As a die-hard fan who has followed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ careers since their days on Gossip Girl and Deadpool, respectively, I must say that the latest news about “It Ends With Us” is a fascinating turn of events. It seems like the behind-the-scenes dynamics of this romantic drama are as captivating as the film itself!
The release date for “It Ends With Us” has already passed, but due to its impressive performance at the box office, it continues to generate buzz among upcoming films in 2024, particularly with regards to events behind the scenes. The most recent tidbit about the creation of this romantic drama is that Ryan Reynolds’ involvement in scriptwriting was unexpected by the movie’s screenwriter, Christy Hall.
Blake Lively’s Comments On Ryan Reynolds Contributing To It Ends With Us
First, let’s clarify how Ryan Reynolds contributed to the film before delving into Hall’s latest updates about him. At the premiere of “It Ends With Us” in early August, Blake Lively revealed to E! News an interesting detail about Ryan Reynolds’ role in the movie’s production. In her own words:
The famous rooftop scene is something my spouse penned, a secret shared only with you now. Together, we’re a team. He contributes to every project of mine, just as I do to his. Therefore, his triumphs and joyful moments are also mine, and vice versa.
Blake Lively made a memorable appearance in both “Deadpool” and “Wolverine,” playing the character Ladypool. As the actress revealed, Reynolds’ involvement in “It Ends With Us” had been kept under wraps until she disclosed it to the press, but it seems that the film’s own screenwriter, Christy Hall, was already aware of it.
It Ends With Us Screenwriter Didn’t Know Reynolds Was Involved
Hall discussed with People about adapting Colleen Hoover’s hit novel, particularly the pivotal rooftop scene, which she unexpectedly learned that Reynolds revisited a second time during the process. She mentioned this as follows:
In simpler terms, there were a few small moments in the dialogue that seemed to me like they weren’t scripted but rather spontaneous. For instance, when he says, ‘Pretty please with a cherry on top,’ and she mentions maraschino cherries. When I noticed a certain scene cut, it felt charming and I thought, ‘That must have been an impromptu, adorable moment.’ If I’m informed that Ryan penned those lines, then fantastic, what a delightful touch!
Christy Hall appears unfazed by Ryan Reynolds adding his unique touch to the iconic scene from “It Ends With Us.” She explained to the media that this specific scene was the most challenging to portray in the book due to its near-perfect nature. The difficulty came from translating such a lengthy, significant moment from the novel into a screenplay. Hall further added that she found it tricky to adapt the scene for the movie version.
In other words, I didn’t create some minor additional details in the scene, but I suspect they were added during filming spontaneously. However, as mentioned earlier, the significant moments I felt should be emphasized are indeed present. Therefore, I acknowledge and am pleased with the final product. If those extra touches were by Ryan, then that’s terrific.
Over its initial three weekends in cinemas, the film “It Ends With Us” has amassed a total of $247 million globally. This puts it among the year’s top-performing movies (currently ranked 11th), and an impressive feat as it now holds the record for Blake Lively’s highest-grossing movie to date.
Despite its premiere, whispers of potential conflicts between Blake Lively and co-star/director Justin Baldoni during the filming of the romantic drama persist, as they rarely appeared together in interviews. Ryan Reynolds is among those speculated to be involved, yet Baldoni has consistently praised Reynolds and Lively’s working relationship, expressing a desire to collaborate with them again if given the opportunity. When questioned about directing a sequel, Baldoni hinted that Lively might be the one to step into the director’s chair instead.
As a gamer putting on my storyteller hat, let me tell you this: The screenwriter was totally cool with Ryan Reynolds tossing in his thoughts for the script, particularly when it made scenes pop even more. So, keep an eye out for that signature Reynolds charm in the rooftop scene of It Ends With Us, now showing in theaters near you.
