The Devil Wears Prada writer Aline Brosh McKenna is penning a would-be follow-up to the hit film that is being developed and produced by Wendy Finerman, who was behind the original. While no deals are done, a follow-up to the 2006 coming-of-age comedy has long been talked about, with Meryl Streep, …
