Sharon Stone says she was removed from
another simple favorite role. The

2
00:00:04.329 --> 00:00:08.029
actress says that she was supposed to
be in the upcoming film. Another simple

3
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:12.430
favor, a sequel to 2000 eighteen's, a
simple favor starring Blake Lively and

4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.680
Anna Kendrick but was dropped from the
film without warning underneath an

Instagram reel of the E news show Hot
goss about Lively Kendrick's appearance

00:00:20.889 --> 00:00:26.672
at the movie's sex sw premiere. Sharon.
I love being cast and removed from my

7
00:00:26.681 --> 00:00:31.482
role unexpectedly for no reason at all
loved it. The Oscar nominee's apparent

8
00:00:31.492 --> 00:00:35.062
casting in the Paul Feig directed
thriller has not previously been

9
00:00:35.071 --> 00:00:39.332
reported on E News has reached out to
reps for Stone Feig and Amazon MGM

10
00:00:39.341 --> 00:00:43.521
studios for requests for comment and
hasn't heard back. Stone's comment

11
00:00:43.532 --> 00:00:47.102
comes after Feig did shut down
speculation that Kendrick and Lively

12
00:00:47.111 --> 00:00:50.824
had tension. Another simple favors
premiere in Austin though, which was

13
00:00:50.833 --> 00:00:54.734
amplified by Kendrick's cryptic
response to a fan question asking what

14
00:00:54.743 --> 00:00:58.813
it was like reuniting with her co star
on screen when a youtuber claims that

15
00:00:58.824 --> 00:01:02.363
the gossip girl actress was terrified
to walk the carpet because the pitch

16
00:01:02.374 --> 00:01:06.804
perfect star never wants to work with
her again. The director responded on X

17
00:01:06.814 --> 00:01:10.503
um you're wrong. Meanwhile, lively had
nothing but gushing words to say about

18
00:01:10.513 --> 00:01:13.966
her time working with V on the sequel,
she shared on stage at the film's

19
00:01:13.975 --> 00:01:18.246
premiere, March 7th for the Hollywood
Reporter. I love this character so much.

20
00:01:18.255 --> 00:01:22.045
This is probably my favorite character
I've ever been fortunate enough to play.

21
00:01:22.055 --> 00:01:26.185
And so when Paul asked us to come back,
I was so excited. She added, I was

22
00:01:26.195 --> 00:01:29.176
really nervous on the first one because
we didn't know if we were making a

23
00:01:29.185 --> 00:01:33.585
drama or a comedy. We asked Paul and he
said yes, which is not really an answer

24
00:01:33.596 --> 00:01:35.526
to the question, but it worked out.
