The Devil Wears Prada 2: Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway Movies to Watch Now - Netflix Tudum
Gird your loins! Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are pairing up once again in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the sequel to the 2006 dramedy about an aspiring journalist (Hathaway) who finds herself working as an assistant to a ruthless fashion magazine editor (Streep). While the sequel is coming 20 years after Streep and Hathaway first walked the Runway halls together, some trends stay the same, and these actors remain in fashion.
Streep’s five-decade career has garnered her three Academy Awards, eight Golden Globes, four Emmys, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and more, with seemingly countless instantly recognizable movies to her name: Sophie’s Choice, Out of Africa, The Bridges of Madison County, Mamma Mia!, Julie & Julia, The Iron Lady, and many more. She’ll soon star in director Cameron Crowe’s Joni Mitchell biopic. Hathaway, meanwhile — who has an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and an Emmy — got her start playing two different princesses in The Princess Diaries and Ella Enchanted before spreading her wings and taking on more dramatic roles, including in Brokeback Mountain, Love & Other Drugs, The Dark Knight Rises, Les Misérables, and Interstellar. Later this year, she’ll star in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Verity, the adaptation of the romantic thriller novel by Colleen Hoover.
But the hits don’t stop there. Put on the Chanel boots and check out these other Hathaway and Streep performances on Netflix.
The Laundromat
This dramedy, directed by Steven Soderbergh, from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, is based on author Jake Bernstein’s nonfiction book about the Panama Papers scandal, Secrecy World. Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) and Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro) star in the movie as a pair of lawyers who serve as narrators. They tell three stories about people who were impacted by their company, Mossack Fonseca, and its international money laundering scheme. Streep plays Ellen Martin, a woman who’s trying to get a life insurance payout for her husband’s (James Cromwell) untimely death.
Colossal
Hathaway stars in this sci-fi black comedy as Gloria, an unemployed writer struggling with alcoholism. After her boyfriend kicks her out, she moves back to her hometown in New Hampshire, where she reunites with her childhood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis), who runs his late father’s bar. Oscar and his friends welcome Gloria into the fold, and seem thrilled to have a new drinking buddy. But after one too many blurry nights, Gloria makes a shocking discovery: When she walks through a local playground, a terrifying kaiju manifests in Korea — and perfectly mirrors her every move. Nacho Vigalondo (Superstar) directed this movie, which co-stars Tim Blake Nelson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Austin Stowell (Keep Breathing), and Dan Stevens (Apostle).
Don't Look Up
A comet is hurtling toward Earth, and two astronomers — played by Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another) and Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love) — are trying to get anyone to care. This Oscar-nominated black comedy by director Adam McKay (The Big Short) follows Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence) as they scream into the void about the end of the world. Streep portrays Janie Orlean, the President of the United States.
The Last Thing He Wanted
Directed by Dee Rees (Mudbound) and based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Joan Didion, The Last Thing He Wanted is a political thriller starring Hathaway as Elena McMahon, a journalist who becomes entangled in her father’s (Willem Dafoe) arms deal while trying to break a story. The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020 and also co-stars Ben Affleck (The Accountant), Rosie Perez (Do the Right Thing), Edi Gathegi (Superman), Mel Rodriguez (The Last Man on Earth), and Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).
The Prom
Ryan Murphy (Glee) directs this movie based on the Broadway musical of the same name. Streep stars as Dee Dee Allen, a Tony Award–winning actress whose latest play closes after opening night. But when she and her castmate Barry Glickman (James Corden) learn about a cause they think can revitalize their images, they jump at the chance. Now, they’re angling to help a high school in rural Indiana that cancels its prom because a teen girl, Emma (Jo Ellen Pellman), wants to attend with her girlfriend, Alyssa (Ariana DeBose). Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu), Andrew Rannells (Girls), Kerry Washington (Scandal), and others co-star.
