The first teaser trailer for Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's new romcom is here, and it sees the pair getting saucy.
With Euphoria's Sweeney in the role of Bea and Set It Up actor Glen Powell playing Ben, the new film promises to tick all the boxes with comedy, drama and romance.
In a modern twist on the Shakespeare comedy Much Ado About Nothing, Sweeney and Powell's characters get off to a promising start until things take an unfortunate turn.

As they end up as less than friends, the pair find themselves having to pretend to be the 'perfect couple' as they attend a wedding together.
"After an amazing first date something happens that turns their fiery hot attraction ice cold - until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia," the synopsis explains.
"So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.”
The trailer shows the pair constantly butting heads as they do their best to convince those around them that they're all loved up, while at the same time they're barely able to hide the chemistry between them.
Fans have expressed their excitement for the film, with many unable to resist discussing the rumors that emerged after Sweeney and Powell began working together.
Speculation that the pair had started dating in real life began as production got underway, with further fuel for gossip coming when Powell split up from his longtime girlfriend, Gigi Paris.
Powell and Sweeney were spotted holding hands when they appeared together at CinemaCon, though when asked about the rumors, Sydney told Variety: “It's a rom-com. That's what people want!"
She continued: "Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much… They want it. It's fun to give it to them. We're excited for the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like, ‘That's really funny.’”
Despite Sweeney's apparent denial of a romance, fans drew attention to the rumors after the trailer was released today (19 October).
"The movie that cuased [sic] a literal break-up and a question of loyalty between both star's IRL relationships. This should be an interesting film," one person wrote.
Another commented: "The perfect couple doesn't exi..."
Other viewers were able to focus on the movie as a work of fiction, with one simply commenting: "This is going to be the greatest film ever made - what do you mean I'm just saying that because I have a big crush on Sydney Sweeney..."
Anyone But You is set to arrive in theatres later this year.
