In a candid interview, Anna expressed her joy about working with Blake again. She noted, "She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don't get to see each other often." This distance makes their reunion even more special. Anna, known for her roles in films like "Pitch Perfect" and her recent directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour," described the chemistry between their characters as "weird" yet delightful. She remarked, "It was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it's so fun to just get the gang back together. And it does feel a little bit like riding a bike."
As for the film's setting, Anna revealed that they shot in Italy, a location she found breathtaking. "We shot it in Italy, so the locations are just unbelievable. And I felt spoiled rotten shooting there," she shared. The picturesque backdrop adds a layer of charm to the film, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Discussing the plot, Anna playfully mentioned her curiosity about what she could reveal, saying, "I need to call Paul Feig and be like, ‘What am I allowed to talk about?’" She hinted at the film's complexity, stating, "It's one of those things where on paper you're like, ‘This is absolutely nuts. What are we doing?’" This suggests that the sequel will not only maintain the original's quirky essence but also push boundaries further.
Anna also praised director Paul Feig, known for his work on "Bridesmaids," highlighting his unique vision. She explained, "I think it's really fascinating that Paul Feig is the guy who's arguably best known for Bridesmaids, and the darkness and craziness that is inside of his brain, it's impressive." This insight into the director's creative process hints at the intriguing twists and turns that await viewers in the sequel.
As fans eagerly await the release of "A Simple Favour 2," Anna Kendrick's reflections on her reunion with Blake Lively remind us of the magic that happens when talented actors come together.
