Fans Spot Glaring Movie Mistake in The Devil Wears Prada 2 Trailer
Observant fans have identified a conspicuous error in the final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, which premiered on Monday. The mistake occurs during a scene where Andrea 'Andy' Sachs, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, confidently walks through a bustling crosswalk. In the background, a woman can be seen extending her arm from a yellow taxi van, clearly filming the 43-year-old Oscar-winning actress on her iPhone.
Uncontrolled Public During Filming
While most individuals on the crosswalk were likely paid extras, director David Frankel and his production team could not manage the general public in the vicinity during on-location shooting. This incident is not isolated; on August 5, a photographer captured a crowd dining outdoors while watching Hathaway and her co-star Patrick Brammall, who plays Peter, film a date scene.
Social Media Reactions
The error quickly sparked reactions on social media platform X, with users sharing their amusement and observations:
- X user @filmsactress tweeted: 'This girl having her phone just wide out the window in the trailer is frying me.'
- @supremesappho commented: 'People will say she's a first timer tourist in New York.'
- @LilyBrookeh added: 'I mean, we all would.'
- @rudyfunkmeyer agreed: 'Because that's Andy Sachs. A million girls would kill for that job!'
- @INS0MNlATlC noted: 'But that's very tourist in NYC core.'
- @KingbossaVibez wrote: 'And the camera captured her completely LOL!'
Additional Trailer Details
Another element that garnered attention in the highly-anticipated sequel's preview was the background song, Runway, an upcoming duet by pop star Lady Gaga and rapper Doechii. The 40-year-old singer, also known as Mother Monster, appears in a scene shot in Milan, though it remains unclear whether she portrays a character or a thinly-veiled version of herself, as reported by Variety.
Star-Studded Cast and Production
The 20th Century Studios comedy features an impressive ensemble cast, including Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, B. J. Novak, Rachel Bloom, Sydney Sweeney, Donatella Versace, Ciara, and Ashley Graham. With an eye-popping budget of $150 million, the film is scheduled for release in US and UK theaters on May 1.
The original 2006 film, adapted from Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel, received critical acclaim and grossed $326.7 million globally from a $41 million budget. Many key crew members have returned for the sequel, including original director and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, producers Wendy Finerman and Karen Rosenfelt, cinematographer Florian Ballhaus, makeup department head Nicki Ledermann, and music supervisor Julia Michels. However, costume designer Patricia Field has been replaced by her former associate Molly Rogers, who previously worked on HBO Max's And Just Like That.
