Sequels. We have many of them that we want to see, but many that we don’t. When it comes to a sequel for Anyone But You, we’d be happy with it. After all you can’t deny the chemistry between Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. We’d definitely watch.
But is there one? Rumors are everywhere. The actress spoke to Empire and was asked about producing Anyone But You, the disconnect with critics, and why it was was a sleeper hit.
She said, “There are movies you do for the critics and there are movies that you do for an audience. Take Reality. Reality is for the critics, and Anyone But You is for an audience.”
She’s not wrong. Movies like Anyone But You aren’t for the critics. They are for enjoyment of the audience. They are for laughter, love, and shipping (at least that is what this writer thinks). Sweeney was asked if she knew making the movie wasn’t for the critics.
She definitely knew and said, “100 per cent. 1,000 per cent. Critics all have their own opinions, and you can’t just try and make critics happy, because you’re not thinking about everybody else. It’s a different process and a different experience.”
She, again, is right. The truth is though, everyone is a critic, but some just have a platform to voice that criticism. This writer loves the so bad it’s good type of movie. Life is too short for anything else but enjoyment.
We appreciated that the journalist from Empire did ask if there was going to be a sequel, to which Sweeney answered, “You’ll just have to wait and see. It’s not a no, and it’s not a yes. It’s a, ‘I don’t have an answer that I can say for you,’.”
We’ll anxiously be awaiting and hoping for a sequel. Tell us your thoughts on Anyone But You. Would you want a sequel?
