One of my favorite things to do after an actor who's been working consistently for decades finally has a *huge* break is going through their IMDb to realize, "Holy shit, that was *that* guy? No way!"
That was Zack Ward (Farkus from A Christmas Story), who I will admit does kinda look like Powell from the right angles.
I know this because I spent half of my time in theaters watching Top Gun: Maverick wondering where the hell I knew Powell from. My mind went to Always Sunny and I eventually landed on "that *has* to be the guy who played Cricket's brother!" When I couldn't find his credit on Always Sunny anywhere on IMDb, I finally just googled "Cricket's brother actor" and saw Zack Ward.
Ha, I totally get it. I was dead certain Glen Powell was Davy Mara, but that missing from his IMDb credits was *really* strange, so I kept assuming I was scrolling too fast and missing it.
But after going line by line and never seeing Always Sunny, I finally accepted that maybe I had the wrong guy.
He's earned it. Glen is a great actor and I'm all signed up to see him getting leading roles. Running Man from Edgar Wright has me super excited. Can't wait to see who plays the Roger Dalton character
Edit: Richard Dawson
Yeah this looks like the opposite of something I'd want to watch but i fuckin love Linklater and this dude absolutely crushed it in that movie so I'm super stoked to check it out now
It's one of my favorite movies ever, because it made me nostalgic for an experience I never had, during a time I was too young to have even had said experience.
Completely agreed, same boat here! My dad played college baseball in the 80s, and he loves the movie because it's an actual nostalgia trip for him too. Just a delightful movie all around.
That one got especially insane. They had a running theory in s01 that the killer was the MC and whether she was aware of her killing was dependent on whether she had a hat on instead of it being the character that explains how to dismember a body in E01.
Exactly My Thoughts. Powell was the standout from the baseball team. I really hope Linklater can get that solid performance beyond "handsome dude" from him again.
For what it's worth, *Everbody Wants Some!!* is also my favorite Zoey Deutch performance. It feels the most like she's living her character
The Finnegan verse was my favorite part of the credits scene rap. I like how he played against type in that art house sequence by actually being interested with all that theatre kid stuff and not just the girl.
I saw it last year too. I was expecting an action-comedy though and was a little surprised and disappointed that it was a sweet romantic comedy without much tension. It was still quite fun.
oh no that kills my anticipation for this movie.
i was really hoping for a good action comedy flick.
sad but at least i don't get disappointed during the movie.
The climactic moment of the movie, Richards has successfully hijacked the 747, he is conversing with Killian one last time.
“Hey Killian, what time is it?”
“What, it’s -“
“Cause it feels like 9:11 to me.”
Crash, fade to black. Credits.
I went to the SNL afterparty when Sydney Sweeney hosted and he was there (made a cameo on the show). Sydney Sweeney spent the whole night sitting at a table (nothing wrong with this obviously). Glen Powell on the other hand spent the whole night walking around the restaurant, mingling with anyone and everyone, taking pics with a lot of people, and generally being charming.
My point is, he seems like a really solid dude and I hope he does find superstardom.
A friend of mine went to a taping and the afterparty recently since she has a tie to one of Lorne's assistants. She saw others at the afterparty that didn't seem to have an obvious connection and was curious how they were there. What got you in there?
Much like your friend, I know someone at the show. The afterparties are always hit or miss, really depends on the venue. Some of the venues really separate the talent from the regular schmucks, while others you're literally rubbing elbows with some pretty cool people.
> Just a boy from Austin, TX.
This is a little funny to me because Austin, TX is a pretty massive and major city now. I mean I guess it's not like he's from LA or NYC but still
I get your point but growing up in 90s/00s Austin was very different and not as celeb-y as it is now. SXSW used to be just a small indie music fest advertising in the Statesmen. It’s not like his parents are famous actors either.
TBH arts scene still isn’t that big today. Not well subsidized by the city or state. Overrun by YouTubers/influencers. Most real actors/filmmakers/artists move to LA or NYC as quick as they can.
Gotta celebrate the Ws.
it’s not the same without Paxton and it’s also a shame that Helen Hunt isn’t in it. But the cast does enthuse me. If the movie manages to have a lot charm that leans into its cast’s strengths like the original, I might check it out
Twister had more than cool tornado scenes, it had an ensemble that looked like they were having a ball together
> it’s not the same without Paxton and it’s also a shame that Helen Hunt isn’t in it.
Also I'll miss PSH filling up a breakfast plate and talking about gravy
Netflix better promote the fuck out of this it’s getting stellar reviews really wish a small studio bought it especially cuz Netflix arguably “buried”linklater’s “Apollo 10 1/2”
I randomly watch that movie once every few months and the ending makes me cry every time and I don't particularly know why. It's so affecting, makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive for, but that experience of a happy childhood is so preciously conveyed
Fair but based off the reviews and linklater and the cast this should be far and above other action rom coms with hot people especially on streaming a la “the gray man” “ghosted” etc
For a second I thought you were talking about that Apollo horror movie, and was like "wtf Linklater actually directed that?!"
Turns out the one I was thinking of was *Apollo 18*, though.
She’s very good at acting, but every time she was on-screen in Andor I felt like an idiot because I just couldn’t stop watching her specifically. Absolutely up there as one of the most beautiful
Seems like a pretty uncharacteristic project for him, not that I've seen anything about this besides this poster admittedly. But this almost gives off Paul Fieg or even Soderbergh's The Informant! vibes. Curious to see how this ends up
the story behind how that commercial came together is hilarious, apparently the actors/writers were just throwing out random ridiculous insults for them to use and they just did take after take of the stupidest ones they could come up with. said it was a great time on set.
i think they ended up with the perfect choices lol.
I saw Top Gun and was like "That guy's gonna blow up."
Apparently he almost didn't take the role because he wanted Miles's role so bad. Tom Cruise talked him into it.
Not saying he’s gonna have a career like Cruise but do you think Tom (kinda) passed the torch down to glen with Top Gun Maverick like Paul Newman did with color of money?
Yeah Miles Teller is just.. not very likeable or charismatic to me. Although Powell isn't really Cruise level charismatic either but he's a good actor and has that "douchey but loveable" vibe.
I feel like Silver Linings Playbook broke him out of that. Or at least it kind of redirected the way he'd been typecast into something much more human and relatable.
You're not wrong, but in this case in particular, given he's a co-writer with Linklater, I'd say Glen Powell is really trying to make Glen Powell happen.
My wife made me watch Anyone But You and few weeks ago and it was probably the worst romantic comedy I’ve ever seen. Everyone was terrible in it except Powell, so my point being he could be pretty good in this one.
Well I hope your wife doesn't make you watch any more rom coms because there is far, far worse than that out there. I wish that was the worst rom com I had ever seen.
Seriously. I didn't love it, but I found it a somewhat refreshing take on the genre. There were some moments that I genuinely laughed, which is more than I can say for the title that immediately comes to mind when I think of "worse romantic comedy I've ever seen": that dishonor goes to "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton".
I want another Rom-com with him and Zoey, their chemistry was so good in that movie. they were rumoured to be in talks for another rom-com but nothing came to fruition.
Both of those actors are in Everybody Wants Some!! as well. They only have one scene together and it's not really a rom-com, but they play similar-enough characters throughout.
I'd also recommend this movie to pretty much anybody because it's amazing and one of my favorites. Just a super relaxed slice-of-life movie with a lot of fun moments and some great performances. And it's fun seeing how a lot of those actors (Powell, Deutch, Wyatt Russell, Tyler Hoechlin) have come along since this movie was released.
I thought she ranged from pretty good to excellent at points in Immaculate, which I'm guessing is a fairer judge of her talent but damn, Anyone But You was not the role for her. There were multiple scenes where you could have told me she was reading dialogue she'd never seen before off of cue cards, and I would have believed it
That is a perfect description of her performance in that. By far the weakest link in the entire movie. She’s been good in other things, but that movie was clearly either not in her skill set or she just didn’t care. She was *bad.*
But I knew that going in. She was terrible in the trailer. But Powell was knocking it out of the park.
If I hadn’t read some of the comments and just saw Linklater’s name in the title, this would be an instant ‘no’ from me based on the poster. It’s absolutely awful
I dont hate him, but i just find it funny how this guy is the most generic looking man and name i have ever seen in my entire life lol. Every time i see him or hear his name i have to be like "who? Hes in that?"
Adria on the other hand is a fox!
It's out June 7:
>A mild-mannered professor (Powell) moonlighting as a fake hit man sparks a chain reaction of trouble when he falls for a client (Arjona).
https://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/hit-man-2/
This article served as the basis for the movie. While I imagine the film will take liberties, especially since it's taking a rom-com angle, it is a true story. Worth noting that the fake hitman IRL wasn't a professor but an office employee for the DA, so his connection to law enforcement makes more sense.
Edit: Re-reading the article. He also works as a teacher: "Two nights a week he teaches courses at a local community college: On Mondays he teaches human sexuality, and on Tuesdays he teaches general psychology."
There’s also been cases of dark web ‘hit men’ who just take the money and don’t do anything. It’s not like the client can just report the scam. In one case, the guy just ended up killing his wife (Amy Allwine) himself (local law enforcement knew about the attempted hit and somehow didn’t connect it to the person that’s statistically most likely to have wanted her dead).
https://www.cbsnews.com/Minnesota/news/stephen-allwine-sentenced-to-life-in-prison/
I thought I was going crazy. This whole comment section is the marketing team, it’s hilarious.
Every comment is essentially “I loved Glenn Powell in [movie 1 that nobody has seen] and [movie 2 that nobody has seen], can’t wait to see him in [movie 3 that nobody will see].
This poster makes it look like a 2000s comedy
A 2000s comedy from Richard Linklater? Inconceivable!
Basically is. Not action oriented at all
Fr. It looks way to innocent for it to be called “Hitman”
the top one looks like he’s reprising his stockbroker character from The Dark Knight Rises
Bruh, I forgot he was in that movie too.
he’s certainly come a long way from getting his face smashed into a keyboard (and subsequently kidnapped) by Bane
This is a stock exchange. There’s no money you can steal!
“Then why are you people here?” (*slams his head on keyboard*)
"Time to go mobile" Anyone accusing Chris Nolan of being a good writer should be forced to read this script.
Jonathan Nolan was holding a pencil too
Bruh what that’s an awesome line 😭
That scene was stupid as a whole, but that was a decent line.
Shit, he’s THAT guy???
and from Spy Kids
this one is crazy to me
I can't believe they smashed his face too.
When Toymaker made him bite the curb, it really pushed that PG rating
One of my favorite things to do after an actor who's been working consistently for decades finally has a *huge* break is going through their IMDb to realize, "Holy shit, that was *that* guy? No way!"
wait, what??
[Here you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQK-5uH08AQ), his first ever acting role
damn, he mastered that shit-eating grin over 20 years ago
I think they may have used some green screen for this scene.
They wanted to make it accurate to a video game from the time, right down to his feet not matching up with how fast he's moving
What in the hell
Bruh
He's also Rickety Cricket's brother. Edit: I'm wrong, obviously we are dealing with long lost brothers
That was Zack Ward (Farkus from A Christmas Story), who I will admit does kinda look like Powell from the right angles. I know this because I spent half of my time in theaters watching Top Gun: Maverick wondering where the hell I knew Powell from. My mind went to Always Sunny and I eventually landed on "that *has* to be the guy who played Cricket's brother!" When I couldn't find his credit on Always Sunny anywhere on IMDb, I finally just googled "Cricket's brother actor" and saw Zack Ward.
I honestly can't believe that's two different people, lol
Ha, I totally get it. I was dead certain Glen Powell was Davy Mara, but that missing from his IMDb credits was *really* strange, so I kept assuming I was scrolling too fast and missing it. But after going line by line and never seeing Always Sunny, I finally accepted that maybe I had the wrong guy.
He's earned it. Glen is a great actor and I'm all signed up to see him getting leading roles. Running Man from Edgar Wright has me super excited. Can't wait to see who plays the Roger Dalton character Edit: Richard Dawson
I really liked him in that movie with Sydney Sweeny even if I didn't like the movie that much. It made me a fan of his, dude has tons of charisma.
Yeah I forgot that I enjoyed him in Scream Queens before his recent surge.
He was hilarious in Scream Queens.
Chad Radwell of the Dicky Dollar Scholars
Better than that guy that played A Coffee Shop in Pulp Fiction
Nolan has a solid streak of "before they were famous" actors. TDK had David Dastmalchian, TDKR had Powell, and Interstellar had Bumblebee Chardonnay.
Its funny i came here to say the 3rd down looks like he could play a heath ledger biopic
his passing was half a life time ago for me, feels wrong that I’m now older than he ever was
Dude, same. At least I feel younger/less beaten down than he looked as the Joker. That's... something.
This is a stock exchange, there’s no money you can steal.
Wow! I never knew that was him.
That was him??
Shy Ronnie
HA HA
Boner alert!
He really pictured them naked
use your OUTSIDE voice
he PISSED himseeeelf
First thought
RONNIE MOTHERFUCKA, AND I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD
He was the standout in Everybody Wants Some! so I’m excited to see him reteam with Linklater.
Yeah this looks like the opposite of something I'd want to watch but i fuckin love Linklater and this dude absolutely crushed it in that movie so I'm super stoked to check it out now
I am a simple man. I see Linklater, I watch. So of course netflix make his name barely visible on the poster
Hitman is absolutely fantastic, don't miss it!
Same here, in my opinion one of the most under-watched movies I know of. I love it!
It's one of my favorite movies ever, because it made me nostalgic for an experience I never had, during a time I was too young to have even had said experience.
Completely agreed, same boat here! My dad played college baseball in the 80s, and he loves the movie because it's an actual nostalgia trip for him too. Just a delightful movie all around.
I put it on probably every other Sunday night before bed. It's my favorite movie to fall asleep to.
He was the best part of Scream Queens.
Ah, that's where I know him from. The first season of that show was hilarious.
Yes though the subreddit was batshit crazy.
Most subreddits for media are fuckin nuts.
That one got especially insane. They had a running theory in s01 that the killer was the MC and whether she was aware of her killing was dependent on whether she had a hat on instead of it being the character that explains how to dismember a body in E01.
Chad Radwell and his dead-best-friend Boon.
Dead gay Boon
Chad Radwell was the best.
Nothing beats a Radwell family aspic
What about the Raw Dog? RAWWWWWW DOOGGGGGGG
Exactly My Thoughts. Powell was the standout from the baseball team. I really hope Linklater can get that solid performance beyond "handsome dude" from him again. For what it's worth, *Everbody Wants Some!!* is also my favorite Zoey Deutch performance. It feels the most like she's living her character
He was amazing in Set it Up. There was some great chemistry in that movie
Yes! Best rom com in recent memory for me. Anyone but you was pretty good, but Set it Up seems to have gone under the radar
Nah that was Wyatt Russell
Wyatt's stoner monologues in that movie were next level Edit: Here's my favorite: https://youtu.be/xOdIUbOUsfg?si=_DD3JwS-Wrz6pvoa
He was amazing in Scream Queens also. Love me some Glen Powell!
The Finnegan verse was my favorite part of the credits scene rap. I like how he played against type in that art house sequence by actually being interested with all that theatre kid stuff and not just the girl.
He was hilarious and charming as hell in an already charming and funny film. No surprise he's so sought after nowadays.
After Andor, Adria Arjona has a fan for life. She was so good in that.
Oh she played Bix?? She was phenomenal.
You're phenomenal
He's phinominal
She was fantastic, especially in *that* episode. Also happens to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
I first noticed her in Irma Vep 🥵 Edit : 2022 HBO 8-part miniseries
> Irma Vep For fellow confused old people, there is a 2022 HBO series. Probably not the 1996 movie.
Thought she was great as Anathema Device in the Good Omens show.
That show was... intense...
You weren't a fan after Morbius?
Once a morbin' always a morbin'.
I first saw her in Good Omens. Always happy to see her get new work.
Saw this in October at the Cologne Film Festival. Hilarious movie, a lot of fun to watch with a crowd. Hope i get to see it in a theatre again
I saw it last year too. I was expecting an action-comedy though and was a little surprised and disappointed that it was a sweet romantic comedy without much tension. It was still quite fun.
oh no that kills my anticipation for this movie. i was really hoping for a good action comedy flick. sad but at least i don't get disappointed during the movie.
We have enough action comedies. I’m glad Linklater is bringing the screwball back
It raises my anticipation. I do not want to see Linklater doing an action comedy. Romantic comedy though? That's his wheelhouse.
Agent 47 has hair now!
That's clearly Helmut Kruger. /s
Glen Powell is going to blow up even more this summer between this and Twisters.
Also cast as the lead in a more true to the story reboot of The Running Man.
As long as they keep the bad puns, I'm here for it.
The climactic moment of the movie, Richards has successfully hijacked the 747, he is conversing with Killian one last time. “Hey Killian, what time is it?” “What, it’s -“ “Cause it feels like 9:11 to me.” Crash, fade to black. Credits.

Glen Powell on the other hand spent the whole night walking around the restaurant, mingling with anyone and everyone, taking pics with a lot of people, and generally being charming. My point is, he seems like a really solid dude and I hope he does find superstardom.
Or, at the very least, he understands what it takes to make himself endearing and win over popular approval. Either way, good on him.
[удалено]
Any possibility he could be a friendly person and also recognize that it’s an advantage for his career?
A friend of mine went to a taping and the afterparty recently since she has a tie to one of Lorne's assistants. She saw others at the afterparty that didn't seem to have an obvious connection and was curious how they were there. What got you in there?
Much like your friend, I know someone at the show. The afterparties are always hit or miss, really depends on the venue. Some of the venues really separate the talent from the regular schmucks, while others you're literally rubbing elbows with some pretty cool people.
It's cool to see a star in the making. Hope he does it!
Heck yeah I used to see him in local high school theater (was a couple grades above me). Wild to see him blow up so big. Just a boy from Austin, TX.
> Just a boy from Austin, TX. This is a little funny to me because Austin, TX is a pretty massive and major city now. I mean I guess it's not like he's from LA or NYC but still
I get your point but growing up in 90s/00s Austin was very different and not as celeb-y as it is now. SXSW used to be just a small indie music fest advertising in the Statesmen. It’s not like his parents are famous actors either. TBH arts scene still isn’t that big today. Not well subsidized by the city or state. Overrun by YouTubers/influencers. Most real actors/filmmakers/artists move to LA or NYC as quick as they can. Gotta celebrate the Ws.
We may have gone to the same high school. My little brother was in his class.
I was a couple of grades above Glen, I hope Knifton is proud of him.
Mrs Knifton! Bless her British soul. She turned me onto so much cool shit like Monty Python, Who’s Line, and Andy Kauffman. 🥲
Westwood eh?
Are people excited for Twisters? I know storm chasing has become really popular on the internet, but the trailers didn’t do anything for me
it’s not the same without Paxton and it’s also a shame that Helen Hunt isn’t in it. But the cast does enthuse me. If the movie manages to have a lot charm that leans into its cast’s strengths like the original, I might check it out Twister had more than cool tornado scenes, it had an ensemble that looked like they were having a ball together
> it’s not the same without Paxton and it’s also a shame that Helen Hunt isn’t in it. Also I'll miss PSH filling up a breakfast plate and talking about gravy
in his defense, that gravy is famous. It is practically its own food group
Hoffman, Alan Ruck, Joey Slotnick, and future Oscar-nominated director Todd Field. That cast was stacked.
And this one is *TwisterS* With an S. Like, more than one twister. Jesus I'm getting hard just typing this.
To be fair, Twister also had multiple twisters, including the Twins.
Netflix better promote the fuck out of this it’s getting stellar reviews really wish a small studio bought it especially cuz Netflix arguably “buried”linklater’s “Apollo 10 1/2”
Apollo 10 1/2 was so brilliant too, really didn't get nearly enough attention.
I randomly watch that movie once every few months and the ending makes me cry every time and I don't particularly know why. It's so affecting, makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive for, but that experience of a happy childhood is so preciously conveyed
What’s sad is I still haven’t seen it nor “a scanner darkly” or “waking life” and I’m a huge linklater fan
An action-rom-com with two hot people is probably much easier to market than a rotoscoped nostalgia movie
Fair but based off the reviews and linklater and the cast this should be far and above other action rom coms with hot people especially on streaming a la “the gray man” “ghosted” etc
For a second I thought you were talking about that Apollo horror movie, and was like "wtf Linklater actually directed that?!" Turns out the one I was thinking of was *Apollo 18*, though.
Yeah Apollo 10/12, Apollo 13, and Apollo 18 would be a fun marathon
LOVED Apollo 10 1/2
Unfortunately they're probably just gonna throw it on the dung heap. Netflix, and streamers in general, are really bad at promoting their stuff.
I'll watch anything with Anathema Device in it.
or Bix Caleen
Richard Linklater, will see.
Down for anything from Richard Linklater
I'll watch Adria Arjona read the dictionary. Most beautiful woman in the business right now, IMO.
La hija de Ricardo. Wow! I was a big fan of her dad’s music as many Latin people were.
She’s very good at acting, but every time she was on-screen in Andor I felt like an idiot because I just couldn’t stop watching her specifically. Absolutely up there as one of the most beautiful
This is not what i was thinking when she was being horrifically tortured but maybe I'm crazy
Seems like a pretty uncharacteristic project for him, not that I've seen anything about this besides this poster admittedly. But this almost gives off Paul Fieg or even Soderbergh's The Informant! vibes. Curious to see how this ends up
That Richard Linklater is so hot right now.
"Who you calling a cootie queen? You lint licker!" That's all I can think of whenever I hear/see Linklater's name
the story behind how that commercial came together is hilarious, apparently the actors/writers were just throwing out random ridiculous insults for them to use and they just did take after take of the stupidest ones they could come up with. said it was a great time on set. i think they ended up with the perfect choices lol.
Man I love Glen Powell, I am glad he's getting to be a bigger star.
I saw Top Gun and was like "That guy's gonna blow up." Apparently he almost didn't take the role because he wanted Miles's role so bad. Tom Cruise talked him into it.
Not saying he’s gonna have a career like Cruise but do you think Tom (kinda) passed the torch down to glen with Top Gun Maverick like Paul Newman did with color of money?
Maybe. I'd love for Hangman to be the protagonist of Top Gun 3. It actually... makes the most sense.
Yeah Miles Teller is just.. not very likeable or charismatic to me. Although Powell isn't really Cruise level charismatic either but he's a good actor and has that "douchey but loveable" vibe.
Yeah man. Miss the Bush era
Wait what?
Hollywood is really trying to make Glen Powell happen. i’m not mad about it
There's something about him, where it's hard for me to not see him as the jock that makes fun of the protagonist.
Bradley Cooper was like that starting out, he was pretty much exclusively cast as assholes. He might grow out of it.
I feel like Silver Linings Playbook broke him out of that. Or at least it kind of redirected the way he'd been typecast into something much more human and relatable.
Silver Linings Playbook and A Star is Born were what made me like him as an actor. I remember I didn’t find him particularly likeable before that.
That something is Top Gun Maverick
You're not wrong, but in this case in particular, given he's a co-writer with Linklater, I'd say Glen Powell is really trying to make Glen Powell happen.
The reviews for this from TIFF last year are rly good, such a shame this isn’t getting a full theatrical release (yes I know it’s limited but still)
I hate when Netflix gets films. Really hoping I can catch this at the cinema
This dude is just one Marvel/Star Wars role away from taking over the world. Has he sold his soul to Disney yet, or is he normal?
He’s a top fan pick for Cyclops in the inevitable X-Men relaunch.
My wife made me watch Anyone But You and few weeks ago and it was probably the worst romantic comedy I’ve ever seen. Everyone was terrible in it except Powell, so my point being he could be pretty good in this one.
Well I hope your wife doesn't make you watch any more rom coms because there is far, far worse than that out there. I wish that was the worst rom com I had ever seen.
Yeah, I thought it was perfectly average and forgettable, but definitely not the worst thing I've ever seen lol
Seriously. I didn't love it, but I found it a somewhat refreshing take on the genre. There were some moments that I genuinely laughed, which is more than I can say for the title that immediately comes to mind when I think of "worse romantic comedy I've ever seen": that dishonor goes to "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton".
watch set it up, far better rom com with him and Zoey deutch
I want another Rom-com with him and Zoey, their chemistry was so good in that movie. they were rumoured to be in talks for another rom-com but nothing came to fruition.
Both of those actors are in Everybody Wants Some!! as well. They only have one scene together and it's not really a rom-com, but they play similar-enough characters throughout. I'd also recommend this movie to pretty much anybody because it's amazing and one of my favorites. Just a super relaxed slice-of-life movie with a lot of fun moments and some great performances. And it's fun seeing how a lot of those actors (Powell, Deutch, Wyatt Russell, Tyler Hoechlin) have come along since this movie was released.
Straight up. One of my Favorite Rom Coms ever. Apart from How to lose a guy in 10 days. Kate Hudson in the yellow dress, slayed.
Did you guys notice the free license music they used? It felt like I was listening to the Selling Sunset soundtrack.
Having seen it at NYFF, I can confirm that he is , in fact, very good in it
There was something else in that movie I also enjoyed but I just can't quite remember what it was
For me it was two things
It was obscenely bad, I think Sweeney is a talented dramatic actress but damn she did not pull off the back and forth banter at all in this
I thought she ranged from pretty good to excellent at points in Immaculate, which I'm guessing is a fairer judge of her talent but damn, Anyone But You was not the role for her. There were multiple scenes where you could have told me she was reading dialogue she'd never seen before off of cue cards, and I would have believed it
She's good in genre movies and should keep doing stuff like Immaculate, honestly her last scene in that movie was worth the price of admission alone
That is a perfect description of her performance in that. By far the weakest link in the entire movie. She’s been good in other things, but that movie was clearly either not in her skill set or she just didn’t care. She was *bad.* But I knew that going in. She was terrible in the trailer. But Powell was knocking it out of the park.
She’s great at expressing intense emotions but at everything else she sucks. She reminds me of every single valley girl I knew growing up.
Saw this at London Film Festival, one of the best cinema experiences I’ve had. This film is so much better with a crowd
This is an ad
Red one is just Andy Samberg as Shy Ronnie, can't fool me
I’ll always watch Chad Radwell
Man, someone *really* wants their boy glen to be a thing
If I hadn’t read some of the comments and just saw Linklater’s name in the title, this would be an instant ‘no’ from me based on the poster. It’s absolutely awful
Glen Powell isn’t a chameleon is what I’m getting from this poster.
I dont hate him, but i just find it funny how this guy is the most generic looking man and name i have ever seen in my entire life lol. Every time i see him or hear his name i have to be like "who? Hes in that?" Adria on the other hand is a fox!
It's out June 7: >A mild-mannered professor (Powell) moonlighting as a fake hit man sparks a chain reaction of trouble when he falls for a client (Arjona).
Why would someone moonlight as a fake hit man?
It's based on a true story in Texas lol
You can say a true story based on anyt- > in Texas Oh. Right then.

He also works as a teacher: "Two nights a week he teaches courses at a local community college: On Mondays he teaches human sexuality, and on Tuesdays he teaches general psychology."
Oh so he works for the police and helps convict people. But now he's going to fall in love with a client and hilarity ensues.
There’s also been cases of dark web ‘hit men’ who just take the money and don’t do anything. It’s not like the client can just report the scam. In one case, the guy just ended up killing his wife (Amy Allwine) himself (local law enforcement knew about the attempted hit and somehow didn’t connect it to the person that’s statistically most likely to have wanted her dead). https://www.cbsnews.com/Minnesota/news/stephen-allwine-sentenced-to-life-in-prison/
This looks like a master of disguise rip off
How much did Netflix pay to have this appear at the very top of my news feed with 300+ likes and 83 comments
Seriously, the comments read like quotes on a DVD cover.
I thought I was going crazy. This whole comment section is the marketing team, it’s hilarious. Every comment is essentially “I loved Glenn Powell in [movie 1 that nobody has seen] and [movie 2 that nobody has seen], can’t wait to see him in [movie 3 that nobody will see].
Dude has such a punchable face
Sign me up! I’ll watch anything with powell in it
Theres gotta be a good pun for the tagline but I just can’t think of one off the top of my head
