If we’re going to make cinema horny once more, then casting two of essentially the most charismatic stars in Hollywood as we speak – Top Gun: Maverick‘s Glen Powell and Euphoria sensation Sydney Sweeney – in a rom-com directed by Easy A’s Will Gluck looks like a fairly good method to do it. And that’s precisely what’s occurred with upcoming fake-it-til-you-make-it comedy romance Anyone But You. Check out the primary teaser trailer for the movie (emphasis on the tease) beneath.
Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) are outdated school rivals with a knotted historical past who discover themselves thrust collectively after they’re each invited to a elaborate vacation spot marriage ceremony out in Australia. And so, naturally, the duo do what any self-respecting adults would on this scenario and make a sport of pretending to be a pair whereas they’re away. “Let’s simply inform everybody we’re collectively,” Bea suggests, “It may very well be enjoyable.” “There’s no method we are able to persuade anybody we truly like one another,” Ben snaps again. Honestly although, primarily based on the furtive touches, smouldering seems, and common electrical chemistry between the 2 on this minute-long trailer, we’d say they’ve bought us fairly darn satisfied, truly.
Joining Powell and Sweeney for the nuptials and will-they-won’t-they (they undoubtedly will) chicanery are Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, Hadley Robinson, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Barnet and Rachel Griffiths. Powell has been getting rave critiques recently on the competition circuit for his flip as an undercover cop taking part in a hitman in Richard Linklater’s aptly titled Hit Man, with a number of the thrill centring on the star’s pure romantic lead enchantment. Sweeney however has confirmed a pressure within the style already herself, after Michael Mohan’s erotic thriller revivification The Voyeurs again in 2021. And final 12 months’s George Clooney and Julia Roberts-starrer Ticket To Paradise confirmed {that a} vacation spot marriage ceremony is usually a excellent place for funnies and emotions to come back to the fore.
Anyone But You releases in cinemas stateside on 22 December, earlier than hitting UK screens on 29 December.
