THE WORLD of MIRANDA PRIESTLY
Paris versus New York
David Frankel had been worried because the studio had told him he couldn't go to Paris to shoot the film's third act where Miranda takes Andy on a trip of a lifetime. "I was aghast," Frankel says. But six weeks into the shoot, he had
an editor cut a sizzle reel for Fox, which convinced executives to date the movie as a summer event and increase the budget. Both Hathaway and Baker flew to Paris for two days of shooting, but NOT MIRANDA. The studio claimed that FLYING MERYL STREEP WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. The St.Regis Hotel doubled for a lot of scenes in Paris.
The scene where Andrea leaves Miranda was actually shot in three different locations.
-
The interior of the car was basically half a car shot in front of a green screen on stage in Queens.
-
Meryl's side when she gets out was shot at 77th Street and Central Park West.
