The announcement of the project and images from the set captured by paparazzi have created a buzz of anticipation around the on-screen chemistry between Sydney and Glen. Both stars unveiled the first footage at CinemaCon, where they shared details in a series of interviews and on-stage appearances. Despite rumors and speculation about a possible relationship between them, the artists have denied that there is anything more than a friendship between the two.
Anyone But You also features a strong and diverse cast, including Dermot Mulroney, Alexandra Shipp, Rachel Griffiths and Michele Hurd. Others actores part of the film are GaTa, Bryan Brown, Darren Barnet, Hadley Robinson and Joe Davidson. The film was written by Ilana Wolpert and the director himself.
