'We started negotiating with Annie to make a deal, and that didn't go well with the studio.... We offered it to Rachel McAdams three times. The studio was determined to have her, and she was determined not to do it,' director David Frankel told EW.

But Hathaway, who played the lead role of Andy Sachs, a wide-eyed assistant to Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly at a high-fashion glossy magazine, almost wasn't cast. In a 15th anniverary oral history of the movie, the cast told Entertainment Weekly some behind-the-scenes secrets on the hit film. Director David Frankel, who adapted Lauren Weisberger's massively successful book of the same name, said Streep was signed on, but they needed their Andy.

It was about a subject that I take very seriously, but in such a wonderfully joyful and lighthearted way," Hathaway said of her character.Frankel said it was Streep who convinced everyone Hathaway could pull it off. "Meryl was eager to make the movie, and she said 'let me meet with her.' 'Brokeback Mountain' was about to come out. Annie had a wonderful, small role in that.

I love both actresses but the part was meant for Anne Hathaway. This is an example of misguided casting preferences.

Wasn’t this like 20 years ago? Who gives a rats ?

This film is 15yrs old…

Please. That was a toxic work environment at its finest. No one should have had to deal with a boss like that. This feels like another attempt to vilify men about everything. 🙄
