The original film was based on Darcey Bell’s book A Simple Favor, which followed the adventures of a small-town vlogger, as she tries to solve the mystery behind her rich friend’s disappearance. The 2018 black comedy was quite a success for Lionsgate, earning $97 million off a $20 million budget, and they’re co-producing the sequel with Amazon MGM Studios.

A Simple Favor 2 will take place in Capri, Italy, and it will see Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) dealing with murder and betrayal after Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman takes a wild turn.

Along with Kendrick and Lively, this sequel will mark the return of several original cast members, including Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack.

Paul Feig will be back in the director’s chair when this sequel kicks off production later this spring. A Simple Favor 2 will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, and it remains unclear if it will also get a theatrical release date.

The Oscar-nominee starred as Jessica Stanley — the quintessential Forks High popular girl to Bella Swan’s awkward newbie.

Can’t remember her starring in the vampire series based on the Stephanie Meyer novels?

Apparently, neither can she!

The star of A Simple Favor put out a tweet which made us giggle.

Holy shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight.

Granted, it was 10 years ago and she has around 50 roles under her belt, but still.

The official Twitter account for The Twilight Saga decided to respond, saying, “We could never forget you @AnnaKendrick47,” complete with a broken heart emoji.

You’re unforgettable, Anna, even if you are forgetful.

Luckily for him — and us — Anna Kendrick was on hand to help him out.

During the filming of The Daily Show, Trevor records an online segment entitled Between the Scenes where he takes questions from the audience. The bit is usually done solo, but the A Simple Favor star decided to shake things up by joining in the fun — hoodie included (because it’s cold in the studio!)

Whilst taking questions from the audience, Anna discovered that she is on “the list” of one of the audience members’ boyfriends.

If you’re confused, you’re not the only one, as the South African host had no idea what the woman meant.

“What do you mean, ‘On your list?’” he asked. “Like, how?”

“It’s someone you can sleep with. You get a hall pass for, like, five people,” the actress explained. “She’s trying to wingman her own boyfriend and I respect it!”

Trevor may have still been quite shocked at the revelation, but at least he can now start compiling his own list!
