- Movies. Blake Lively channels various Taylor Swift eras for 'It Ends With Us' role
They say it's almost impossible for a movie to succeed if there's no chemistry between the actors both on and off the screen. It Ends With Us seems to be the exception to the rule.
The movie, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, is proving to be a huge success in theaters, despite the fact that the relationship between the two is practically nonexistent.
Hollywood sources suggest that the tensions between them arose during post-production.
According to some reports, two versions of the movie were made: one by Blake Lively, who served as the movie's executive producer, assisted by Shane Reid from Deadpool and Wolverine; and the other by Justin Baldoni, as the director (and co-star).
This was the source of the first conflict between the two.
According to TMZ, Baldoni's behavior on set could be considered almost "abusive" towards the other actors.
As a result, the differences between Lively and her co-star became irreconcilable shortly after filming It Ends With Us began. Baldoni attended the film's promotion alone, with no sign of Ryan Reynolds' wife.
Why Is Blake Lively Being Cancelled?
Fans have criticized Blake Lively for a recent interview she gave about the movie.
When asked various questions about domestic abuse, the central theme of It Ends With Us, the actress responded with trivialities that had little to do with such a sensitive issue.
Fans interpreted this as Lively not taking this important societal issue seriously enough.
Blake Lively corrected her stance a few days later and posted information on what to do if you are suffering from domestic violence.
However, it seems that public opinion has not forgiven the actress, who is still trying to explain to fans that it was all a misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, Lively and Baldoni remain in conflict over who will direct the sequel to It Ends With Us.
