Good stories make good movies. Yes, but a cast with a sizzling chemistry makes up for even a better one. In today’s box office that stands saturated with superhero movies and sci-fi, the good old days of a heart-tugger are hard to come by. However, the wait is nearly over as Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell breeze their way into screens all over with Anyone But You. The coming-of-age romantic comedy started as one project seeking to set itself apart but now has all the fans’ attention thanks to the sizzling pair that the two actors account for.

Indeed, they do share some of the most delicately heart-tugging moments on screen, but for now, they are here turning on the heat.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney try to pick up one another to the delight of fans

An enamoring romance on-screen and a display of budding chemistry behind the scenes, Will Gluck’s Anyone But You is shaping up to be a great deal. In the latest promotional material for the flick, the two leads stood alongside each other with a microphone in the center. The task was simple or rather riveting sensuous as they showered some of the dirtiest pick-up lines on one another, all the while whispering to count the segment as ASMR.

In one of his lines, Glen Powell fires at Sydney Sweeney with “You’re so hot, my zipper is falling for you.” And the barrage never ended as there was a slew of such exchanges that kept raising the bars of ‘dirtiness’. The effective results were visible immediately as fans commented in awe of the “ASMR”.

Meanwhile, the upcoming rom-com has set a pretty high bar in its production as well. The content and the shoot were in a league of their own.

Anyone But You was shot in shark-infested waters

Will Gluck went to great lengths to ensure that his upcoming movie was of the best of standards. For starters, the story is a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. It narrates the tale of two exes who despise each other but act as a couple for an overseas tour and end up realizing they were meant to be together all along. 

A portion of the movie saw filming in Australia’s Sydney Harbor at 3 AM in shark-infested waters. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney were on a buoy in actual Pacific waters overlooking a shark cage. The lengths it has gone to bring love to the big screens is a testament to watching it upon release on December 22.
