“Anyway, as you could probably guess, this movie’s about two people that hate each other. Sydney plays a character [who is] a real nightmare,” he told the audience gathered at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Powell’s character, Sweeney said, is a real “a–h—.”
“And what better place to put a nightmare and an a–h— than on the other side of the world in the most romantic setting imaginable?” Powell teased of the film.
The theater lights dimmed to show the trailer, which Powell and Sweeney watched together from the side of the stage.
