Hey guys! Let’s talk about something super exciting happening in the cinema world. You know that rumor that’s been going around about “Anyone But You” co-stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney teaming up for a new movie? Yeah, turns out it’s not happening.
There has been a whirlwind of rumors about Sydney and Glen re-teaming for The Running Man, an adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel. Well, truthfully, those rumors have been shut down, and it’s a sigh of relief for every fan who was anxiously waiting for the official announcement. Collider, a cool outlet that is pretty solid at what they do, busted this rumor. They’ve got unnamed sources saying Sydney was never linked with this project.
I guess you might be wondering why everyone believed this in the first place, right? Well, don’t blame them, it was quite plausible. The thing is, Edgar Wright is directing The Running Man remake, and guess what? He’s also working on a Barbarella remake with Sydney. It’s like 1 + 1 = 2, right? But, alas, it isn’t.
So, what exactly is this “The Running Man” that everyone’s hyped about? It’s a pretty hair-raising book by Stephen King. Except, he wrote it under an alias – Richard Bachman. The book previously got its silver screen rendition starring everyone’s favorite action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a hit, but not very true to the book’s original content.
Edgar Wright has always been vocal about how he liked the Schwarzenegger version, but he fancied the book more. He admitted on a podcast, Happy Sad Confused, about his dream of making a film more true to the book. That’s some dedication, right?
Okay, so Sydney’s not in, but what about Glen? Well, this handsome hunk has a big line-up of projects. He’s all set to share the screen with young talent Jenna Ortega in an upcoming flick from J.J. Abrams. Sounds interesting, right?
Alright folks, end of update! The main point is, no co-starring of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell in The Running Man. But hey, that doesn’t mean they won’t team up for another project, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.
And remember, while it’s exciting to speculate about our favorite stars reuniting on screen, not every rumor that catches wind turns out to be true. So, we should always wait for a trusted source to confirm.
Keep being awesome and stay tuned for more updates! Until then, happy movie watching!
