Another Simple Favor Teaser with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively
Amazon MGM Studios has released the official teaser trailer for Another Simple Favor, director Paul Feig’s A Simple Favor sequel launching globally on Prime Video on May 1. The film will have its World Premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW) on March 7.
In Another Simple Favor, Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.
Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.
The cast includes Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Elizabeth Perkins, Michele Morrone and Alex Newell, with Henry Golding and Allison Janney.
Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis wrote the sequel, which is based on characters created by Darcey Bell. Paul Feig and Laura Fischer are the producers, and the executive producers include Jennifer Booth, Jessica Sharzer and Marco Valerio Pugini.
“Paul Feig has once again delivered the perfect blend of mystery, wit, and unexpected twists in the highly anticipated Another Simple Favor. The cast, led by the extraordinarily talented Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, brings life to a script that propels the sequel to new heights,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon MGM Studios, previously.
Salke added: “We are beyond grateful for our collaborations with Paul, Blake, Anna, and the entire cast and filmmaking team. We could not be more excited to share the next chapter of this saga with the always enthusiastic SXSW audience and ultimately with our Prime Video customers around the world.”
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back at my favorite festival in the world where we successfully launched Bridesmaids and Spy, and I cannot begin to say how honored I am to have our film opening it all,” said director and producer Paul Feig.
Feig continued: “I’ve avoided making sequels to any of my films but these characters were just too much fun not to revisit.
“So, to be able to have Anna, Blake, Henry, Andrew, Michele, Elizabeth, Alex and myself watch our film with the great SXSW audience is a bucket list event I’ll be able to check off March 7th and move playing drums for Dwight Yoakum’s band up to the top slot.”
