‘Emily in Paris’ trailer promises high fashion, lots of humor
    2020-09-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

GET your berets and prepare to revel in the City of Lights! Actress Lily Collins is preparing to anchor her new series for Netflix, “Emily in Paris,” and the first trailer looks to be filled with dazzling landscapes and amazing clothes.

The series is the latest from creator Darren Star, the showrunner behind “Sex and the City” and the Hilary Duff series “Younger.” And it’s easy to see Star’s fingerprints on this new endeavor.

Collins plays Emily, an ambitious 20-something marketing executive from Chicago, unexpectedly lands her dream job in Paris when her company acquires a French luxury marketing company and she is tasked with revamping their social media strategy.

Emily’s new life in Paris is filled with intoxicating adventures and surprising challenges as she juggles winning over her work colleagues, making friends and navigating new romances.

What is evident from the clip is that Emily is highly opinionated and is not afraid to speak her mind, which seeming rubs her co-workers the wrong way. Whether she will be able to make it work in Paris is up for debate, especially when she is branded dramatic. Emily also seems to be in a complicated relationship with her hot neighbor.

The overall vibe of the trailer immediately conjures up images of “The Devil Wears Prada,” especially as Emily becomes more ingratiated into the world of Paris. That being said, the romantic relationships seem easily pulled from the “Sex and the City” sphere. Although it will be interesting to see if the show brings up any discussion of American versus French sexual dynamics, as alluded to when Emily brings up the firm’s sexism.

Star hasn’t hit the same level of ubiquitous, worldwide appeal with his recent offerings like he did with the HBO juggernaut “Sex and the City.” His last series, “Younger,” has been renewed for a seventh season on TV Land and, like “Emily in Paris,” showcases a woman living in a unique set of circumstances.

In a 2015 interview with IndieWire, Star said that much of the television landscape and the characters that populate it have changed since “Sex and the City.” In the case of “Emily in Paris” we see a confident young woman already in tune with much of the world.

“The acknowledgement that there is a different generation with different ways of perceiving the world and engaging the world. And especially this generation that has been weaned on social media, which has become the dominant force in terms of the way we communicate and do business with each other. They have an innate understanding of it,” Star said.

If Star’s goal is to borrow from “The Devil Wears Prada,” he has already keyed into what audiences want, especially in the wake of our current times when the only travel viewers can enjoy is vicariously through a scenic show like this one.

“Emily in Paris” co-stars Ashley Park along with Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Camille Razat and Bruno Gouery. Recurring cast includes Kate Walsh, William Abadie and Arnaud Viard. Zoe Cassavetes, Andrew Fleming and Peter Lauer direct with Patricia Field consulting on costume design with Marylin Fitoussi.

It will stream on Netflix on Oct. 2.(SD-Agencies)
