October 5th 2024.
Attention all fans of 2000s cinema! Get ready to celebrate because two of the most beloved movies from that era are making a comeback with brand new sequels. That's right, "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Princess Diaries" are both getting a follow-up story. And the best part? Original stars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are expected to reprise their roles, along with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci from "The Devil Wears Prada."
For those who may have missed out on these iconic films the first time around, let's do a quick recap. "The Princess Diaries" introduced us to Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, a young aspiring journalist who takes a job as an assistant to the intimidating fashion designer Miranda Priestly. And in "The Princess Diaries," Anne played Mia, a teenage girl who discovers she is the heir to a small European country after her father's passing. The film was so successful that it even spawned a sequel, "Royal Engagement," in 2004.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for another installment for years, and now their prayers have been answered. It was rumored back in 2015 that there would be a sequel, but nothing came to fruition. However, this week, it was officially confirmed that both "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Princess Diaries" will be getting sequels. Anne, who plays the lead in both movies, will have to clear her schedule as shooting is expected to begin on November 30.
While nothing has been officially announced, sources have revealed that the new "Devil Wears Prada" sequel will focus on the decline of print media in a world of ever-evolving technology. And for "The Princess Diaries," Anne has shared the exciting news on her Instagram that a third film is in the works. The star will also be producing and starring in the movie, with "Crazy Rich Asians" director Adele Lim at the helm.
But these are not the only legacy sequels in the works. Fans can also look forward to the release of "Paddington in Peru," which follows the beloved bear as he visits his aunt Lucy in Peru. And in "Moana 2," the gutsy young hero will embark on a new adventure with her demigod friend Maui and silly chicken Heihei. Disney is also working on sequels to "The Lion King," "Zootopia," and "Frozen."
For those looking for something less family-friendly, there's "Toy Story 5," where Woody, Buzz, and the gang face a new threat to their playtime from technology and kids' lack of interest in physical toys. And for fans of the crude 1996 sports comedy "Happy Gilmore," get ready for a sequel with Adam Sandler reprising his role as the angry golfer and Julie Bowen returning as Virginia Venit.
If you're excited about these upcoming sequels, you're not alone. We can't wait to see our favorite characters back on the big screen and find out what new adventures they'll be going on. And who knows, maybe we'll even get to see some new faces joining the cast. Stay tuned for more updates on these highly anticipated movies.
