Rumors are circulating on the internet that MGM Studios would cancel the film A Simple Favor Sequel. But how true are these claims? Has attention shifted due to the controversy surrounding lead actress Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni? Is this rumor just part of an alleged smear campaign against Lively or has MGM really lost faith in the project? According to director Paul Feig, there is no reason to worry: A Simple Favor 2 it just comes.
Feig can’t wait
Both Lively and Anna Kendrick are na A Simple Favor (2018) can be seen together in the sequel. Filming started in April and has already been completed, Feig said. There is therefore no truth to the claim that the film has been canceled or postponed indefinitely.
This is total nonsense. Sorry. The film is finished and will be released soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days (…) The movie is great and Blake and Anna gave great performances. I can’t wait for you to see the movie.
Bad advertising
According to reports spread via social media, the film has been temporarily postponed due to an alleged ongoing feud between Lively and Kendrick. Lively is said to have refused to promote the film. In addition, the studio fears that the lawsuit in which Lively is involved will not do the film any good.
