The Devil Wears Prada 2: Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci | The Tonight Show

0:01 -Let's talk about "The Devil Wears Prada 2." The trailer...

0:03 Cheers and applause] The trailer alone had like 222 million views.

0:08 -It did okay.

0:09 -Yeah.

0:09 It's the most-viewed trailer in the history of 20th century.

0:12 Congrats.

0:13 The sequel— I mean, it's been talked about for 20 years,

0:17 but when did it feel like it actually might happen, it might be real?

0:20 -When did it— Oh, my gosh.

0:22 Well, it was such a crazy idea that it could happen that, for so many years,

0:26 it was like people would ask, and I'd be like, "There's no way.

0:29 I mean, you can't come back to that.

0:32 The world is so different." And then we got the call that Aline Brosh McKenna,

0:36 our writer, and David Frankel, our director,

0:38 had found a way in that was going to be able

0:40 to talk about all this stuff that we've been going through.

0:43 And we got the script.

0:45 It was great.

0:46 It got greenlit like that.

0:47 We were on set like that.

0:49 -You got Meryl Streep.

0:50 -Oh, my gosh.

0:51 -You have Emily Blunt.

0:52 You have Stanley Tucci.

0:52 Come on.

0:53 You got it all back.

0:53 -But here's the thing.

0:55 It was so big.

0:56 The crowds were amazing.

0:58 And so we just kind of had to, again, lock in, eye on the ball.

1:00 So I didn't actually realize what we'd done

1:02 until I was on my way to the premiere.

1:04 -Really?

1:06 -I was in a sprinter van, standing up in this beautiful dress by Louis Vuitton,

1:09 which I didn't want to get anything

1:11 on, so I was actually wearing the garment bag.

1:12 And— Try it.

1:15 And so...

1:17 -You had a dress and a bag over the dress?

1:19 -Naturally.

1:20 -Wow!

1:21 -And I was, like, on my way to the premiere and I was like, "Oh, my God.

1:24 We made 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.'" -Yeah.

1:27 Yes, you actually did.

1:28 -Oh.

1:28 And it's just like all of these memories just, like, came flooding back,

1:31 and one of them— this is going to blow your mind,

1:34 because it just came back to me tonight.

1:36 We used to play a game on the first one, which was Worst Word.

1:39 -Yes.

1:40 -And Emily Blunt's worst words were

1:43 "moist ointment."[ Laughter] -"Moist ointment." Oh!

1:50 That totally wins.

1:52 I didn't even think about "moist ointment." -Moist ointment.

1:54 -Ugh!

1:54 Moist ointment.

1:55 There's so many classic quotes from the original

1:58 "Devil Wears Prada." It has a cult following.

2:01 Everyone loves it.

2:02 The Internet should thank you for all the quotes.

2:05 I thought it could be kind of fun if maybe we ranked the quotes.

2:10 -Okay, but you guys gotta help.

2:11 Cheers and applause] Okay.

2:13 -So, I'm gonna give you a quote,

2:14 and then we're going to go 1-through-6 ranking of where the quote lands.

2:18 Are you ready for this?

2:19 -Yes.

2:19 I don't know.

2:20 Let's try.

2:21 -Alright.

2:21 The first one is— And you can't move them once you place them.

2:25 -Oh, so this is like a psychic test.

2:26 Okay.

2:26 -Oh, yeah.

2:27 Wherever it lands, it has to stay.

2:29 -Okay.

2:30 -"Florals?

2:31 For spring?

2:32 Groundbreaking." -Don't start with that one.

2:33 Oh, no!

2:34 What do you guys think?

2:35 Like— -3.

2:36 -3.

2:37 3, right?

2:38 3.

2:38 -Oh, wow.

2:39 Alright.

2:39 Very confident 3.

2:41 That's a good one.

2:41 -You guys are real fans.

2:42 -Yeah.

2:43 Here we go.

2:44 -You guys have been waiting for this.

2:45 Okay.

2:45 -Alright, here we go.

2:46 Alright, now, how about this one?

2:47 "Okay.

2:48 Can you please spell Gabbana?" -Because it's me—

2:53 -"Can you please spell Gabbana?"[ Indistinct shouting] -6.

2:57 6.

2:59 I'm gonna go 6.

3:00 -You're gonna go 6?

3:00 "Can you please spell Gabbana?" is 6.

3:03 -By the way, we were at a fan event,

3:05 and I thought I would spell Gabbana and I spelled it wrong.

3:08 Laughter] In front of everybody.

3:10 -Yeah.

3:11 Of course in front of everybody.

3:12 Why not?

3:12 -There's two B's.

3:13 -Why not?

3:15 Yeah.

3:16 "Details of your incompetence do not interest me." -Oh, I love that one.

3:21 -This is Miranda.

3:22 Indistinct shouting] -Okay.

3:24 2.

3:25 -You're gonna say 2.

3:26 -No.

3:26 I'm not.

3:27 I'm not.

3:27 Okay.

3:28 -I mean, there's other— -4.

3:29 4.

3:29 -There's three others.

3:30 -I'm gonna do 4.

3:31 -Alright, Miranda— -Guys, we know what's coming.

3:34 -We do know what's coming.

3:35 -Gotta be strong, you guys.

3:36 These are all great lines, but we gotta hold it.

3:39 -I know.

3:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3:40 Alright, this one— This says, "Oh, I'm sorry.

3:43 Do you have some prior commitment?

3:45 Some hideous-skirt convention you have to go to?" -2.

3:48 2.

3:49 -That's a 2.

3:50 -This is a personal one.

3:52 This is my actual favorite line in the whole movie.

3:54 I can't get through it without laughing.

3:55 So that's my personal 2.

3:57 -That's your personal 2.

3:59 -We can argue about it at the commercial break.

4:01 Okay.

4:03 -"That sweater is not just blue.

4:06 It's not just turquoise.

4:07 It's not lapis.

4:07 It's actually cerulean."[ Indistinct shouting]

4:12 -Just— I'm just gonna do something.

4:14 -No.

4:14 I'm not looking.

4:15 I'm not looking.

4:16 Are you sure?

4:17 Oh, my gosh.

4:18 I'm not looking.

4:19 Where did it go?

4:20 -Nothing happened.

4:21 -Nothing happened.

4:22 -Nothing happened.

4:23 -It is— Alright.

4:24 And then— Well, we only have spot for number 1.

4:27 But this is the quote.

4:29 "Gird your loins." -"Gird your loins"!

4:33 Cheers and applause]♪♪ -That's a good list.

4:36 That's a great list right there.

4:37 Come on.

4:38 -I had to jump in.

4:38 I couldn't let it stand.

4:39 -You had to do it.

4:40 That's good.

4:40 -I had to do it.

4:41 -There's so many great ones.

4:41 I love all of them.

4:42 Let's talk about "Devil Wears Prada 2." Everyone's excited about this, bud.

4:46 It's back.

4:47 Cheers and applause] We've been waiting for this movie for two decades,

4:52 and it's finally almost here.

4:54 This is your fourth time working with Meryl Streep.

4:56 -I know.

4:56 -Who is just the coolest.

4:57 -I can't figure out who's stalking who in these movies.

5:01 But she is the coolest person ever.

5:03 Do you know she's good at, like, everything?

5:04 -Yeah.

5:04 She is, right?

5:05 -Of course she's brilliant at acting, but she's an amazing drawer.

5:08 -Yes.

5:09 -Is that a word, a drawer?

5:10 I just suddenly— -Sure.

5:11 -Let's say artist.

5:12 She's an amazing artist.

5:13 She knits brilliantly.

5:15 And she does the most astonishing pratfall,

5:18 which I saw her do during "Mary Poppins." She

5:20 went from completely upright like that on the floor.

5:23 -She's funny.

5:23 Yeah, she's great.

5:24 -And was fine.

5:26 Like, unscathed.

5:27 She was like, "Watch this," and did it.

5:28 -She knows how to do everything, yeah.

5:30 -Yeah, she's unreal.

5:30 -It's a great cast.

5:31 I love everybody in this movie.

5:33 I can't wait for you guys to see it.

5:34 How do we set up where the sequel picks up?

5:37 -So, uh, basically, we're on rather unstable ground

5:42 as the digital overlords rule the fashion industry now.

5:45 -Yes.

5:45 -And so you see Miranda in that sort of different dynamic.

5:49 And my character, Emily, now has a top executive role at a big, high-end brand.

5:54 -Yeah.

5:54 -So she's wielding power and loving it.

5:58 -Yes.

5:58 Perfect.

5:59 And it's super funny, by the way.

6:01 If you guys need a good laugh, go check this movie out.

6:03 It's so great.

6:04 I cannot wait for everyone to see "The Devil Wears Prada 2," it's fantastic.

6:08 You're great in it.

6:09 -Thank you.

6:10 Thank you.

6:10 -Everybody's great.

6:12 It's funny.

6:13 It's stylish.

6:14 It's cool.

6:14 And I just thought it was funny how art imitates life and life

6:18 imitates— There was a shot of you and Meryl Streep in Milan.

6:22 You went to a fashion show.

6:23 -Yeah.

6:24 -In character, though.

6:25 -Yeah.

6:25 -For the movie.

6:26 -Yeah.

6:27 -And you're just, what?

6:28 Here's you at the fashion show.

6:30 Is that Dolce Gabbana?

6:31 -Yeah.

6:32 -Now, is it confusing for— -I was so confused.

6:36 -You're like— -No, I'm not— I'm not even going to pretend I wasn't confused.

6:38 I was very confused because I thought, "Oh,

6:41 I'm here going to this fashion show." And yet there I'm supposed to be...

6:47 -Nigel.

6:48 -Nigel.

6:49 But luckily they were— -Were people yelling "Stanley"?

6:51 -Yeah.

6:52 Well, both.

6:53 It was, like, the whole thing was weird.

6:55 -You were like, "I'm not Stanley, I'm Nigel." Yeah.

6:59 Hello?

6:59 Wake up.

7:00 -Yeah.

7:00 -This is your third film with Meryl Streep?

7:02 -Yeah.

7:03 This is it.

7:04 Laughter] -Yeah.

7:05 Enough is enough.

7:07 -No.

7:07 -Enough is enough.

7:08 -You can only carry someone on your shoulders for so long.

7:12 -That's right.

7:13 And Meryl has carried you a long way.

7:15 -Yeah.

7:15 That's true.

7:16 That's true.

7:17 -Where did you first meet?

7:18 Do you remember meeting?

7:18 -I don't know.

7:19 I don't know.

7:20 We met through mutual friends,

7:22 I think Aidan Quinn and Liam Neeson and his late wife, Natasha.

7:28 And then we just became friends.

7:29 And then we ended up doing "The Devil Wears Prada." And then

7:34 she and Nora asked me to do "Julie& Julia." -That's right.

7:37 -And then— Yeah, we've always been friends.

7:40 -I saw somewhere you said that she's— she's, uh...

7:43 It's challenging or it's not fun to play charades with her.

7:46 It's not fair, maybe.

7:47 -No.

7:47 She's amazing.

7:47 No, she's too good.

7:49 -She's too good.

7:50 That's right.

7:50 It's not fair to play charades with Meryl Streep.

7:52 Is it because of her acting or?

7:53 -Yeah.

7:54 -Or guessing?

7:55 -Everything.

7:55 She's just brilliant.

7:57 She has a mind that— She's brilliant.

8:00 -Yeah.

8:00 Did you guys always know you were going to do a sequel to this?

8:04 -No, no, no.

8:06 There were mutterings for like 20 years.

8:09 And then, you know, as we got closer to the 20th anniversary,

8:13 it seemed to— People were like, [mutters].

8:16 But eventually it happened.

8:18 But I'm glad it happened now because part of the story, when you see it,

8:23 you'll see part of the story is about where magazines are today,

8:29 where journalism is today, and where people's jobs are today.

8:35 -Yeah.

8:36 -Right.

8:37 -That is interesting.

8:38 -With AI and all that stuff.

8:39 So that's very much a part of the film.

8:42 -It's become— It has like a cult following to it, as well, this film.

8:45 -Yeah.

8:46 -It's super fun.

8:47 The Internet should thank you for all the quotable memes and lines.

8:53 "Gird your loins." -Yes.

8:56 Yeah.

8:56 -You had— You came up with "gird your loins." Was that in the original script?

9:01 -No.

9:01 No.

9:02 No, David— It was David Frankel who— We came up with a list of them,

9:06 and David was the one who came up with that.

9:08 I had a few of them which didn't make it in because,

9:12 you know, we'd have a different rating.

9:14 -Yeah.

9:14 Of course.

9:15 Yeah.

9:15 -Yeah.

9:15 -And after making the first movie,

9:18 Emily Blunt now has become your sister-in-law.

9:21 -Yes.

9:22 -You're married to her sister, Felicity.

9:24 Beautiful.

9:24 I met her backstage.

9:26 Congratulations.

9:26 -Yes.

9:26 Thank you.

9:27 -Is that— -Thank you.

9:29 -Amazing how that comes about.

9:30 -No, it's— The whole thing is weird.

9:33 -Yeah.

9:34 -No, but it's also so wonderful.

9:36 -Yeah.

9:36 -I love Emily.

9:37 She was my friend.

9:38 She was only 22 years old when we did the film.

9:41 I was 75.

9:42 -Oh, my gosh.

9:43 Oh, my gosh.

9:45 That's right.

9:45 -You know, but yeah.

9:46 Yeah.

9:47 -Well, I heard that on your wedding day, you had,

9:50 instead of a wedding cake, you had wheels of cheese.

9:52 -Yeah.

9:53 Yeah.

9:54 Because Felicity and I, we don't like sweet things.

9:57 We just like— -I've never heard of having— -We like cheese.

10:00 -Yes.

10:00 It's genius.

10:01 -Cheese.

10:02 -Everyone likes cheese.

10:02 -Cheese, pasta, and meat.

10:04 You know, you can throw in a macaroon every now and again.

10:07 -Every now and then.

10:08 -Yeah.

10:08 I don't care.

10:09 -How do we set up the sequel?

10:10 What can people look forward to?

10:12 -I think they can look forward to having a good time,

10:15 understanding where we are in the world today,

10:18 with regards to journalism and such.

10:21 But really, I just hope that, you know,

10:24 the world right now, right now, as we know,

10:28 is in a difficult place, so I think it will be a wonderful, um, bit of escapism.

10:34 -Yeah, exactly.

10:34 Go.

10:35 Have a party.

10:36 Watch this.
