Blake Lively is getting ready to back to work. The actress lands her first movie role in three years with an adaptation of It Ends With Us. Blake wasn’t seen on the big screen since the 2020s The Rhythm Section. Lively will star alongside Justin Baldoni, who will also direct the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel.
The actress is currently expecting her fourth child and experimenting with bizarre fashion choices. Meanwhile, It Ends With Us was released in 2016 but earned a huge new fan base throughout the world in 2021. The story follows a young woman named Lily Bloom, who moves to Boston to start a new life and open a floral business. She meets and falls for a man named Ryle, though as their relationship starts heating up, her first love Atlas comes back into her life.
The novel was published by Atria Books in August 2016. At the time, Hoover revealed that the couple referred to in the book is actually based on her mother and father, calling it, ‘the hardest book I’ve ever written.’ As of 2019, It Ends With Us sold over 1 million copies worldwide and was translated into over 20 different languages.
Alex Saks will produce for Saks Picture Company, along with Jamey Heath for Wayfarer Studios and screenwriter Hall. Meanwhile, Blake Lively and Colleen Hoover are serving as executive producers along with Steve Sarowitz, Andrew Calof and Baldoni on behalf of Wayfarer, which is also co-producing. However, there is no official word yet on when production may begin, or if a release schedule is planned at the time.
