reception at the museum, where Livolsi wove B-roll footage in to keep the action flowing.

The film version was released on June 30, 2006 by 20th Century Fox. It was produced by Wendy Finerman ("Forrest Gump"), freely adapted for the screen by Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by David Frankel. Anne Hathaway played Andrea, Meryl Streep earned critical praise, a win for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination as Miranda, and Emily Blunt played Emily. Production took place during fall 2005, on location in New York and Paris. Weisberger herself made a very brief non-speaking cameo appearance as the twins' nanny. The film was very successful, taking in over $300 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film for both lead actresses up to that date.

Hathaway made a transition to adult roles with the 2005 dramas "Havoc" and "Brokeback Mountain". The comedy film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006), in which she played an assistant to a fashion magazine editor, was her biggest commercial success to that point. She played a recovering alcoholic in the drama "Rachel Getting Married" (2008), which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She followed this with roles in the commercially successful romantic films "Bride Wars" (2009), "Valentine's Day" (2010), "Love & Other Drugs" (2010), and the fantasy film "Alice in Wonderland" (2010). In 2012, Hathaway starred as Selina Kyle in her highest-grossing film "The Dark Knight Rises", the final installment in "The Dark Knight" trilogy.

Hathaway and Blunt also drew favorable reviews and nominations for their performances. The film grossed over $300 million worldwide, against its $41 million budget, and was the 12th highest-grossing film worldwide in 2006.
The Devil Wears Prada (film) | Introduction
The film received positive reviews; Roger Ebert called Hathaway "a great beauty [...] who makes a convincing career girl" and Rotten Tomatoes found "Streep in top form and Anne Hathaway more than holding her own". "The Devil Wears Prada" became Hathaway's biggest commercial success to this point, grossing more than $326.5 million worldwide.

She begins to dress stylishly and starts showing effort for the position, accommodating all of Miranda's whims and fancies. Problems arise in her relationship with her chef boyfriend, Nate, who increasingly finds her spending all her time at her new boss's beck and call. Miranda starts to notice Andy's changed appearance and commitment and begins to give her more responsibility and complicated tasks to handle. Slowly but surely, Andy becomes more glamorous and begins aligning herself, unwittingly at first, to the "Runway" philosophy. She gradually begins to outperform Emily at her job. Emily, meanwhile, is consumed with the thought of attending Paris Fashion Week as Miranda's assistant, and starts to lose her health by attempting extreme diets.

Several weeks after all the major parts had been cast, the actors gathered in New York for a table read. Hathaway was nervous and goofy, she recalls, since she still had not developed her idea of the part; she described her performance at that point as "[nothing] particularly impressive." Blunt, by contrast, found Streep's laugh relaxed her enough to keep her focused on playing a nervous, distracted Emily. The highlight of the session was Streep's first line as Miranda. Instead of the "strident, bossy, barking voice" everyone expected, Hathaway says, Streep silenced the room by speaking in a near whisper.

For the photo of Andrea with her parents, Hathaway posed with her own mother and David Marshall Grant. The Dengel twins recalled being asked every day for three years straight if the Harry Potter advance copies were real; to their great disappointment they were not and in fact were "all gibberish". They eventually auctioned them for $586 on eBay, along with various clothing used in the film, to benefit Dress for Success, a charity which provides business clothing to help women transition into the workforce.

"The walk, I'm afraid, is mine," Streep added.

A few process shots were necessary, mainly to put exterior views behind windows on sets and in the Mercedes where Miranda and Andrea are having their climactic conversation. Fox originally refused permission to let Frankel shoot some scenes from the third act in Paris, where it is set, due to the low budget. But after six "nightmarish" weeks of shooting, he had an editor cut a "sizzle reel" of highlights. That convinced the studio to increase the budget to allow for limited shooting overseas (Streep did not go as Fox believed it would be too expensive).

After touring some offices of real fashion magazines, Jess Gonchor gave the "Runway" offices a clean, white look meant to suggest a makeup compact ("the chaste beiges and whites of impervious authority," Denby called it). Miranda's office bears some strong similarities to the real office of Anna Wintour, down to an octagonal mirror on the wall, photographs and a floral arrangement on the desk Gonchor later told "Women's Wear Daily" that he had based the set on a photo of Wintour's office he found online; the similarity led Wintour to have her office redecorated after the movie's release. She even chose separate computer wallpaper to highlight different aspects of Blunt's and Hathaway's character: Paris's Arc de Triomphe on Blunt's suggests her aspirations to accompany Miranda to the shows there, while the floral image on Andy's suggests the natural, unassuming qualities she displays at the outset of her tenure with the magazine.

Streep said she did not base her character in "The Devil Wears Prada" on Anna Wintour, instead saying she was inspired by men she had known previously: "Unfortunately you don't have enough women in power, or at least I don't know them, to copy."

A former personal assistant, Lauren Weisberger, wrote the 2003 bestselling "roman à clef" "The Devil Wears Prada", later made into a successful 2006 film starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a fashion editor, believed to be based on Wintour. In 2009, she was the focus of another film, R. J. Cutler's documentary "The September Issue".

"The Devil Wears Prada" received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 75% based on 194 reviews, along with an average rating of 6.64/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A rare film that surpasses the quality of its source novel, this "Devil" is a witty expose of New York's fashion scene, with Meryl Streep in top form and Anne Hathaway more than holding her own." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 62 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade B on scale of A to F.

In 2006, Hathaway starred opposite Meryl Streep in the highly successful comedy-drama "The Devil Wears Prada" and portrayed Jane Austen in the biographical drama "Becoming Jane" the following year. Hathaway received critical acclaim and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for playing a recovering alcoholic in "Rachel Getting Married" (2008). She played Viola in The Public Theater's 2009 production of "Twelfth Night", which garnered her a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play. In 2010, she won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for providing her voice for an episode on "The Simpsons".

According to Frankel, Streep saw the film as a chance to "skewer the doyennes of the fashion world." She has three daughters, and as an ardent feminist, felt that fashion magazines "twisted the minds of young women around the world and their priorities. This was an interesting way to get back at them." Also, she said, the film passed the Bechdel test. She insisted on the scenes where she explains to Andy the connection between the blue sweater she is wearing and the "haute couture" industry, and the scene where Miranda briefly opens up to Andy, without makeup, about her divorce.

In 2013, Weisberger wrote a sequel, "Revenge Wears Prada". However, it does not seem likely that a film version of it, or any sequel, will be made, as two of the film's stars are not eager to do so. Streep has reportedly said that she is not interested in making a sequel for this film in particular. And while Hathaway admits she'd be interested in working with the same people, it would have to be "something totally different." "The Devil Wears Prada", she told "Variety" "might have just hit the right note. It's good to leave it as it is."

The crew were in Paris for only two days, and used only exteriors. Streep did not make the trip.

Its theatrical run continued through December 10, shortly before the DVD release. "The core marketing was definitely to women," Gabler recalls, "but the men didn't resist going to the movie." She felt that male viewers responded favorably to the movie because they sought a glimpse inside fashion, and because Miranda "was enjoyable to watch." The release date helped generate word of mouth when people who had seen it discussed it at holiday gatherings. "They were talking about it, like a summer reading book," said Gabler.

The cast members bonded tightly on the set, and remained close afterwards. Blunt invited them to her wedding to John Krasinski in 2010. There, Tucci met her sister Felicity, whom he later married. "Ten years after "The Devil Wears Prada", Stanley is in my actual family," she told "Variety". "How frightening is that?" In its anniversary story, "Variety" argued that it had benefited all three of its lead actresses. In addition to Streep's record-setting Oscar nomination, the magazine observed, it had proven that she could be a box-office draw by herself, opening doors up for her to be cast as a lead in later summer movies such as "Julie & Julia" and "Mamma Mia!" For Hathaway, it was her first leading role in a film intended for an adult audience.

If she manages to work for Miranda for a year, people tell her, she can have her choice of jobs within the magazine industry. At a celebrity party, Andrea meets Christian Collinsworth, a charismatic Yale graduate who is considered one of the hot, new up-and-coming writers of their generation. They are attracted to each other, which complicates her relationship with her boyfriend, Alex. Andrea's relationships become entangled because of her new job. Lily increasingly turns to alcohol and picks up dubious men to relieve the pressure of graduate school. Alex, struggling with his own demanding job as an inner-city schoolteacher, grows frustrated with Andrea's long hours and constant stress.

Hoberman, Edelstein's onetime colleague at "The Village Voice", called the movie an improvement on the book and said Streep was "the scariest, most nuanced, funniest movie villainess since Tilda Swinton's nazified White Witch [in 2005's ""]."
The Devil Wears Prada (film) | Critical response
"It was so unexpected and brilliant." At the reading Streep also changed Miranda's last line to "everybody wants to be "us"" from the original "me". Streep made a conscious decision not to play the part as a direct impression of Wintour, right down to not using an accent and making the character American rather than English ("I felt it was too restricting"). "I think she wanted people not to confuse the character of Miranda Priestly with Anna Wintour at all," said Frankel. "And that's why early on in the process she decided on a very different look for her and a different approach to the character." The "that's all," "please bore someone else ..." catchphrases; her coat-tossing on Andrea's desk and discarded steak lunch are retained from the novel.

Principal photography took place over 57 days in New York and Paris between October and December 2005. The film's budget was $41 million. It was originally lower, which caused problems with some locations—the crew could not get permission to shoot at the Museum of Modern Art or Bryant Park. Ballhaus, at Finerman and Frankel's suggestion, composed as many shots as possible, whether interiors or exteriors, to at least partially take in busy New York street scenes in the background, to convey the excitement of working in a glamorous industry in New York. He also used a handheld camera during some of the busier meeting scenes in Miranda's office, to better convey the flow of action, and slow motion for Andrea's entrance into the office following her makeover.

In 2016, around the 10th anniversary of the film's release, "Vanity Fair" did a rundown of some Independence Day weekend movie box results from the previous 15 years, noting how some better-remembered films had been bested by films that have not stood the test of time. It called "Superman Returns"' win over "The Devil Wears Prada" the "most ironic" of these victories. "[T]he degree to which "The Devil Wears Prada" has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation–as does the degree to which "Superman Returns" didn't." The cast's opinions on why the movie has endured differ. Hathaway told "Variety" that she thinks many people relate to Andy's predicament of working for someone who seems impossible to please.

The American Film Institute gave the film similar recognition. The film received ample attention from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association when its Golden Globe Award nominations were announced in December. The film itself was in the running for Best Picture (Comedy/Musical) and Supporting Actress (for Blunt). Streep later won the Globe for Best Actress (Musical/Comedy).

Anna Wintour attended the film's New York premiere, wearing Prada. Her friend Barbara Amiel reported that she said shortly afterward that the movie would go straight to DVD. But in an interview with Barbara Walters that aired the day the DVD was released, she called the film "really entertaining" and said she appreciated the "decisive" nature of Streep's portrayal. "Anything that makes fashion entertaining and glamorous and interesting is wonderful for our industry. So I was 100 percent behind it." Streep said Wintour was "probably more upset by the book than the film". Wintour's popularity skyrocketed after her portrayal in "The Devil Wears Prada".

In 2003, 20th Century Fox bought the rights to a film adaptation of Weisberger's novel before it was completed for publication. However, the project was not greenlit until Streep was cast in the lead role. Principal photography lasted 57 days, primarily taking place in New York City from October to December 2005. Additional filming also occurred in Paris. After premiering at the LA Film Festival on June 22, 2006, the film was theatrically released in the United States on June 30. The film received positive reviews from critics, with Streep's performance being singled out for acclaim. This earned her many award nominations, including an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, as well as a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.

Weisberger stated in publicity materials that Priestly's demands are partial fiction and a composite of actual experiences she and her friends had in their first jobs. Some reviewers state that Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of "Vogue", was the inspiration for Priestly. After the film was released, another one of Wintour's assistants was identified as the model for Emily.

Subsequent producers were impressed that she had held her own playing opposite Streep, which led eventually to her being cast in more serious roles like "Rachel Getting Married" and "Les Misérables", for which she won an Oscar. "I think what people saw was promising—it made people want to see more." Hathaway believes that Blunt's career took off because of her role. "I've never witnessed a star being born before," Hathaway says. "That's the first time I watched it happen." Blunt agrees that it was "a night and day change" for her—the day after the film was released, she told "Variety", the staff at the coffee shop she had been going to for breakfast every morning in Los Angeles suddenly recognized her.

The film was a commercial and critical success, grossing $326,551,094. Though co-star Meryl Streep garnered most of the attention for her role, Blunt's performance was equally praised, with Clifford Pugh of the "Houston Chronicle" asserting that "[Blunt] has many of the movie's best lines and steals nearly every scene she's in." Blunt was nominated the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her performance. She attended the 79th Academy Awards where she co-presented the award for best costume design with Hathaway, with both acting as their characters from the film.

Fox bought the rights to Weisberger's novel before it was not only published in 2003, but even finished. Carla Hecken, then the studio's executive vice president, had only seen the first hundred pages of manuscript and an outline for how the rest of the plot was to go. But for her that was enough. "I thought Miranda Priestly was one of the greatest villains ever," she recalled in 2016. "I remember we aggressively went in and scooped it up."

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger about a young woman who is hired as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor, a job that becomes nightmarish as she struggles to keep up with her boss's grueling schedule and demeaning demands. It spent six months on the "New York Times" bestseller list and became the basis for the 2006 film of the same name, starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. The novel is considered by many to be an example of the "chick lit" genre. Upon its publication "The Devil Wears Prada" attracted attention because of its author's background.

An aspiring Romanian filmmaker and actor obsessed with Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway tries to convince her to come to Romania and star alongside him in his upcoming film. He goes to shocking extremes using three local actresses to shoot demo scenes to send to Anne as proof of his filmmaking and acting skills. Adrian explains that the film he is making is not, in reality, "Be My Cat". "Be My Cat" is a film he has written so Anne Hathaway can play the leading role. He states that his interest in Anne and making this film came from her portrayal of Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises", citing a love for cats.

Before writing the novel, Weisberger had worked as a personal assistant for American "Vogue" editor Anna Wintour, much like the novel's protagonist works for a powerful fashion magazine editor, who also happens to be British like Wintour. Reviewers considered the book a "roman à clef", offering insider perspectives on Wintour and other "Vogue" staff. A sequel, "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns", was published in 2013.

Director David Frankel and producer Wendy Finerman had originally read "The Devil Wears Prada" in book proposal form. It would be Frankel's second theatrical feature, and his first in over a decade. He, cinematographer Florian Ballhaus and costume designer Patricia Field, drew heavily on their experience in making "Sex and the City". Frankel recalls the whole experience as having high stakes for those involved, since for himself and the others behind the camera it was the biggest project they had yet attempted, with barely adequate resources. "We knew we were on very thin ice," he told "Variety" for a 2016 article on the film's 10th anniversary.

Streep prepared by reading a book by Wintour protégé Liz Tilberis and the memoirs of "Vogue" editor Diana Vreeland. She lost so much weight during shooting that the clothes had to be taken in. During the movie's press tour she also said her performance as Miranda was inspired by different men she knew, but did not say which ones. In 2016 she disclosed to "Variety" that she took Miranda's soft speaking style from Clint Eastwood: "He never, ever, ever raises his voice and everyone has to lean in to listen, and he is automatically the most powerful person in the room." However, she said, Eastwood does not make jokes, so instead she modeled that aspect of the character on theatrical and film director Mike Nichols, whose delivery of a cutting remark, she said, made everyone laugh, including the target.

Miranda Priestly (born Miriam Princhek; October 25, 1949) is a character in Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel "The Devil Wears Prada", portrayed by Meryl Streep in the 2006 film adaptation of the novel. She is a powerful New York City-based editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion magazine "Runway". She is known as much for her icy demeanor and diva attitude as for her outstanding power within the fashion world.

Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein helped Field as well, with some contributions from Lebanese designer Georges Chakra. Although Field avoids making Streep look like Wintour, she dresses her in generous helpings of Prada (By Field's own estimate, 40% of the shoes on Streep's feet are Prada). "I know her character was originally based on Anna Wintour," Field said, "but I didn't want to copy someone's style." But, like Wintour and her "Vogue" predecessor Diana Vreeland, the two realized that Miranda needed a signature look, which was provided primarily by the white wig and forelock she wore as well as the clothes the two spent much time poring over look-books for.

"I do not think fiction could surpass the reality," a British fashion magazine editor says of "The Devil Wears Prada." "[A]rt in this instance is only a poor imitation of life." Wintour, the editor says, routinely requests to be seated out of sight of competing editors at shows. "We spend our working lives telling people which it-bag to carry but Anna is so above the rest of us she does not even have a handbag."

"As a fashion journalist I can vouch for its gist: that regardless of how immune you think you are to fashion, if you buy clothes, you are indebted to someone else's choice", she wrote in an article about how the fashion industry continues to embrace the speech's argument. "Arguing that you are oblivious to trends is a fashion choice in itself." As an example of how that had happened in reality since the film she cited the yellow Guo Pei dress Rihanna wore to the 2015 Met Gala, greatly popularizing that color for clothing over the next two years.

Lauren Weisberger, a former Wintour assistant who left "Vogue" for "Departures" along with Richard Story, wrote "The Devil Wears Prada" after a writing workshop he suggested she take. It was eagerly anticipated for its supposed insider portrait of Wintour prior to its publication. Wintour told "The New York Times", "I always enjoy a great piece of fiction. I haven't decided whether I am going to read it or not." While it has been suggested that the setting and Miranda Priestly were based on "Vogue" and Wintour, Weisberger claims she drew not only from her own experiences but those of her friends as well.

Initial reviews of the film focused primarily on Streep's performance, praising her for making an extremely unsympathetic character far more complex than she had been in the novel. "With her silver hair and pale skin, her whispery diction as perfect as her posture, Ms. Streep's Miranda inspires both terror and a measure of awe," wrote A. O. Scott in "The New York Times". "No longer simply the incarnation of evil, she is now a vision of aristocratic, purposeful and surprisingly human grace." Kyle Smith agreed at the "New York Post": "The snaky Streep wisely chooses not to imitate "Vogue" editrix Anna Wintour, the inspiration for the book, but creates her own surprisingly believable character." David Edelstein, in "New York" magazine, criticized the film as "thin", but praised Streep for her "fabulous minimalist performance." J.

"I was like, it'd be cool if half of that ended up in the movie," the writer says. "Every word is in the movie." The references to past designer collections are entirely fictional, McKenna explains, since the speech was written around the sweater's color (however, the "Huffington Post" later pointed out, designers often take their fashion inspiration from the streets). The speech has become one of the film's most memorable moments; "Miranda's signature monologue" to "The Ringer". "'Cerulean' [has never] sounded more sinister," the "Huffington Post" wrote in 2016, In 2018 "New York Times" chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman invoked the speech in her defense of the importance of covering "haute couture": Morwenna Ferrier, a fashion reporter for "The Guardian" agreed despite the speech's references to fictional collections.

Among the deleted scenes are some that added more background information to the story, with commentary available by the editor and director. Most were deleted by Livolsi in favor of keeping the plot focused on the conflict between Miranda and Andrea, often without consulting Frankel. Frankel generally approved of his editor's choices, but differed on one scene, showing more of Andrea on her errand to the Calvin Klein showroom. He felt that scene showed Andrea's job was about more than running personal errands for Miranda. A different version of the scene at the gala was the subject of a 2017 discussion on Twitter when it was rediscovered by Spencer Althouse, "Buzzfeed"s community manager.

You just keep wanting to find something that can touch upon the same zeitgeist as this film." For Streep, the most significant thing about the film was that "[t]his was the first time, on any movie I have ever made, where men came up to me and said, 'I know what you felt like, this is kind of like my life.' That was for me the most ground-breaking thing about "Devil Wears Prada"—it engaged men on a visceral level," she told "Indiewire".

That scene wasn't about the fun of fashion, it was about marketing and business." McKenna recalls that she kept expanding it to suit Streep and Frankel, but even a few days before it was scheduled to be filmed she was unsure if it would be used or even shot. She was revising it at a nearby Starbucks when she realized that Miranda would describe something not as just blue—chosen as the color for Andy's sweater since it would work best on screen—but would instead use an exact shade. From a list of shades McKenna sent, Streep picked cerulean; the final speech takes up almost a page of the script, long for a mainstream film.
