This is actually brilliant 😄

I could live with this casting @Lilja K

And finally

Coonie Nielsen deserved better. Her poster is by far the worst.

Good to know this is supposed to be her 😅 Real Syndey is much better.

I think the first movie was by miles the best. It spooked the shit out of me 🤣

According to Imdb Harry Gregson-Williams is responsible for the soundtrack this time. He worked with Scott before on KoH, The Martian, House of Gucci, The Last Duel, and Prometheus.

It's still astounding to me they didn't messed this up lol @Lilja K Even though I'm one of the less people who hadn't a good time during Top Gun 2 so there is that 🤣

I mostly agree with this 👇 @Lilja K There’s been a lot of talk about a possible film sequel to The Devil Wears Prada as Entertainment Weekly is confirming that the cast is in talks – and that means all four of the majors: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Also the original director, David Frankel, and the original screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna. Do you want it? I mean, I don’t not want it. But what would it look like? Sure, some of the story elements are still there...ish. Runway is Vogue and Vogue is still around. Miranda Priestley is Anna Wintour and Anna is still around. But in the 18 years since the film premiered, magazine publishing is not what it used to be. Understatement. Digital publishing isn’t what it used to be either. Magazines and online publications are struggling. Part of what made The Devil Wears Prada fun was that it was a glimpse into the world of magazine publishing at its peak. Does that fun go away now, almost 20 years later, when everyone is on a f-cking budget and Runway/Vogue has downsized so much? Also, like so much of pop culture, what was socially acceptable as “bitchy” comedy back then certainly does not work now. And “bitchy” is basically The Devil Wears Prada’s mood board. What might be interesting though, to me at least, is how the sequel might address workplace standards and how those have changed. Yes, yes, the fashion, the glamour, all of that was certainly what made the movie irresistible but at the heart of the story was the boss-assistant relationship between Miranda and Andy or, Ahhhhn-dreya, which is what Miranda called her. Miranda often abused her power, not unlike so many executives then – and still now. But back in 2006, we weren’t talking about it in the mainstream. We weren’t posting about sh-tty bosses on Twitter and TikTok. We just ate sh-t all day at work, and on the weekends, without extra pay. And vented to close friends but there really wasn’t any outlet to put that frustration, and certainly no “quiet quitting”, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. “Quiet quitting” is very much a Gen Z thing. This generation’s approach to work is very much different from the ones that came before. They’re not going over to their boss’s place to deliver the book wellllll after working hours or chasing down the unpublished manuscript of the newest Harry Potter book. Instead they’d probably post a TikTok and put their boss on blast for asking them to chase down a book written by a TERF. And that would go viral and maybe the boss would have to apologise publicly with a notes app statement on Instagram. Ironically, though, The Devil Wears Prada was the 2003 version of that scene – only Lauren Weisberger had to write a whole ass book, like 70,000 words, get a publisher to publish it, and change all the names! And it only made Anna Wintour MORE famous! But maybe that’s where you set the story. Or maybe it’s Andy, who was trained in the old ways by Miranda, who can’t get away with them now that she’s in the same stage of her career that Miranda was in when we met her in the first movie. There’s something to play with there, and I’m curious to see if that’s the direction they go in. If they can get all these deals done. Right now, even though everyone is assuming it’s done, it’s happening, it sounds like they’re still in negotiations. I would imagine a lot of that has to do with the story? None of these people NEED to make this movie. They have to want to make this movie…and that depends on what it is that the movie is trying to say.

Adorable 😍

^first look

Sounds intense @Lilja K

Already in love with them Florence is adorable @Lilja K ... and heartbreaking 💔

In other Scott news. FINALLY!!! If you haven't seen the DC of "Kingdom of Heaven" but just the theatrically released version you haven't seen the right movie. Just sayin. Ridley Scott's 4-Hour ‘Napoleon: The Director's Cut' is Coming Soon Ridley Scott's “Napoleon: The Director's Cut” is potentially coming very soon. It's just been rated R for strong violence, grisly images, sexual content, some nudity and language. This signifies clear intent on the part of Apple TV to make it available on their platform. In late August 2023, we had broken the news that Scott was working on a director’s cut of “Napoleon” and that it would clock in at over 4 hours. It’s obviously piqued our interest since then. The theatrically released version had some narrative holes in it, and a director’s cut could potentially cure that. Scott later told Total Film that it would be made available after the film’s November release. He called his lengthier cut “Fantastic” … Well, we’re still waiting, Ridley. Produced and financed by Apple, Scott’s epic reunited the filmmaker with Joaquin Phoenix as the European conquering emperor. It received mixed reviews from critics, but I actually liked the subversive way in which Scott told his story. I imagine the 4-hour cut is very different in terms of scope and tone. Scott is no stranger to “Director’s Cuts.” We all know about the multiple “Blade Runner” versions that exist. That film became a sci-fi classic only years after its release, when audiences discovered Scott’s originally intended version. Further, Scott’s Crusades epic, “Kingdom of Heaven,” originally released in the summer of 2005 to negative reviews, had a new version released on DVD, which had more than an hour's worth of deleted footage. The result? A 210-minute cut with character development, less plot holes and a much-improved story. Hopefully, lightning will strike again with “Napoleon: The Director’s Cut”

Gladiator II facing his first crisis. At least people talking about it. ‘Gladiator II' Trailer Faces Backlash: Over 125k YouTube Dislikes

Not a surprising decision. Kevin Costner's ‘Horizon' Pulled From August Release Schedule

^At least this 2nd part makes me want to watch part 1 finally so.... it's already on my watchlist For me it's always a good first sign when some of the OG cast is returning @Lilja K but it's rare that a sequel ever comes close to the original. Same for most remakes.

People don't know sh!t these days. If he would sittin like this all night and day for my house waitin I would kick everyone else out forever 😄

HOT @Lilja K Zoë Kravitz Joins Austin Butler In Darren Aronofsky's ‘Caught Stealing’

Sighting of Boyd in 🇬🇧 via his sis 💘

This is exactly what many people seem to think about Gladiator 2. Just saying. What makes me wonder what movie really needs amother part after so many time? And what makes this one unnecessary but Gladiator 2 necessary for you? Just curious.
