Blake Lively said that Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig “upped the ante” in the Amazon Studios MGM/Lionsgate sequel — and that’s keeping the spoiler at bay.
However, watching herself — a lot of herself on screen at the Paramount Theatre, the actress said, “It was uncomfortable to watch in this theater.” That’s not a ding. You gotta see the movie on May 1 on Prime to see what she’s talking about.
The actress said on the first movie, A Simple Favor, Anna Kendrick and her were “nervous” — they didn’t know if Feig was making a drama or comedy. He would tell the actresses it was both.
On part duo, Feig wanted to shoot in Capri. After watching the movie, Lively says, “Now, I want to live there! They serve ice cream in lemons!”
Amazon MGM Studios once again is a force to be reckon with at SXSW, for in addition to this year’s Another Simple Favor, they have The Accountant 2 tomorrow night. That Ben Affleck movie is getting a theatrical release on April 25.
Feig is also a frequent denizen of SXSW having world premiered his movies Bridesmaids and Spy down here in the past.
Another Simple Favor streams on Prime on May 1.
