Paul Feig reveals the original script idea for 'Another Simple Favor'

Those who have already watched Another Simple Favor might be shocked to find out that the Charity twist was not the original plan for the highly anticipated and long-awaited sequel. 

Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman. 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.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer/director Paul Feig shared, "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.'" 

This would have resulted in more of a road trip plot. He described it as "a really fun script, more of a caper," adding, "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."
