'Anyone But You': Filming and Plot

The film, shot in Australia from February to April 2023, follows Bea (Sweeney) and Ben, who, after a promising first date gone awry, find themselves pretending to be a couple at a destination wedding. Loosely inspired by Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," the rom-com explores the dynamics of enemies turning into lovers.

The teaser trailer, released on October 19, 2023, offers glimpses of Bea and Ben navigating their fake relationship, showcasing their onscreen chemistry and inevitable disagreements.

'Anyone But You': Cast

Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in HBO's Euphoria and The Handmaid's Tale, takes on the lead role of Bea, while Glen Powell, recognized for his work in Scream Queens and Hidden Figures, plays her onscreen love interest, Ben. The cast also includes Alexandra Shipp, Hadley Robinson, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Barnet, Rachel Griffiths, and GaTa.

During CinemaCon in April 2023, Powell described the characters as two people who initially despise each other, finding themselves in a romantic setting on the other side of the world. Despite their onscreen animosity, the cast, including Sweeney and Powell, developed a strong friendship, evident in their off-screen activities, such as a visit to Luna Park Sydney.

Notably, Sweeney takes on an executive producer role in the film, which is directed by Will Gluck, who co-wrote the script with Ilana Wolpert. As the anticipation builds for "Anyone But You," it's safe to assume that the rom-com formula will likely lead Bea and Ben to a happy ending, mirroring the familiar and beloved tropes of the genre.
