'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Filmmakers on How They Nailed the Fall of Fashion Magazines

WARNING: This episode contains SPOILERS for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.'

This is my full interview with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna. After talking to them both when I was writing 'Anna: The Biography,' I couldn't wait to hear about how they put this movie together after TWENTY YEARS. Who and what were they skewering? Did the film get too close to its source material, Anna Wintour? How did Lady Gaga enter the picture? And... will there be a THIRD movie?!
