Anna Kendrick thinks Paul Feig’s sequel was even crazier thanks to a minor favor
Ahead of Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding reprising their roles for A Simple Favor 2, the Pitch Perfect star gushed about Paul Feig’s contributions to the movie.
To put it simply, Paul Feig did us all a favor.
With Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding returning to reprise their roles in the anticipated A Simple Favor sequel, it’s only natural to have doubts that it will compare to the original. Even the Pitch Perfect star was skeptical at first.
“When the idea of doing a second one was even pitched, it was sort of like, ‘How could we top the first movie,’” she told E! News in an exclusive interview. “And Paul has really done an incredible job of making this movie even crazier.”
And while Paul—who also directed Bridesmaids and Freaks and Geeks—was busy doing the impossible, Anna was relieved that she was surrounded by familiar faces.
“I was actually really happy that it was a lot of the same filmmaking team,” she admitted, “because it was the first movie that I was acting in after directing for the first time.”
