• Director David Frankel said Gisele Bündchen did not return because she was pregnant and away during last summer’s shoot, and he dropped a Nate cameo for Adrian Grenier due to a tight finishing schedule.
• Critics from O Globo and Diário do Nordeste praise the chemistry and call out timely themes about newsroom pressures and corporate control.
• Meryl Streep said Anne Hathaway asked producers to avoid using extremely thin runway models, a move Streep described as firm and admirable.
• Simone Ashley positions her new character, Amari, as distinct from Andy Sachs, describing her as more perceptive and self-assured, while KT Tunstall teases a follow-up to Suddenly I See that is not on the official soundtrack.
