As a devoted follower and admirer of Blake Lively’s exceptional talent and captivating performances, I find it disheartening to witness the turmoil that has enveloped her recent project, “It Ends With Us.” The drama surrounding the production seems to be an unwelcome distraction from the powerful narrative the film presents.
The emotional turmoil depicted within the 130-minute span of “It Ends With Us” is intense, but the real-life drama surrounding the film continues unabated. Recent reports suggest that star Blake Lively is worried about her career coming to an end due to the ongoing controversy surrounding the movie. Adapted from Colleen Hoover’s novel, “It Ends With Us” finds Lively portraying Lily Bloom, a woman whose seemingly ideal life takes a dark turn as she becomes entangled in the vicious cycle of domestic abuse. Despite its modest $25 million budget, the film has already grossed an impressive $242 million at the global box office in only two weeks.
A reliable insider reportedly shared with The Daily Mail that the ongoing controversy surrounding “It Ends with Us” has been causing distress for Lively. In fact, she’s become concerned that her future collaborations in Hollywood may be jeopardized because of it. This turmoil stems from several factors such as Lively having disagreements with her director and co-star Justin Baldoni, criticism over the use of a controversial song, and backlash related to Lively’s interview handling prior to the film’s release. However, despite her best efforts to remain unaffected, the source revealed that Lively, like any other human being, is now concerned about the potential impact all this negativity could have on her career in the industry.
Blake finds herself dreading the possibility that others may reject her following this incident, despite her efforts to remain unfazed.
According to reports, Lively is contemplating taking a break from public life temporarily to calm things down and reevaluate her future plans. This announcement follows barely two weeks since it emerged that Baldoni had brought in a crisis management PR team to handle the wave of negative feedback.
She really wants to continue producing and directing and acting but she knows she needs to take a step back for a minute to reassess the future.
Will It Ends with Us Ever Get a Sequel?
This entire spectacle seems akin to a scene straight from the “E! True Hollywood Story,” leading us to ponder: might there be a sequel in store for “It Ends With Us”? Indeed, Hoover continued the narrative with 2022’s “It Starts With Us,” delving not only into the relationship between Lily and Atlas, but also addressing the repercussions of her departure from her abusive partner, Ryle.
According to Publisher’s Weekly, this book is an impressive sequel and has potential for a movie adaptation, similar to the success of “It Ends With Us”. However, considering the past history between Baldoni and Lively, it’s highly improbable they would work together again. This means that if the project progresses, Baldoni’s dual roles as both actor and director might need to be reassigned. Alternatively, there’s a possibility that Baldoni could rejoin the project, with Lively’s role being given to a new actor instead. It’s quite a headache-inducing situation indeed.
At present, there’s uncertainty about whether there will be a follow-up to the novel “It Ends With Us“. If it does materialize, it might not occur for several years or even longer. For now, we should stay attentive and observe how events unfold. If Lively’s career does indeed come to an end after more than 25 years, that remains to be seen.
