As a long-time fan of both Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, I must say that I find myself intrigued by this behind-the-scenes drama surrounding “It Ends With Us.” The movie looks promising, but the rumors about tension between its director and star have definitely caught my attention.
As a fervent admirer, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of “It Ends With Us,” a film that seems destined for success. However, the buzz surrounding the purported off-screen drama between director Justin Baldoni and star/producer Blake Lively, along with her husband Ryan Reynolds, has been dominating social media discussions. The speculation about their working relationship and the potential causes of any reported tension behind the scenes is intriguing indeed.
What Justin Baldoni Said About Working With Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds
During this press tour, even though there have been rumors of tension and Lively not discussing much about the director of “It Ends With Us”, Baldoni has consistently given her high praise. More recently, he commended her performance in the movie when talking to Today, stating:
As a film critic with over two decades of experience, I have seen countless movies and met numerous talented individuals in the industry. However, there are rare instances when I come across someone like Blake Lively who leaves a profound impact on a movie, making it significantly better from start to finish. Her energy and creative flair permeate every scene she’s in, and her gift for adding levity to the story is truly exceptional. Ryan Reynolds is another such creative genius, whose unique sense of humor elevates every project he works on. Having worked with both of them in my career, I can confidently say that they are not just talented actors, but true artists who breathe life into their roles and contribute significantly to the overall success of a film.
It’s been said that the rumored involvement of Ryan Reynolds in the movie – as Lively claims, he wrote a crucial scene for the film – along with a revised version of the project (among other factors) might have led to the conflict between Baldoni and Lively. Notably, Reynolds also participated in promotional activities for “The It Ends With Us,” an endeavor that the movie’s director was not associated with.
In the very same piece, Justin Baldoni described the process of both acting in and directing the screen adaption of Colleen Hoover’s popular book as a “tremendous task.” He further shared his experiences dealing with “complicated characters,” expressing this to the media outlet: “[I had to] maneuver through intricate personalities.”
As a film enthusiast, I find each cinematic creation awe-inspiring. Navigating intricate characters and ensuring we all share the same creative vision is a challenging yet thrilling journey. Inevitably, errors occur, but overcoming these missteps and learning from them is an essential part of the process.
It’s clear that no specific names were mentioned, but as you see, he had nothing but praise for Blake Lively. However, some curious observations have been made – like him not appearing with the rest of the cast at the premiere, and neither Lively, Hoover, nor others follow him on Instagram. These new comments further fuel the whispers about a potential tension backstage. It’s intriguing to ponder: would he collaborate with them again?
Would Justin Baldoni Work With The Couple Again?
Following discussions about the hurdles faced during the production of “It Ends With Us“, and acknowledging the Gossip Girl actress’s extensive contributions to various aspects of the project, Justin Baldoni was inquired if he would collaborate with her and Reynolds again. In response, he expressed:
If they’d have me.
It appears he’s receptive to the concept, but when inquired about directing a possible follow-up to “It Ends With Us“, he told ET that it’s not the right moment yet, and perhaps they should ask again later.
Having honed my craft as a successful actress for over two decades, I firmly believe that Blake Lively has the potential to excel as a director. With her extensive understanding of the industry and the ability to bring characters to life on screen, she possesses a unique perspective that would make her a valuable asset behind the camera. Her journey in front of the camera, combined with her natural talent and dedication, suggests that she is ready to take on the challenge of directing. I eagerly await her directorial debut!
It appears that the actor from “Jane the Virgin” might not be interested in directing the film adaptation of “It Starts With Us”, a sequel to “It Ends With Us”. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of working with Lively and her husband again.
All in all, there’s still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the details of the alleged drama regarding “It Ends With Us,” with new speculations surfacing daily.
We’ll make sure to share updates as we gather insights from the cast regarding each other and the movie’s reception. In the meantime, for your own knowledge, check out our interviews featuring Lively, Baldoni, and others, and don’t forget to catch the movie in theaters right away!
