Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick would serve it with a martini spiced with a splash of lemon, dashing couture royalty, and a sprinkle of spine-chillers. Yet, the real brain freezer is not the ask, but where they asked Another Simple Favor. Every time Lively graces the screen, it is like she has the fashion gods on speed dial from every era and postcode. But Another Simple Favor is not just a runway of iconic looks, it is a travel brochure with a plot twist.

Another Simple Favor, starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, was mostly filmed in Capri, Italy. Director Paul Feig recently revealed to IndieWire that French Vogue fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia’s 2016 wedding on the Italian island inspired Emily’s ceremony in the movie. Plus, Feig has been a regular visitor for the last three decades. The ceremony scene was filmed at Faro di Punta Carena, a working lighthouse high on the Capri cliffs.

The scene where Stephanie tailed Emily through the bustling streets of Capri, only to find herself confronting an FBI agent, was taken in Piazetta. The crew filmed the hotel scenes in the palatial and historic Grand Quissana Hotel. Shooting locations in Capri included Trevi Fountain, and the famous beach club Lid del Faro. However, the reception filming reportedly took place at Villa Jovis and Villa Adriana in Rome, with additional filming at Villa Del Quintili and Cinecitta Studios, according to the credits.

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig said, “I’ve always wanted to make a movie in Capri because we go there all the time.” Although he was dazed between the choice of wedding movies and rom-coms, it soon struck him to take the setting out of its “natural habitat.” He always wanted to recreate Giovanna Battaglia’s Capri wedding.

So, Another Simple Favor actually favored him with a dream-come-true opportunity. Though Feig is not really a fan of sequels, he told IndieWire that the “timing just felt right.” To be fair, his decision to break the no-sequel policy was beyond a simple favor to fans. And with the breathtaking backdrop, audiences were fully able to savor the martinis, the mystery, and the madness despite the digital distancing between its streaming home, Amazon Prime, and Capri.
