Filming of The Devil Wears Prada 2 has attracted large crowds in Soho, particularly with scenes capturing Anne Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs. The public has gained access to filming locations, turning the city into an open set, unlike typical secured movie productions. Fans share filming tips and clips on social media, creating a buzz akin to a mini-industry rivaling paparazzi. The crew filmed at notable locations like the McGraw-Hill Building, allowing spectators to directly engage with the production, including interactions with stars like Meryl Streep.
Over the last week of July, the crew filmed at the McGraw-Hill Building, at 1221 Sixth Avenue, where a scene or two was filmed in what looks like a conference room with windows on two sides over the schmoozy Oceana Grill.
It's a mini-industry that rivals the paparazzi, but typically movie sets are more locked down and the action is kept out of sight.
The open sets are turning the city into a Devil Wears Prada 2 backdrop, in which watching the strangers watching the scene becomes part of the spectacle.
Standing mere feet from the action and the rolling cameras? 'This is unheard of,' Blank says.
