The Devil Wears Prada 2 press rollout buried the actual movie
Plan (drafter input)
Devil Wears Prada 2 came out May 1 and the Walk of Fame ceremony for Tucci and Blunt was literally the same day — serving as a press stop. Emma's angle: the movie didn't need to exist, but watching Meryl Streep praise Tucci's 'elegance' while Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon showed up for him specifically is the most compelling thing about this whole rollout. The real movie is the ceremony. Button: sometimes the PR event is better than the actual IP.

Body
Okay so Devil Wears Prada 2 opens May 1. The day before, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt got joint stars on the Walk of Fame at a ceremony that was also, explicitly, a press stop for the sequel. And I cannot stop thinking about this.
Because here's the thing. Robert Downey Jr. showed up. Matt Damon showed up. Dwayne Johnson showed up. Meryl Streep gave a speech about Tucci's elegance and said he transforms character acting into leading man material. Blunt joked that they are over-related and spend too much time together and now they're doing a press tour together. Tucci thanked her by pretending to forget her name. The whole thing was warm and weird and genuinely moving and the IP machine accidentally produced something no sequel can compete with.
The press event was the movie. A four-decade career, a real family, speakers who actually love these people, a joint induction that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce called rare. That's a story. The sequel is just the sequel. Sometimes the best argument against making the thing is everything that happened the day before it came out.
