Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney brought their charms together in the 2023 rom-com blockbuster, Anyone But You. The project ended up becoming a hot topic thanks to their savvy marketing and the leads’ electrifying chemistry. It is considered a sleeper hit, breaking box-office records, which is uncommon in the genre.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney are opening up about the marketing behind their hit rom-com Anyone But You.
The film grossed $219M at the worldwide box office since its release in December. Now Powell and Sweeney are talking about the rumors they were having an affair leading up to the premiere that helped attract moviegoers to see the film.
“The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry,” Powell said in an interview with The New York Times. “Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry. That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”

Despite the film’s success, some people have pointed out some overdone and cringy scenes in the film. Being a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the film’s director Will Gluck addressed the criticisms and pointed out that all those ‘cringy’ tropes and scenes are directly lifted from Shakespeare’s writing.

Sydney Sweeney is a marketing genius. That’s Glen Powell’s reasoning for how their rom-com “Anyone but You” went from anything but a success to a box-office and VOD hit.
“The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry,” Powell told the New York Times. “That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”
Sweeney, who also executive produced the film through her Fifty-Fifty Films banner, was directly behind the “Anyone but You” marketing strategy. It included romantic pictures of her and Powell, longing looks on red carpets, and lots of flirting in interviews. And when Powell and his long-term girlfriend broke up, the rumors heated up.

When Ilana Wolpert was studying English literature at the prestigious Duke University, she never imagined that one of her first loves – Shakespeare – would lead directly to writing R-rated movies.
But the writer found her life changed when she took a screenwriting class in her senior year, and her love for the classics led her to adapt Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing into a contemporary rom-com. The enemies-to-lovers romance became Anyone But You, and it's coming to streamers this Tuesday.
What's It About?
Ben and Bea meet in a coffee shop and form an instant connection. They spend a perfect day together – but the next morning their wires get crossed, their defenses go up, and they both blame each other for the relationship failing.
Six months later, Bea's sister is getting married. Ben's connection to the family means that they end up on the same flight, and start pushing each other's buttons right away.

I'm about to propose a somewhat radical idea, but hear me out: What if enemies ... became lovers? Once upon a time, the studio system used to deliver multiple movies a year riffing on this classic rom-com premise, but recent decades have seen these exact sorts of vehicles for movie stars falling by the wayside more and more. After all, we just have to make room for more superhero movies like "Madame Web," don't we? But in a highly ironic twist, one disaster of a Sydney Sweeney-starring production has given way to another much more successful one -- and the same studio is responsible for both. Sensing a lesson here, folks? In short, long live rom-coms!
"Anyone But You" maybe didn't reinvent the wheel or anything, as laid out in Marshall Shaffer's review for /Film, but co-leads Sweeney and Glen Powell certainly managed to charm their ways into the hearts of audiences worldwide.

When Glen Powell signed on to star in Anyone But You alongside Sydney Sweeney, he was more than ready to fulfill the classic romantic-comedy tropes: a few steamy love scenes, some silly and borderline cheesy dialogue, and, of course, plenty of shirtless beach shots. So imagine his surprise when he also found himself dangling from a broken-down helicopter flying above shark-infested waters while filming in Australia’s Sydney Harbour. “The helicopter had serious mechanical issues, and we had to emergency land in a field nearby. If we crashed, we would’ve been history.

"What it's about is making things surprising but inevitable," the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim once mused about the nature of storytelling to his biographer. This maxim applies doubly so for genre entertainment like romantic comedies. To woo audiences, they must make familiar tropes and trajectories feel foreign.
Trying to hold space for both focusing on the new and forgetting the nondescript finds expression within the narrative of "Anyone But You," a spin on rom-com lore. As she surveys the protruding arches of the immediately recognizable Sydney Opera House, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) reveals that she'd like to go there ... but not to admire the architecture. Instead, she wants to watch how the people who convene at the landmark interact with the building — and each other.
Her strategy could be plausibly extrapolated to provide a viewing guide for the film at large. "Anyone But You" knows viewers are well acquainted with the structure of the rom-com,...

Earlier this year, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s on-set and red carpet flirtations sparked rumors of the duo being involved in an actual relationship. The extensive are-they-or-aren’t-they press coverage has felt suspiciously like PR engineering geared toward setting audiences up for Will Gluck’s rom-com Anyone But You. This seemingly manufactured narrative of on-screen chemistry spilling over into real life, though, dovetails interestingly with the plot of the film, which finds Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) toeing a similarly ambiguous line as they pretend to be in a relationship while at the wedding in Australia between the former’s sister, Halle (Hadley Robinson), and the latter’s friend, Claudia (Alexandra Shipp).
Bea and Ben’s history began before the wedding, when a flirty coffeeshop encounter led to a romantic, yet sex-free, late-night talking session at Ben’s home only for Bea to sneak out early the next morning.

In the realm of romantic comedies, certain tropes are so ingrained that they become almost expected, and Will Gluck’s Anyone But You, which he co-wrote with Ilana Wolpert, comfortably nestles itself into familiar territory. The film, starring Sydney Sweeny and Glen Powell, with a supporting ensemble including Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, Hadley Robinson, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Barnet and Rachel Griffiths, is a classic case of somewhat funny, middle-of-the-road storytelling in the genre.

Anyone who’s seen Glen Powell in Richard Linklater’s terrifically enjoyable Hit Man will know he’s a bona fide movie star with charisma to burn. If you were paying attention, that was evident even in Top Gun: Maverick. And Sydney Sweeney has shown impressive range, serving delicious mean-girl snark in season one of The White Lotus, tracing a self-destructive spiral on Euphoria and demonstrating serious dramatic chops in Reality. But neither screen chemistry nor laughs can be manufactured, especially not with the kind of pedestrian writing in Will Gluck’s Anyone But You, which does nothing to reanimate the moribund studio rom-com.

Do we need to get Glen Powell some lessons in stripping for Christmas? According to the Top Gun: Maverick actor, he nearly died at the top of a cliff while taking his pants off for a hilarious scene in the upcoming romantic comedy Anyone but You. In the scene, Powell pulls a giant spider from inside his shorts, then strips down to the buff to ensure there aren’t more creepy crawlies skittering toward his junk.
“You just have to grip it and rip it on a scene like that,” Powell told Variety at the Anyone but You premiere in New York Monday night, pointing to the moment he frantically strips naked in front of his co-star Sydney Sweeney. “You know you’re not going to leave that filming day looking cool, so you just have to embrace it.”

Enemies to lovers is one of the romance’s messiest tropes, but Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell mastered hiding their hate in the official trailer for Anyone But You, in theaters Dec. 22. The film features the two Hollywood stars at a destination wedding where love is in the air — and so is their disdain for one another.
As evidenced by the preview soundtracked by Olivia Rodrigo’s “Bad Idea Right?,” Sweeney and Powell’s characters — Bea and Ben — are old flames (or one-night-standers) who decide that, for mutually beneficial reasons,...

Columbia Pictures has released the first full trailer for Anyone But You, the edgy rom-comedy starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell.
Directed by Will Gluck, with a screenplay co-written by Gluck with Ilana Wolpert, the film follows Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) after a seemingly fiery connection turns ice-cold after their first date. Reunited at her sister’s destination wedding in Australia, the duo find the other’s presence nearly unbearable, resulting in a series of incidents — including fires — that leaves the bride convinced their wedding is destined for ruin.
But this enemies-to-lovers tale takes a new turn when Bea and Ben’s exes arrive, leaving Bea wondering how to get out of her parents’ reunion plan and Ben desperate for a way to make his ex jealous. “Maybe we should just tell everyone we’re together,” Sweeney’s Bea suggests in the trailer. “It would solve that problem for...

“Anyone But You,” the new romantic comedy hitting theaters this Christmas, had a trailer that debuted exclusively with “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” last weekend. Now it’s available online. And you can watch it above.
The movie stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell as a seemingly perfect couple. But after a disastrous first date, the chemistry dissipates. Until, of course, they meet again at a destination wedding in Australia and decide to pretend to be a couple. At one point the movie was being described as an update of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” but that messaging seems to have been dropped. Maybe it still is!
“Anyone But You” also stars Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, Hadley Robinson, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Barnet and Rachel Griffiths. It was co-written, produced and directed by Will Gluck, with Ilana Wolpert serving as co-writer (she also came up with the story). Joe Roth...

When college rivalries rekindle amidst the beauty of a destination wedding, sparks are bound to fly – not always in the romantic sense. “Anyone But You,” a new romantic comedy set for a December 22 release, takes this premise and runs with it, placing Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell at the heart of its intricate love web.
Old Rivals, New Pretense
Sweeney and Powell, known for their roles in HBO’s “Euphoria” and the blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick,” respectively, play Bea and Ben. College classmates who once briefly dated, their relationship soured before graduation. But destiny has its designs. Reuniting years after their college escapades, the two find themselves at a mutual friend’s wedding in Australia. With old flames and ex-partners in the mix, what do two mature adults do to save face? They pretend to be a couple, of course.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell can barely disguise their disgust for one another but pretend to be the perfect couple at a destination wedding, in the trailer for the edgy rom-com Anyone But You unveiled on Thursday.
The Euphoria star plays Bea, and Top Gun: Maverick’s Powell is Ben in the enemies-to-lovers comedy about rivals reuniting and thrust together at a glitzy wedding in Australia. “Let’s just tell everyone we’re together… Could be kind of fun,” Bea tells a puzzled Ben at one point in the trailer as they then replace hate stares with fake flirty glances as their personal chemistry gets pretty complicated around wedding guests.
“There’s no way we could convince anyone we actually like each other,” Ben tells Bea, suspicious of the challenge she sets for her nemeses at the gathering. “But through pretending, they actually fall in love,” Sony’s official...

Ah, the old fake dating trope. A classic rom-com staple that's been around since, well, probably Shakespearean times, the idea of two people pretending to be in love is nothing new. Yet the upcoming film "Anyone But You" aims to breathe new life into an old premise with the help of "Euphoria" star Sydney Sweeney and "Top Gun: Maverick" breakout Glen Powell. The pair will presumably play the Benedick and Beatrice-like roles in the loose adaptation of the Bard's "Much Ado About Nothing," as their characters -- old enemies from college -- end up faking a relationship when invited to a destination wedding that'll be attended by both their exes (per Entertainment Weekly).
This is the kind of classic romance novel-type setup that could easily go wrong, but with two talented, popular, and versatile stars in the lead roles, it could also go very right. Sweeney and Powell have noted...

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell showcase their much-discussed chemistry in the first trailer for Sony Pictures’ romantic comedy “Anyone but You,” premiering in theaters on Dec. 22.
Directed by Will Gluck (“Easy A”), “Anyone but You” has been touted as a loose modernization of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” The film’s official logline reads, “When college arch-nemeses reunite years after graduation for a destination wedding, they pretend to be a couple for their own personal reasons. But through pretending, they actually fall in love.”
“Let’s just tell everyone we’re together,” Sweeney says to Powell while they take a sunset sailboat ride. “There’s no way we could convince anyone we actually like each other,” he responds. Though the two roll their eyes, footage flashing throughout the trailer makes it clear their chemistry is undeniable.

Sydney Sweeney is in her letting-loose era.
The “Euphoria” and “White Lotus” Emmy nominee told IndieWire that upcoming rom-com “Anyone but You” unlocked a new level of comedy in her career. Sweeney marks her first foray into the romantic comedy genre alongside “Top Gun: Maverick” breakout and “Set It Up” leading man Glen Powell for the rated-r comedy, co-starring Dermot Mulroney, Rachel Griffiths, Alexandra Shipp, Michelle Hurd, Darren Barnett, Hadley Robinson, Bryan Brown, and Gata.
“I feel like I learned from everybody. I worked with Dermot, Rachel, [director] Will Gluck. Everybody on set were just comedy legends,” Sweeney said while on the red carpet for HBO’s New York screening of her upcoming “Reality.” “I feel like we just laughed every day.”
She added, “That’s what I learned, which was to have fun and be crazy and let loose and not be self-conscious about anything.”

Honestly, it's kind of hard to believe that it's only been 25 years since the R-rated romantic comedy "There's Something About Mary" ranked among the top five-grossing films of 1998. If you're a millennial or older, that probably feels like an actual lifetime ago. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Gen-Zers weren't even alive to be scandalized by Ben Stiller's "hair gel" in the Farrelly brothers' massively popular raunchfest.
Recent movies like "Blockers," "Good Boys," and "Booksmart" have done a fine job of keeping that film's mix of sweetness and debauchery going. Thankfully, they've also moved away from the misogyny, homophobia, and dubious handling of consent that too often marred otherwise enjoyable older entries in the bawdy comedy tradition. However, compared to the heyday of R-rated rom-coms and comedies in general that came after "Mary" — when the likes of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Wedding Crashers," and "Knocked Up" reigned triumphant at the box...

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist appears to have found Max’s workplace replacement: Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows) will recur during Season 2 of NBC’s musical dramedy as George, a new programmer at Sprq Point.

It sure would line up with the fact that George is “constantly hungering for Zoey’s (and his fellow coders’) approval,” per the official character description.
