I&#x27;ve never experienced a movie being shot with this much attention,&quot; she remarked.The actress also revealed how the cast and crew are taking extra steps to maintain secrecy: &quot;We&#x27;re trying to keep the mystique — changing in bathrooms to avoid being seen in costume — but there are fans everywhere.&quot;Reflecting on stepping back into her character&#x27;s shoes, she said: &quot;Playing Emily again feels like slipping into a deranged pair of old slippers. She&#x27;s insane, and I love her.&quot;<div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5UBpZCalhyU" title="Andy Sachs Gets A Makeover | The Devil Wears Prada | HBO" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>Production of the The Devil Wears Prada sequel began in June, with cast members spotted shooting around New York. Alongside Emily, returning stars include Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling.As per its IMDb, the sequel follows &quot;Miranda Priestly&#x27;s struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement.&quot;The movie will be released on May 1, 2026.The original The Devil Wears Prada, released in 2006, was based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, which was itself inspired by the author&#x27;s time as assistant to the editor-in-chief at Vogue.In an interview on Good Morning America in September 2024, Emily looked back on her first day on the set of the first The Devil Wears Parada movie.&quot;It was my first big movie and I didn&#x27;t know what to expect. I remember how kind Annie Hathaway was to me,&quot; she recounted.  &quot;And David Frankel, the director, created such a fun environment. You could improv, you could chuck in a thing you wanted in there, and there were no mistakes.&quot;She highlighted that the film taught her to take creative risks. &quot;[You] just throw the kitchen sink at it, &#x27;cause you don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s gonna be funny, and just try to be as free and as loose as possible.&quot;&quot;It was the perfect environment in order to try comedy for the first time, because you could throw anything at the wall to see what would stick. Stanley [Tucci] would have 10 different reads of a line, and Meryl is so agile, she changes it every time, like, you don&#x27;t really know what you&#x27;re going to get with every take.&quot;
