Anna Kendrick Spill the Beans on Working With Blake Lively on Simple Favour Sequel; Find Out Here Amid Gossip Girl Star’s Recent Controversies

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood happenings, I find myself utterly thrilled about Anna Kendrick‘s current ventures. Her forthcoming directorial debut, Woman of the Hour, promises to be a gripping true-crime drama that not only showcases her versatility but also delves into uncharted territory.


Anna Kendrick recently spoke about her excitement for the upcoming sequel to A Simple Favor, reuniting her with Blake Lively. The first film, released in 2018, followed Stephanie (played by Kendrick), a widowed mother investigating the sudden disappearance of her glamorous friend Emily (played by Lively). The sequel was filmed earlier this year in Europe, and Kendrick described working with Lively again as “lovely,” despite their busy lives on opposite coasts. She added that reuniting felt “like riding a bike,” thanks to the strong chemistry between their characters.

Kendrick didn’t reveal much about the storyline of the sequel, but she did mention that it was shot in beautiful spots across Italy, like Rome and Capri. She went on to say that filming in these stunning landscapes made her feel incredibly pampered.

According to People’s report, looking back on their first film together, Kendrick reminisced about how she found it to be the most outrageous project she had ever been involved in. She commended director Paul Feig, famous for Bridesmaids, for the complex and dark narrative style he brought to A Simple Favor. Kendrick hinted that the sequel would be even more thrilling, characterizing it as “very peculiar, somewhat daring, extremely twisty, and heavily plot-driven.

Beyond her involvement with A Simple Favor 2, Kendrick is stepping into directional roles for the first time with Woman of the Hour, a gripping Netflix true-crime series. This movie delves into the chilling tale of serial killer Rodney Alcala, who made an appearance on The Dating Game in 1978 and was selected by contestant Cheryl Bradshaw, portrayed by Kendrick. Initially cast as an actor, Kendrick was eventually offered the chance to direct this project, finding it both nerve-wracking and emotionally intense.
