Emily Blunt talks about The Devil Wears Prada 2

In an interview with Variety, Emily Blunt spoke about shooting for The Devil Wears Prada 2. She said that the experience has been overwhelming and stated that reprising the role of Emily felt like going into "old slippers."

"Overwhelming — in a good way. I’ve never experienced a movie being shot with this much attention. We’re trying to keep the mystique — changing in bathrooms to avoid being seen in costume — but there are fans everywhere. Playing Emily again feels like slipping into a deranged pair of old slippers. She’s insane, and I love her."

In September, the actress spoke to People magazine about the film. She said,

"It has deep emotional roots for a lot of us. It’s not just doing a movie.”
