Episode description
When director David Frankel signed on to adapt the novel The Devil Wears Prada into a movie, he didn’t realize he’d be up against the real Miranda Priestly herself: Anna Wintour.
This week Chris, Lizzie, and very special guest Jameela Jamil discover how it took 5 tries to find the right screenwriter, why Anne Hathaway was the 9th choice to play Andy Sachs, and how fear of retribution from Anna Wintour almost shut the whole thing down. Find out why Meryl Streep went method with her role, how Emily Blunt totally transformed her character, and why a scandal brewing in Anne Hathaway’s personal life bled over onto set.
