About the Teaser-Trailer
Emily Nelson [Blake Lively] is out of prison and is ready to tie the knot with her wealthy Italian businessman partner. She wants Stephanie Smothers [Anna Kendrick] to be her maid of honor. The wedding is set to take place on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, and the duo reunites there. However, soon, things start to take a dark turn filled with mystery. Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.
The teaser trailer is one minute and thirty-eight seconds long. It has garnered only 1.23 million views and 2.9K likes on Prime Video’s YouTube channel so far.
Thoughts on the Teaser Trailer
Blake Lively has a mysterious aura, and Anna Kendrick’s character is wary of that. The negative shade looks good on Lively, and the picturesque location looks visually pleasing. You will be invested in the teaser trailer and eventually want to watch the movie as they maintain the thrill. There is murder, along with some more twists, which will intrigue you to learn about Emily’s actual motives and the reason behind inviting Stephanie. Anna lightens the mood with her comedy in some places, but it does not seem over-the-top at any point. Michele has a limited presence in the teaser trailer, which is expected to remain like that in the film. The focus will be on the two leading ladies. The color palette is vibrant, much like other comedy thrillers. The music is also fitting to the teaser-trailer.
It is not too revealing yet not too concealing either. Another Simple Favor teaser trailer showcases the right amount of things, which Marvel Studios can probably learn from as they have been showing every important thing in their trailers. It looks appealing and might have been a hit if it came out at the cinemas.
Release Date & Teaser-Trailer
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrik’s mystery movie Another Simple Favor will premiere at the South by Southwest Festival on March 7 and be released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1.
According to Box Office Mojo’s report, the OG movie was made on a budget of $20 million and raked in 4.88 times more revenue worldwide, making it a box-office success. It collected $53.54 million in the US and $97.64 million globally. The film is available to rent on Prime Video.
