Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci—who co-star in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” (and share a family member, Felicity Blunt)—discuss which film of theirs they want to adapt into a Broadway musical, what they think is really chic, and how Emily Charlton and Nigel Kipling would fare at The New Yorker.

00:00Hello I'm Stanley Tucci. Hello Stanley I'm Emily Blunt and we are about to do
00:04The New Yorker Mini Interview. Let's see if I can read this.
00:10Hurry before the cops get here. Quick run. What's your advice for dealing with an
00:14overbearing boss like your your wife Felicity Blunt? How do you deal with this
00:25overbearing boss? Quit. Quit. Surrender. Yeah. And drink. Say goodbye. Have a drink and say goodbye.
00:34That's it. What about you? Well an overbearing boss remember the most
00:41overbearing boss I had was when I was working in catering and I would show up
00:47with the wrong kind of footwear because I always loathed wearing heels and I wore
00:50these flip-flops and I had terrible blue nail polish and I remember my boss
00:55saying the best place for me was in the kitchen scrubbing pans so really what do
01:00you do about an overbearing boss I mean just take it. Do you prefer playing an
01:06antagonist or a protagonist? Well it depends I don't want to be the
01:12protagonist who has all the answers who wants to play those people I kind of
01:16would like to play a protagonist who is in a moral quandary that's good yeah
01:21yeah like who wants to play the person who's like got it all together and is
01:26the hero yeah I've never done that I think Nigel's a hero yes yeah anyway in a
01:35way subtle subtle chic hero I'd like to play both I like playing both it just
01:43depends on how do you know what what's there to sink your teeth into it's true
01:49you know what I mean if it's complicated yeah if it's just an antagonist who's
01:52just like a bad guy with a twirling a mustache although I have liked watching
01:56you in those as well I like playing them if they're complete
02:02all right what are the film of yours would you like to see on Broadway I
02:07always wanted to make the are you asking me yeah I'm interested I'm really in
02:11the second this the second movie that I directed that I wrote and directed I
02:18always wanted to make it into a play the impostors which was a huge failure was
02:23it yes but it would be much better as a musical on stage you heard it here
02:27I heard it here in a miniature oh what's yours what's your what's what's a
02:31film of mine that could be like a Broadway musical or just on Broadway

02:39that'd be funny Sicario on Broadway done you heard it here it's your turn
02:49what's one quality in an outfit or in a person that you find incredibly chic I
02:55think a dry sense of humor is incredibly chic hmm and effortless and easeful yeah

03:35guzzle or they could sip hmm feel like you're you're chic I'm a sipper yeah but you just sip a
03:42lot
03:44could you envision a career at the New Yorker for my character what would it look like she kept
03:51fired immediately oh yeah she would be abusive and rude she would write articles about herself
