'A Simple Favor' may be a dark thriller but that's not stopping Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick's satirical promos
"We all have secrets", goes the teasing, opening line for the trailer to upcoming dark thriller 'A Simple Favor' starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. And while it may sound like a film version of 'Pretty Little Liars', Lively and Kendrick's secret is their signature comedic style when it comes to promoting even a classic thriller like this.
The highly hyped film is set to hit theatres this Friday. The Paul Feig movie revolves around "Stephanie (Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town," as Harper describes it. Considering the two comedy actors playing the leading ladies in it, it may be hard to take the movie's mysterious tone seriously. However, 'A Simple Favor' is, in fact, a dark thriller, with Forbes describing it as 'a delicious adult thriller'. Bustle also notes the thrill potential of the film, stating that it could very well be 'a true story' with that dark a plot.
