David Frankel [the director] changed my life by casting me when I was an unknown. I\u2019d been working, but no one knew who I was, and he was so sure that he wanted me in the movie, from a taped reading. That meant a huge amount to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Emily \u201cwas such a ludicrous character,\u201c she acknowledged\u2014but in the best way. \u201cIt did leave the door open for people to see me as more than a British period drama girl. It paved the way for character roles, which is all I wanted. I didn\u2019t want to be an ingenue. I was curious to explore an entire bag of tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Blunt didn\u2019t share any details about the sequel yet. But she understands exactly why the original film resonates so much today, nearly 20 years later. \u201cThe movie now is like a nostalgia bank for people,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople have watched that movie 50 times. They\u2019ve watched it with a sick parent; they\u2019ve watched it when they go through a breakup. It has been a source of comfort and escapism. And the movie is really incredible as well. I think it\u2019s a beautiful movie. In many ways, what starts off as a comedy\u2014with the shock factor of the things they say, how they say them, and the ruthless nature of the fashion industry\u2014then turns into something much more poignant and deep. I think it\u2019s that shift in tone that people really gravitate toward.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cWhat David Frankel and [screenwriter] Aline Brosh McKenna did with the script is really clever. That\u2019s a really hard needle to thread in a world that could be deemed superficial, to create such depth in characters. [It also tackles] our understanding of ambition, what it looks like, what it means, what the fallouts are, what the undoing is. It\u2019s a really empowering movie for women as well. Miranda Priestly\u2019s character, if she were male, which the movie touches on, would have been deemed impressive rather than the nicknames that she was on the receiving end of. And I also get why people have really just salivated over all the one-liners; it\u2019s so quotable. It\u2019s delicious. It\u2019s a delicious experience and I get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"11.0\">Read her full interview <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/emily-blunt-2025-interview\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/emily-blunt-2025-interview\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"here\" data-node-id=\"11.0.1\" class=\"body-link css-inlxvj emevuu60\">here<\/a>.<\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.1\"><br data-node-id=\"11.1.0\"\/><\/em><\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-yj5rqk e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-12xbh4x e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Stories<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.elle.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE RUNDOWN ELLE Women in Hollywood honoree Emily Blunt spoke about how The Devil Wears Prada changed the course of her career.
