David Frankel

An Academy Award-winning director, David has a unique ability to capture – and define – the cultural moment in his timeless films, including the blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada. His latest project, The Devil Wears Prada 2, just debuted in theatres with a record-breaking opening weekend, earning $310 million worldwide. The highly anticipated sequel returns to the world of Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway), alongside Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) and Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci), as it collides with a new era of fashion and media.

David’s mastery of tone and genre effortlessly mixes comedy with drama, weaving together laughter, aspirational ebbs and flows, and life’s more tender moments as seen in his films Collateral Beauty, Marley & Me, The Big Year, Hope Springs, Miami Rhapsody, One Chance, and Jerry and Marge Go Large. His iconic characters have received numerous Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and many Emmy and Academy Award nominations. 

David has also shaped the landscape of prestige television with series such as Sex and the City, Entourage, Manifest, and The Morning Show. David’s work honors emotional truth, whether on the battlefield in HBO’s Band of Brothers, for which he won an Emmy Award for directing, or sealed inside a lunar module in From the Earth to the Moon, or the gripping, binge-worthy Netflix series Inventing Anna, about the con artist Anna Sorokin, better known as Anna Delvey, starring Julia Garner.
