Streep rejects "chick flick" label for 'The Devil Wears Prada'
Meryl Streep isn't a fan of calling The Devil Wears Prada a "chick flick."
On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she said that label downplays movies with female leads and pointed to Barbie's massive success as proof these films matter.
Streep summed it up simply: The Devil Wears Prada was categorized as a "chick flick," and that designation has kind of not worn well.
'The Devil Wears Prada 2' studio-backed
Streep also shared that the original film had to make do with a small budget, which makes its success even sweeter.
Now, the upcoming sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, has strong studio support and is set to hit theaters on May 1. She'll return as Miranda Priestly alongside Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
Plus, Streep also has Netflix's limited series The Corrections among her upcoming projects.
