This year’s opening screening at the South by Southwest Conference and Festivals will feature a major announcement: The sequel to director Paul Feig’s “A Simple Favor,” titled “Another Simple Favor,” is set to debut at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival on March 7 at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Austin. Similar to its predecessor, “Another Simple Favo” stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.
In the upcoming movie, we’ll continue with the main characters from the initial film, Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson, portrayed by Kendrick and Lively. Their paths cross once more in picturesque Capri, Italy, due to Emily’s marriage to a prosperous Italian entrepreneur. The plot synopsis hints at “murder and betrayal” being among the glamorous attendees of this wedding, promising more surprises than the winding road from Marina Grande to Capri’s town square. Notably, Henry Golding, known for his role in Crazy Rich Asians, reappears as Sean Townsend in this production.
The movie is helmed by Feig, famed for hits like “Bridesmaids” and “Ghostbusters,” and the iconic TV series “Freaks and Geeks.” To me, a young woman in her twenties, however, he’s best remembered as Mr. Pool from “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
As I step back into the magical realm of my most cherished festival on Earth, where we once triumphantly premiered “Bridesmaids” and “Spy”, I can hardly contain my excitement! It’s an immense privilege to have our new film gracing the opening slot. Truth be told, I’ve shied away from making sequels for all my previous works, but these characters were simply too delightful to let go. So, imagine my elation as Anna, Blake, Henry, Andrew, Michele, Elizabeth, Alex, and myself prepare to share our film with the esteemed SXSW audience on March 7th – a dream I’ve had since forever! And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, moving drumming for Dwight Yoakum’s band up my priority list has never been more enticing.
Apart from her roles, Laura Fischer is also participating in the production process, with Jennifer Booth, Jessica Sharzer, and Marco Valerio Pugini contributing as executive producers as well. Notably, Jennifer Booth has previously worked as a producer for La La Land and holds the position of Vice President of Marvel Studios’ on-set production. Meanwhile, Jessica Sharzer is renowned for writing both the original film A Simple Favor and its sequel.
No worries if you can’t attend SXSW, as Another Simple Flavor is set to premiere worldwide on May 1st, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video!
