Apart from learning some details about the storyline, cast, and director’s positive feedback on audience test scores for A Simple Favor 2, we don’t know much else regarding its release. There are indeed queries about when it will be out, but a recent gossip has been circulating that Amazon postponed the movie due to Blake Lively’s legal issues with her It Ends With Us director/co-star Justin Baldoni. However, the director of A Simple Favor 2 has refuted this speculation and clarified the film’s current standing.
The story started unfolding when @Lululemon shared several predictions about the anticipated sequel to “A Simple Favor 2“, announcing them via platform X.
NEWS FLASH: The release of A Simple Favor 2 has been put on hold indefinitely. Although initial test viewings were positive, the unwillingness of Blake Lively to participate in promotion – due to her ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni – and escalating conflicts with Anna Kendrick have caused complications that have stalled the production of the sequel.
The article continued to assert that Anna Kendrick, another main character in the movie, was said to be angry, while the director, Feig, was reportedly disappointed. It further labeled the film as a “collapse.” This was followed by a detailed analysis explaining their perspective on why they considered it to be so, mentioning various whispers surrounding the original release of ‘A Simple Favor’ and the ongoing legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni.
Later, in response to a thread suggesting that Paul Feig’s movie would not be released, he swiftly refuted the claim, labeling it as false. In fact, he assured everyone that the film is indeed set for release. Here’s his complete statement:
The film has already been completed and will be released shortly. Please disregard any rumors or speculations you may encounter online.
As a movie enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: “After the director of Spy made that statement, @Oflululemon questioned if the story was untrue, and asked, ‘If your film that completed production in April 2024 hasn’t been given a release date by Amazon, could you explain why?’
As a fervent advocate, I’d like to share some insights I recently gathered. In response to a query about future projects, the director of ‘Bridesmaids’ provided a detailed breakdown of their post-production process. Notably, they mentioned that they are indeed planning to unveil ‘A Simple Favor 2’ in the movie lineup for the year 2025.
Friend, you might be familiar with the term post-production, which typically requires at least six months or more when considering tasks such as editing, scoring, visual effects, audio mixing, subtitling, and quality checks. Our post-production timeline has always aimed for completion by mid-January. Movies aren’t immediately released once they are completed because studios need to select the optimal release date in the following year. We’ve consistently scheduled our movie for some point in the spring or summer of this year. That’s how the film industry generally operates. I hope this clarifies things for you.
In response to a post expressing gratitude for confirming that the thread was nonsense, the director expressed his fondness for “A Simple Favor 2”. He further praised Blake and Anna’s performances in the film, reiterating his enthusiasm for the project. The post concluded with an exciting announcement: “Simple Favor 2 is on its way!
Indeed, all these events unfold while Lively’s final movie, “It Ends With Us,” is engulfed in an intricate legal tussle. In December, she lodged a complaint (later escalating to a lawsuit) against Justin Bladoni’s production company, Wayfarer Studios. She alleged that he and his associate subjected her to sexual harassment during filming, and further claimed that the director and his team retaliated against her with a defamatory campaign when the movie was released, among other issues.
Subsequently, Baldoni initiated a legal action against The New York Times, who had published an article regarding Lively’s grievance, for libel. He asserted that they selectively used and manipulated his communications, disregarding essential context – a reference to the text messages mentioned in the actress’s original complaint.
For quite some time now, this prolonged and intricate legal predicament has dominated headlines and sparked intense conversations. Given the constant flow of new information regarding these court cases and the ongoing legal proceedings, it seems likely that this issue will stay relevant for quite a while longer.
Meanwhile, as events unfold, according to Paul Feig, who provided vocal assistance for Lively when her initial statement came out, it appears that “A Simple Favor 2” remains scheduled for release.
As events unfold and we gain more insights into the Lively-Baldoni scenario as well as the upcoming release of “A Simple Favor 2”, rest assured we’ll keep you informed. If you’re eager to watch the original film featuring Feig, Lively, and Anna Kendrick, simply stream it with a Netflix subscription.
