‘Another Simple Favor’ Trailer: Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick Reunite in Italy for a Deadly Dose of Revenge
variety.comJ. Kim Murphy Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back for “Another Simple Favor.” Lionsgate and Amazon Studios pulled the curtain back on the sequel to the pair’s 2018 black comedy, which saw the pair play friends turned romantic rivals turned murder-suicide conspirators.
The sequel sees Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) back in each other’s company, now en route to coastal Italy for the latter’s wedding to a wealthy businessman.
Stephanie has written a book about the events of the first movie, and Emily, who was in prison, crashes a book reading to invite Stephanie to her wedding — and possibly enact her revenge plot.
The cast also sees the return of Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho and Kelly McCormack, all reprising their roles from the original “A Simple Favor.” Paul Feig returns as director. “Another Simple Favor” will have its world premiere at SXSW Festival in March.
