Editors – Tia Nolan ACE and Kim Boritz
ANYONE BUT YOU editors Tia Nolan, ACE and Kim Boritz reunite and meet cute once again for a film that has been an absolute box office smash. In an era where prevailing “wisdom” says that you can’t get audiences out to the theaters for a romantic comedy, Tia and Kim’s little 25M film has racked up over 200M worldwide!
Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, ANYONE BUT YOU was directed by Will Gluck, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ilana Wolpert. The film stars Glen Powell as Ben and Sydney Sweeney as Bea. Despite having an amazing first date, Bea and Ben’s initial attraction quickly turns sour. When they unexpectedly find themselves at a destination wedding in Australia, the pair pretend to be the perfect couple to keep up appearances.
