Sharon Stone has expressed disappointment after believing she had been cast in Paul Feig’s upcoming film, Another Simple Favor, only to be informed later that she was not part of the project. The actress shared her feelings in an Instagram comment, stating, “I LOVED being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all.” However, sources close to the production have clarified that Stone was never officially cast in the dramedy-thriller, a sequel to 2018’s A Simple Favor. They confirmed that no formal agreement was reached, and Stone did not film any scenes or join the set. Representatives for Stone and MGM Studios have not yet commented on the matter.
Following Stone’s absence at the 2025 SXSW Film and TV Festival premiere of Another Simple Favor, it has been confirmed that she does not appear in the movie, which features Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively in lead roles. The thriller, also starring Allison Janney, Andrew Rannells, and Alex Newell, revolves around Stephanie (Kendrick) attending Emily’s (Lively) wedding in Capri, Italy, where a shocking murder disrupts the festivities, leading to a cascade of unanswered questions.
Director Paul Feig previously discussed the film’s intriguing premise of suspense amid a vibrant and picturesque backdrop in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Another Simple Favor is set to premiere on May 1 on Prime Video, offering viewers a thrilling and visually captivating experience.
