Aline Brosh McKenna on making 'Your Place or Mine' starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher film and potential The Devil Wears Prada sequel.

In a funny way, I am that wide-open person that I was in my early 30s. Someone left a pizza in the oven for so long that mold was growing out of the box and onto the grills. I’m old enough that I saw the good old days, and I can tell you that there are upsides now. It was a great experience for the first thing I ever shot. So it’s about following the trends in the business and about figuring out who you could put on your dance card who wants to dance that same mambo. Everything has changed so rapidly that the business needs to adjust to where we are now. But I was talking to someone the other day and he said, “I see your work as coming-of-age movies for adults.” I asked him if I could tuck that in my pocket, because that is how I see it. In a 2019 interview, you praised the “sky’s the limit” approach of TV over the corporate nature of film. I had a writing partner, Jeff Kahn, and we had a pilot called Young Americans for Disney and Fox. They’re why I fell in love with the movies I fell in love with. But there are some where I just handed over the script, hoping for the best. The movies that made me want to be a writer were the ones starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck.

This resulted in Streep giving Hathaway the cold shoulder when filming began. “I remember that the best I felt on that movie came where I got out of Meryl’s way with a little bit of grace. To do this, But I never felt in any way like I went toe to toe or held my own. As is the case with many young aspiring actors, Hathaway had always idolized Hathaway’s co-star, Meryl Streep, would also be instrumental in Hathaway getting hired for the job. “Knowing her as I do know, as a person, she’s absolutely delightful. She’s really extraordinary and not to become too gushy, but as a woman, she has absolutely done everything I want to and everything I hope to accomplish. The studio was determined to have her, and she was determined not to do it,” Devil director David Frankel once told It may be difficult for some to imagine anyone else in Hathaway’s starring role in Devil Wears Prada.
