Warning: the following contains spoilers for Another Simple Favor.Another Simple Favor‘s writer-director Paul Feig breaks down the movie’s ending and how it almost concluded differently. Premiered at the South by Southwest Festival on March 7 and released on Prime Video on May 1, the sequel to A Simple Favor stars Blake Lively roles as Emily/Hope and Anna Kendrick as Stephanie Smothers.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feig revealed his original plan and how the massive Emily twist came to be. Check out his comment below:
In the original script, Dante was more of a bad guy. It turned out that he was a bad guy and he staged his death, and they had to go on the run because Emily was like, ‘They’re going to kill me. He set me up to look like I killed him.”
It was a really fun script, more of a caper. It had a lot of things where Emily had to be undercover, so she was dressing like a nun and dressing like a normal person. I was like, ‘I don’t know if any of us want Emily to dress like a normal person.’ It had them running through Naples and Rome, and we decided to keep it more contained and bring the body count up much higher.
More to come…
