The entrance of Kenneth BranaghOscar winner for the script of Belfast (2022), adds a touch of prestige to the project. In the role of Miranda’s husband, Branagh promises to bring an unprecedented dynamic, perhaps an ironic counterpoint to the glacial chief editor. “A job for which a million girls would kill”, as everyone said to Andy Sachs in the first film, returns to be the beating heart of a story that mixes fashion, ambition and drama.
