The sequel to “ A Simple Favor,” the 2018 comedic thriller directed by Paul Feig and starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, has gotten an official title and been set as SXSW ‘s opening night premiere.

So, to be able to have Anna, Blake, Henry, Andrew, Michele, Elizabeth, Alex and myself watch our film with the great SXSW audience is a bucket list event that I’ll be able to check off March 7 and move playing drums for Dwight Yoakum’s band up to the top slot.”
