Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone Parody Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in ‘The Curse’ Trailer

That was quick! On Friday, in a trailer for their Showtime series The Curse, Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone parodied a video featuring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell promoting their rom-com Anyone But You.

Dressed almost identically as Sweeney and Powell in their ad, which was posted the day prior, Stone opened the intro by asking the audience “Check out the trailer for my new show,” before Fielder responds, “My show” satirically showcasing the pair’s lack of chemistry.

By the end of the video, Stone says “Check the trailer for our show The Curse now… better?” Fielder responds, “Enjoy” before rolling her eyes, just like Sweeney did in the original version of the video.

We don’t mean to explain the joke but the recreation is silly because the plot of The Curse contrasts significantly from that Anyone But You. Fielder and Stone’s dark comedy showcases the downfall of an HGTV-esque couple after being cursed, while Powell and Sweeney’s film, out Dec. 22, is a rom-com. The lead-up to Anyone But You has seen Powell and Sweeney make tabloid headlines for a rumored affair between the actors. (He recently addressed the rumors in a Men’s Health cover, calling them “unfair.”)

Several hours after sharing the troll and trailer, Fielder posted a notes-app-written statement addressing the “similarities” between the trailer introductions, joking that it was actually the Anyone But You team copied The Curse.

“I want to be very clear – we shot this promo over six months ago, and I am seriously concerned that the marketing team at Sony Pictures somehow saw our promo and copied it,” he wrote. “I personally will not be pursuing legal action, but I cannot speak for Paramount+ or Showtime.”

Fielder continued by saying that he had given the creative team his “unyielding trust” and that he believed the skit was “wholly original and not lifted from competing projects or AI.”

“It’s unfortunate that Sydney, Glen, Emma and myself have been put in this situation,” he ended his note. “But this will not stop us from supporting each other’s successes, and I know that both Emma and myself will be booking front-row seats to Anyone But You on opening night.”

Anyone But You shared a trailer on Thursday. The film features the two Hollywood stars at a destination wedding where love is in the air — and so is their disdain for one another.

Sweeney and Powell’s characters — Bea and Ben — are old flames (or one-night-standers) who decide that, for mutually beneficial reasons, they should spend the duration of a wedding trip pretending to be head over heels in love with one another.

Helmed by Easy A-director Will Gluck, Anyone But You has been described as a modernization of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, hence the character names playing off of Benedick and Beatrice.

Meanwhile, 10-episode Showtime series (also streaming on Paramount+) The Curse is a confounding tale of a New Mexico house-flipping couple whose lives start to unravel after being cursed. The series’ second episode aired Thursday.
