Trailer released for "Another Simple Favor."

The highly-anticipated film with Kendrick and Lively is a direct sequel to the popular 2018 mystery-comedy film. The original film was an unexpected box office success.

Now, Amazon is attempting to recreate the magic fans watched unfold seven years ago when the first film hit theaters.

You can watch the preview below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com. 

The original film was a bit of a wild ride. I remember going into it not really expecting much, and came away thoroughly enjoying the mystery. It definitely wasn't my unusual kind of movie, but Lively and Kendrick are both A-list stars.

Plus, let's all be honest with each other. Anna Kendrick is awesome. She might be one of the most likable people in entertainment.

She stands out in an industry full of people who, on the surface, seem absolutely awful.

Now, Kendrick and Lively are, once again, teaming up to take viewers back to the world they were first introduced to in 2018.

The good news is you won't even need to travel to a theater for "Another Simple Favor." You can stream it at home on Amazon. That's pretty hard to beat.
