What Was It Like Actually Filming It Ends With Us With Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni? Actor On Set Paints It In A Bad Light

Even though It Ends With Us premiered in August 2024, the movie remains in the spotlight for reasons other than a potential sequel. Instead, the focus is on the escalating legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the actor-director. A cast member has recently shared their experiences of witnessing this tension unfold on set.

The movie adaptation of “It Ends With Us,” currently streaming on Netflix, has been quite a hit. However, the conversation around this film has primarily revolved around legal issues that involved Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Recently, Thomas Canestraro, a stunt performer who joined the set during the last two weeks of filming, spoke to The Daily Mail about his experience. As he revealed:

You could tell that the set was tense. There was some discomfort from everybody.

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve been closely following the legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. The allegations she’s made against him, if true, are quite serious. Even as a relative newcomer like Canestraro, it was hard to miss the underlying tension on set. It leaves me wondering what really transpired during filming.

Previously, the stuntman had collaborated with Blake Lively on a project related to “A Simple Favor” (now streaming via Amazon Prime), and during this experience, unexpected events transpired. He recounted these occurrences by saying:

He mentioned that the shooting was taking more time than anticipated, which led to curiosity: “What’s going on here?”, “Why is it taking us so long to film this whole scene?”, and “Why aren’t we sticking to our schedule?

It’s likely that other actors and crew members also shared those thoughts while working on “It Ends With Us”. Despite this, a visible distance could be seen between Baldoni and the rest of the cast during the movie’s promotional tour.

Thomas Canestraro’s remarks illustrate a stark contrast in his work experiences with Blake Lively during their second project. Previously, he found the collaboration to be incredibly smooth and appreciated her kindness towards him. However, it seems that the dynamics were quite different on the set of “It Ends With Us“.

As a cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the tension surrounding the ongoing legal battle. Victorious in his defamation case, Baldoni is aiming for millions in compensation. With lawyers’ fees piling up, this dispute is certainly not cheap. And let’s not forget the potential impact it could have on their future prospects within our cherished industry. As of now, there are no upcoming projects listed on Baldoni’s IMDb page, hinting at an uncertain future.

It remains to be seen what the final outcome will be in court. Blake Lively has several films scheduled for release in 2025 and beyond, but this legal dispute could prove to be a significant financial strain.
