"The truth of the matter is—with any film—all we can do is make it," she continued. "The reason that movie felt so special was that we were a team and we did that work, but really it's the love that everybody pours [in]to it."

It was recently revealed that a sequel to the beloved 2006 film was in development at Disney, with both Blunt and Streep, who won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of ice queen editor-in-chief Miranda Priestley in the film, set to return.
Fever for the film is clearly running high off-screen too, as a musical adaptation of the original film, with an original score by Elton John, will open in London's West End in October, with Vanessa Williams set to star as Priestly.
