Visible crew/equipment: When Andy and Nigel are discussing him getting a new job, he walks over to the big windows. When we first see him at the windows, it is a very quick shot, but you can see a crew member in the background.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: David Frankel
Starring: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, Adrian Grenier
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Andy is seen eating a bagel, then the shot changes and she has no bagel, but when she goes down the stairs into the subway the bagel is back in her hand.
Emily: I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?
Trivia: Rachel McAdams was offered the role of Andy more than once, but she wanted to do fewer "mainstream" movies. Anne Hathaway was concerned because the movie involved Andy going through a "makeover", similar to her character in the "Princess Diaries" movies. However, she accepted because she wanted to work with Meryl Streep.
Question: Can anyone please explain to me the deal about Nigel not getting a job in Paris? He thought he got promoted then Miranda picked someone else or something and he says something like 'when the time is right, she'll pay me back'. I've seen this film loads of times but I've never fully understood what happened. Thanks.
Answer: Nigel was going to be James Holt's partner But Miranda made it so Jacqueline got or instead so Miranda could remain Editor in Chief at Runway.

Chosen answer: Miranda was going to be replaced by Jaqueline and forced to retire. Miranda worked a deal to give Nigel's new job to Jaqueline instead. Since Jaqueline now has a job she wants, there is no one eager or qualified to replace Miranda. Miranda keeps her job. Nigel doesn't get a new job and must remain with Miranda. Miranda gets what she wants, Jaqueline gets what she wants, Nigel gets screwed, but maintains the (most likely futile) hope that Miranda will pay him back by some other means in due course.
