Blake Lively on “It Ends With Us” movie adaptation: tried our hardest to respect the book and its readers
Los Angeles Fans of Colleen Hoover’s book “It Ends With Us” won’t be let down by the upcoming film, according to actor Blake Lively, who is slated to feature in the film.
Lively co-stars in “It Ends With Us” with Justin Baldoni, who also directed the movie.
“Some people will always like a book better than a movie and some people like a movie better than the book, but I think that we just did our best to honour the book and honour the fans, and, I think, really make something that works even by itself,” Lively stated in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The movie centres on Lily Bloom, who believes Ryle Kincaid to be the love of her life.
But as a distressing abuse episode brings back memories of her troubled background, she has to consider whether love alone can save her marriage. The reappearance of her first love—a man she took in many years ago when he was homeless—complicates matters even further,” according to the officials.
The “Gossip Girl” actor promised people they would like the movie even if they hadn’t read the book, and vice versa.
“The movie is watchable even if you haven’t read the book. I doubt there’s any way you wouldn’t be delighted if you saw the movie and read the book. We put a lot of effort into that.
“I also think you wouldn’t think, ‘Hold on, this isn’t like,’ if you watched the movie and then read the book. You have two options. They’re both very lovely, in my opinion,” she continued.
The cast of “It Ends With Us” also includes Jenny Slate, Alex Neustaedter, Isabela Ferrer, and Brandon Sklenar. The film is scheduled for release on August 9.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community
JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.
JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics. (Also Read: This Oscar-nominated actor lost out on Luna Lovegood role in Harry Potter, says how it ‘stayed with me over the years’)
What HBO said
“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.
It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”
A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”
About Harry Potter series
Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.
The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.
Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
