Grand Debut: Movie adaptation called "Anyone but you," drawing widespread excitement, starring Sydney Sweeney, based on a timeless classic
In the world of Hollywood, two current stars, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, have captured hearts and minds with their latest collaboration in the romantic comedy "Anyone But You."
Powell, known for his roles in blockbusters like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Twisters," and Sweeney, a rising star who has worked under Quentin Tarantino and been nominated for two Emmy Awards, have delivered a captivating performance in this film.
Set against the backdrop of a dreamy wedding and filled with constant misunderstandings, the movie follows the reunion of two characters whose animosity is well-documented, drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." The explosive chemistry between Powell and Sweeney is a highlight of the film, with their characters occasionally repeating words from the Bard's works.
Filmed in Sydney Port, a known shark zone, the production team ensured the safety of the actors by using a shark tank during filming. Despite this, sharks were attracted to the activity, with the longer shooting times drawing more of these marine creatures.
The movie has become a viral phenomenon on TikTok, spreading through word of mouth, and has grossed an impressive $220 million at the box office, far surpassing the $25 million that Sony invested.
One unexpected event during filming was a spider bite that Sweeney suffered, causing her to scream in the scene. This incident, known as "The Spider Incident," went largely unnoticed on set.
Rumors of a romantic connection between Powell and Sweeney off-screen have circulated, but both actors have consistently denied these claims. A sequel to "Anyone But You" is not ruled out, with both actors expressing interest in the possibility.
The producer of the film is Michael Patrick King, known for his work on "Sex and the City." "Anyone But You" is now available for free on Play's website, allowing audiences worldwide to enjoy this charming romantic comedy.
