Remember when, in A Small Favorthe charismatic ones Anna Kendrick And Blake Lively played two very different friends (and mothers)? The first, loving and very active single mother, found herself investigating the strange disappearance of the second, glamorous and eccentric. The decidedly surreal epilogue, however, did not mark the end of the misadventures of Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) ed Emily Nelson (Lively). The unlikely duo, in fact, will return in sequels of the film by Paul Feigalso director of the new chapter.
The news that A Small Favor 2 was in production and has unofficially been around for months. In January, People announced an important change of location. Filming of the sequel, which is expected to begin in the autumn, will take place in Italy. Our country will therefore be the backdrop to the vicissitudes of the sweet vlogger and her mysterious friend/enemy.
Furthermore, in the last few hours, more precise details have been leaked about the plot of the film produced by Amazon And Lionsgate. Next, here’s a first synopsis:

Worried, the friend alerts the police and begins to investigate on his own, telling everything on his blog. When Emily’s lifeless body is found in Michigan, Stephanie begins to have suspicions… thanks to some disturbing messages that she begins to receive. There comedy thriller it had the merit of involving, keeping the tension at a good level for the first two acts. The last part, however, is lacking in implausibility and over the top, penalizing the final result.
The sequels will be able to do better, proposing not just one gripping plot, but an adequate development for the entire narrative arc? We are curious to find out. And also to see the star of again on the big screen Gossip Girl, absent now since 2020 (the year in which he starred in The Rhythm Section Of Reed Morano).
