Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder’s savage parody of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell

Shots fired: Emma Stone and her latest co-star just released a shot-for-shot parody taking the mickey out of Sydney Sweeney.

The Curse stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder have whipped up a lightning-fast parody of the trailer introduction by Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, co-stars of the upcoming rom com Anyone But You.

The first full-length trailer for that film dropped on Friday, starring Sweeney and Powell as two wedding guests who can’t stand each other but decide to pretend they’re in a relationship.

The co-stars also shot an introduction to the trailer, in which they continue acting out their characters’ dislike of each other to rather cringey effect: “Check out the new trailer for my new movie,” Sweeney begins, before Powell interjects that it’s actually his movie.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney play up their love/hate relationship.

“It’s actually my movie,” she replies.

“Well, we’ll see whose movie it is when it comes out,” he says.

“OK – check out the new trailer for OUR new movie, Anyone But You. now. Better?” Sweeney continues, rolling her eyes at her co-star.

It’s a cutesy bit of banter that doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence about the two actors’ chemistry ahead of their film’s release – and one day on, Stone and Fielder appeared to take the mickey simply by shooting their own shot-for-shot remake as they introduce the trailer for their new show, The Curse. Here are Stone and Fielder, playing it straight as they recite that same cringey dialogue, word-for-word:

Hilariously, Fielder then doubled down on the joke, issuing a public notes-app statement in which he insisted he and Stone actually filmed their exact remake of Sydney and Powell’s video “over six months ago”, and that while he “personally will not be pursuing legal action,” “the marketing team at Sony Pictures somehow saw our promo and copied it.”

But he vowed that he and Stone would “personally be booking front row seats to Anyone But You on opening night.”

His commitment to the bit is just as unsettling as he and Stone’s new show, streaming locally on Paramount Plus, which sees them playing TV hosts on a home renovating series who move into a largely Mexican neighbourhood to improve (read: gentrify) the area.

Meanwhile, Sweeney and Powell’s Anyone But You, which was filmed in and around Sydney, is set to hit cinemas on Boxing Day.

The pair were back in Sydney last week after the Hollywood actor’s strike had lifted, apparently filming reshoots for the movie mere weeks before it’s meant to be released.
