Banks To Star in MSC Aggie Cinema’s “The Devil Wears Prada” Remake

Last Tuesday, MSC Aggie Cinema and 20th Century Fox announced that a “The Devil Wears Prada” remake will be filmed on Texas A&M University’s campus, with the notorious M. Katherine Banks starring as the slightly less notorious Miranda Priestly.

Engineering department heads penned the first treatment of the screenplay while Banks was still a dean. Following the recommendation to dissolve the College of Liberal Arts, the script gained traction among aspiring studio executives in Texas A&M Performing Arts courses. It eventually landed on the desk of the MSC Aggie Cinema chairperson, who brought Banks onboard to complete the screenplay in several student-led improv sessions. Administration greenlit the project in late February when Banks’s approval ratings hit record lows.

“Seeing Banks get into character as a talented, self-serving manipulator was instrumental in helping us complete the final script,” said Daniel Venters ’23, head writer of the film. “Having her tell me face-to-face that no events related to my identity are allowed on campus was exactly what I needed to ensure each piece of dialogue was tailored to the actor.”

Texas A&M students reportedly hope that Banks’s on-screen character undergoes just as much positive character development as Meryl Streep’s did. Regardless of how it ends, the picture is expected to smash MSC Box Office records, as the Office of the President has canceled every other event.
