While we’re still eagerly anticipating the season 5 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building” on September 9 – and hopefully some promotional tour or interviews next week – let’s take another dive into the archives with additional pictures from the first ten years of Meryl Streep’s career. Among the highlights is a backstage picture of Meryl visiting co-star Raul Julia after performing “Dracula” at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1978 and a picture from the rehearsals for the 1988 MacDowell Benefit at Christies with Garrison Keillor. In between, more pictures from the 1980 Oscars and premieres for “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Sophie’s Choice”. A full list of updates can be found below.

The Hollywood Reporter has published an article on the media scrutiny on the recent filming of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in New York City – and how he publicity on the film tarnish rather than help it: “The Devil Wears Prada 2” doesn’t arrive in theaters until May 1, 2026, but plenty of moments between stars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are already online, thanks to paparazzi and fan videos shot on the streets of New York. Onlookers have captured scenes of Hathaway’s Andy Sachs running down New York sidewalks and Streep’s Miranda Priestly ascending the Met steps from a distance. Others have gotten so close that actual dialogue from the movie can be heard. No, it’s not a Marvel or Star Wars movie where spoilers really matter. But for the filmmakers behind Prada, dealing with paparazzi and fans can clearly be an unwelcome distraction. (In videos posted to social media on Aug. 20, Hathaway and star Stanley Tucci can be seen asking paparazzi to “relax” and step back while filming a scene in Central Park.) According to sources THR spoke with, Manhattan is among the hardest places in the world to shoot, at least in terms of avoiding unwanted attention. This could partly be due to New York being a walkable city while L.A. is car-centric, or because much filming in L.A. was done on studio lots. But it could also be due to New York’s lack of anti-paparazzi laws. (California has enacted legislation targeting unwanted intrusion, harassment and trespassing by paparazzi, though the First Amendment clearly protects filming on public streets.) Koskoff wants New York to pass similar legislation to help guard against aggressive tactics. The complete article can be read over here.

Production is officially underway on Greta Gerwig’s eagerly awaited adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, the chronological prequel to The Chronicles of Narnia. Filming has kicked off in London – including Shepperton Studios – with Seamus McGarvey on board as the director of photography. Gerwig, who signed on to write and direct at least two Narnia films for Netflix in July 2023, continues her signature blend of innovation and whimsical storytelling in this reboot. Gerwig’s Narnia promises a “rock and roll” reinvention of the beloved classic – bigger, bolder, and more vividly imagined than previous versions. It embraces the rich mythology of C.S. Lewis’s world while infusing it with a grounded, emotionally resonant lens. This adaptation uniquely begins with The Magician’s Nephew – a departure from the 2000s films that launched with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It roots the saga in origin story territory, spotlighting Digory and Polly’s discovery of Narnia’s creation. Filming kicked off around August 11, 2025. While there haven’t been any official cast announcements yet (Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig and Carey Mulligan are attached), Meryl Streep has been announced a couple months ago to voice the role of Aslan. We’ll have to see if this turns out to be true. For now, a two-week IMAX theatrical release slated for Thanksgiving Day (November 26) 2026, followed by Netflix streaming on Christmas Day 2026.

Meryl Streep has been “in talks” to be director Cameron Crowe’s first choice to play Joni Mitchell in his long-gestalting biopic on the legendary singer. While no big industry website has picked up the news so far, Streep is known to be a fan of Joni Mitchell, and has been a surprise addition to her Joni and the Jam performance last year (it would make sense she was having a front row seat to do research). Now, World of Reel, which has been writing about the biopic before, is having an exlusive scoop that Anya Taylor-Joy is in talks to play Mitchell during her peak years in the film, while Streep will play Mitchell during the later part of the singer’s career – namely, around the time she suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015. The article also states that Crowe had been eyeing a March start for the biopic, hoping to get cameras rolling before Streep started shooting the “Devil Wears Prada” sequel. However, plans shifted when Crowe’s Los Angeles home was among the properties affected by the January wildfires, forcing production to be delayed. It’s unclear whether filming will now commence this fall or be pushed to early 2026, but signs are pointing to momentum finally building on what will be Crowe’s first narrative feature in over ten years. I always take news like this with a grain of salt – only time will tell us if all involved move on with the project. The complete article can be read here. Many thanks to Alvaro and Glenn for the heads-up.

Only Murders in the Building season 5 is on the horizon! In a trailer for the hit whodunit show’s upcoming fifth season, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) dive headfirst into another mystery at the Arconia – this time, the eclectic trio is investigating the death of their longtime doorman, Lester. At the end of season 4, Lester was found dead sitting in a fountain in the courtyard, and the trio immediately suspected foul play. But when they receive a copy of the incident’s police report, Charles, Oliver and Mabel learn Lester’s death has been dubbed an accident – even though it happened in “the most murderous building in New York.” The upcoming season will see the return of characters Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton), Loretta (Meryl Streep), Detective Williams (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane) and Vince Fish (Richard Kind). New additions to the show’s star-studded cast include Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler. Only Murders in the Building season 5 debuts Sept. 9, with three episodes, followed by weekly new episodes on Hulu. The trailer can be watched in the video archive and the season poster can be found in the photo gallery.

A big batch of international magazine scans have been added to the photo gallery, covering the recent, very public, filming of “The Devil Wears Prada” in New York City. While some articles focus on the new film’s fashion, others question if such high exposure and photo evidence will help or harm the film’s release next year. A complete overview of all articles can be found below. Many thanks to Alvaro for submitting them. Much appreciated.

The filming of “The Devil Wears Prada” continues to cause a media frenzy in New York City. The cast and crew was spotted on August 01, 2025, shooting what looks like a re-creation of the Met Gala. Meryl Streep, filming alongside Stanley Tucci at the Museum of Natural History, was photographed wearing a red gown with an asymmetrical silhouette as part of a Met Gala scene, and it’s every bit as pure high-drama couture as we could hope. Filming alongside Stanley Tucci at the Museum of Natural History, Streep stepped onto a cerulean carpet in a blazing scarlet taffeta gown. Earlier that day, Streep and Tucci were spotted scoping the set in a far more low-key look. Streep wore a black-and-white checkered button-down, straight-leg black trousers, and a camel trench coat that skimmed mid-calf. Even then, she gave Priestly edge with red satin peep-toe platforms and angular black sunglasses – the most Miranda Priestly accessory of all. As with the previous updates, a list of news and entertainment sites, featuring photos and/or videos fom the filming, can be found below.
