The Devil Wears Prada

Trivia: Rachel McAdams was offered the role of Andy more than once, but she wanted to do fewer "mainstream" movies. Anne Hathaway was concerned because the movie involved Andy going through a "makeover", similar to her character in the "Princess Diaries" movies. However, she accepted because she wanted to work with Meryl Streep.

Trivia: During the movie, Miranda Priestley never shouts or yells. Meryl Streep (actress) was inspired by Clint Eastwood, who can intimidate others while staying relatively quiet.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Andy and Miranda are in the limo in Paris, they pull up to the curb and there is a bunch of press waiting as Miranda opens the door. However, when the shot changes, it is not the same group of people - in particular, there is a balding photographer who should be standing right there but is nowhere to be seen. It all happens too quickly for that much change.

Questions

Question: Can anyone please explain to me the deal about Nigel not getting a job in Paris? He thought he got promoted then Miranda picked someone else or something and he says something like 'when the time is right, she'll pay me back'. I've seen this film loads of times but I've never fully understood what happened. Thanks.

Chosen answer: Miranda was going to be replaced by Jaqueline and forced to retire. Miranda worked a deal to give Nigel's new job to Jaqueline instead. Since Jaqueline now has a job she wants, there is no one eager or qualified to replace Miranda. Miranda keeps her job. Nigel doesn't get a new job and must remain with Miranda. Miranda gets what she wants, Jaqueline gets what she wants, Nigel gets screwed, but maintains the (most likely futile) hope that Miranda will pay him back by some other means in due course.

Answer: Nigel was going to be James Holt's partner But Miranda made it so Jacqueline got or instead so Miranda could remain Editor in Chief at Runway.
