Paul Feig spoke out at SXSW after YouTuber Melanie King claimed Lively, 37, was afraid to walk the red carpet because Kendrick, 39, was upset with her.
Anna Kendrick doesn't seem too enthusiastic about her costar Blake Lively ... 'cause while Blake said working with Anna was "the best," Anna's response came off much more lukewarm.
Where else would you see a beloved actor recreating an "Idiocracy" icon, or royalty enjoying some of Texas's best BBQ? That's SXSW for you! Get ready for anything.
ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR: Anna Kendrick is so good she almost distracts from a woefully forced-fun, faux-nasty screenplay that’s a massive drop off from the original. Backwards bonus point for Blake Lively playing a woman who goes around threatening lawsuits. #SXSW
This time, the Gossip Girl actress stepped out alone for the premiere of her new movie, Another Simple Favor. Blake Lively walked the red carpet in Austin, Texas, on March 7, 2025, as the soon-to-be-released comedic thriller was the opening act of the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival.
