The 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival, running June 22 - July 2, 2006, will open with David Frankel's "The Devil Wears Prada" and close with Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris's Little Miss Sunshine. Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland's Quinceanera will screen as a centerpiece premiere at the festival. "We are thrilled to be bringing another wonderful slate of films from around the U.S. and abroad to Los Angeles audiences," said Rachel Rosen, Director of Programming for Film Independent and the Los Angeles Film Festival, in a statement. "This year, the Festival has something for everyone from charming comedies to heartrending documentaries. Audiences will also have the chance to discuss the films they've seen with some of our visiting filmmakers and guests."
"The Devil Wears Prada" stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Adrian Grenier, and Tracie Thoms in an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger. The film is described as the story of "an aspiring writer (who) has just started a new job as assistant to the most powerful woman in fashion and all-around boss from hell...Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine."
