4K Digital Review of The Devil Wears Prada 2

 

The Devil Wears Prada 2 focuses on the original characters twenty years later. When the first movie came out, the iPhone was a year away and social media was yet to be a thing. So, exploring the fashion industry in today's world, is a very interesting take. 

The film opens with Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs accepting an award for her entire journalist team and finding out they have all just been fired. Andy finds her way back to Miranda Priestley's (Meryl Streep) Runway Magazine and our story goes from there.

Watching both Priestly and Sachs dealing with social media trends and short attention spans is all too relevant. Having run my own site for over 15 years made the story very compelling to me. I really liked that instead of handling this in a cynical way, they took a how do we adapt and survive to change approach.

Video:

The streaming 4K video is pristine featuring crystal clear details on the materials of the fashion and accurate coloring on skin tones. A wonderful transfer from Disney.

Audio:

The Dolby Atmos track offers clean dialogue audio and a wonderful surrounding score.

TRAILER AND POSTER FOR DISNEY’S “HEXED”

 

The first trailer and poster for Disney’s “Hexed,” an all-new magical coming-of-age saga releasing in theaters November 25, are here. The original animated film is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 65^th animated feature.

 

Joining previously announced voice cast members Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones are seven-time Emmy Award® winner Tracey Ullman (“The Tracey Ullman Show,” “Tracey Takes On…,” “Bullets Over Broadway,” “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”) who voices the enchanted feather quill pen Ms. Quill, and Stephen Fry (“The Interrogator,” “The Hobbit” trilogy, “Gosford Park,” “Jeeves and Wooster,” “V for Vendetta”) as the magical journal Elias Quire.

 

The new trailer introduces the impulsive and unconventional teenage girl Billie (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and her cautious mother Alice (voiced by Rashida Jones). When Billie accidentally unleashes secret magical abilities, she’s hurtled out of suburbia and into a magical realm called Hexe, where she’s greeted by Ms. Quill (voiced by Tracey Ullman) and Elias Quire (voiced by Stephen Fry). As Billie’s spectacle-filled journey unfolds, she discovers family mysteries that could change the magical world of witches forever.

Director Fawn Veerasunthorn said, “A wonderfully strange phenomenon is happening all around Billie, something she can’t explain. She's someone who has felt miscast in her own life, and it takes leaving her normal world behind and entering a hidden world of wild, unhinged magic to begin to understand herself.”

 

“Hexe is a place where Billie begins to feel seen for the first time in her life,” director Jason Hand said. “She embarks on a journey of self-discovery that reveals a powerful connection to magic, and in the process uncovers long-held secrets about her family.”

 

Disney’s “Hexed” is directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, co-directed by Josie Trinidad, and produced by Roy Conli and Yvett Merino. The film opens exclusively in theaters November 25, 2026.
