As a seasoned moviegoer who has witnessed more than my fair share of Hollywood dramas, I must say that the saga surrounding “It Ends With Us” is a tale as old as time itself – or at least as old as the silver screen. The film’s journey from page to stage has been fraught with controversy, casting debates, and behind-the-scenes scandals that would make even the most hardened cynic shake their head in disbelief.
At long last, I’m thrilled to share that “It Ends With Us,” the captivating movie based on Colleen Hoover’s beloved novel, will make its streaming debut on Netflix come December 9! Despite the turbulent journey this film has gone through prior to its August 9 theatrical release, it has undeniably proven itself as a box-office triumph, raking in an impressive $350 million. Now, with all the buzz surrounding it, I can’t wait for those who missed out on seeing it in August to dive into this compelling romance from the comfort of their homes and find out what all the excitement is about!
The controversy surrounding It Ends With Us begins with the novel, which some criticized for romanticizing abuse. However, the contention among fans didn’t end there. The casting of the film’s star, Blake Lively, became a topic of debate, as the actress is roughly 15 years older than the novel’s main character. Still, that was just the tip of the iceberg, as scandal after scandal began to mount behind the scenes.
Following the movie’s premiere in August, there were numerous accounts of tension between Lively and her co-star/director Justin Baldoni. Additionally, Lively faced harsh criticism during the press tour due to insensitive language used to promote the film about domestic abuse, such as “grab your friends, wear your florals.” Furthermore, she attempted to launch a new product line, and the movie itself received criticism for featuring a song penned and sung by an individual accused of abuse.
What’s Next for Blake Lively and ‘It Ends With Us’?
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’ve got to share some insider scoop about the potential follow-up to “It Ends With Us”. Despite its box office triumph, the drama unfolding behind the scenes might just have thwarted our dreams for a sequel. The ongoing tiff between Lively and Baldoni seems to be casting a long shadow over any prospects of future adaptations in this series.
Regarding Blake Lively, there’s concern that the film might have negatively impacted her acting career. To manage the controversy surrounding “It Ends With Us”, Lively enlisted the help of a crisis public relations team. In essence, it seems that the actress is apprehensive about future job opportunities due to the unfavorable media attention she’s been receiving.
Despite some anticipation, it appears that “It Ends With Us” is poised for Netflix’s Top 10 list upon its release on December 9th. The combination of buzz and its box office triumph should entice homebound moviegoers who missed out in August for various reasons. Perhaps this will offer fans a glimpse into the possibility of a sequel, though with current developments, it seems that production may remain stalled indefinitely.
