Blake Full of life Will Star in It Ends With Us, Adapted From Colleen Hoover’s Bestselling Book
After staking her flag within the rolling hills of BookTok, bestselling creator Colleen Hoover is taking her empire to Hollywood, and she or he’s bringing Blake Full of life together with her. Her smash-hit sensation It Ends With Us has greater than just a movie deal; it has Full of life because the star, set to play protagonist Lily within the “romance,” even when that genre label could be something of a misnomer. (We’ll get to that in a bit.) Within the meantime, here’s what little we all know concerning the movie to this point.
Who’s within the solid of It Ends With Us?
Full of life, of Gossip Girl infamy, will star as Lily, the film’s lead and the central figure in Hoover’s chart-topping book. It’s not yet clear whether Full of life, 35, will play Lily on the age she was originally written; within the novel, she’s a recent college graduate.
Jane the Virgin alum Justin Baldoni will play Ryle, a neurosurgeon and Lily’s love interest.
Up to now, Sony Pictures has not announced another solid members.
What’s the movie about?
Based on Hoover’s book—which helped the creator outsell the actual Bible in 2022—the film will follow a Boston flower-shop owner recently out of school. On the time we meet her, Lily is struggling over the death of her abusive father. But then she meets Ryle, a handsome doctor with whom she sparks a right away rapport. Although he’s not excited about any type of real commitment, he eventually agrees to something like a relationship between the 2 of them. Initially, their love affair is electrical, however it’s not long before his arrogance gives option to violence.

As such, the story is difficult to categorise as a “romance,” even when hundreds of thousands of fans, a.k.a CoHorts, find it profound. A tale consumed with the thorny dynamics of affection and abuse, It Ends With Us has also earned its justifiable share of criticism for, intentionally or not, glorifying domestic abuse—or not less than irresponsibly framing it. (A coloring book version of It Ends With Us, for example, was recently pulled after serious backlash.)
When does It Ends With Us come out?
The movie’s currently in development, so it might be a superb while before Full of life’s starring role hits screens. But given the fan fervor across the book, we are able to bet production will likely be on as much of a fast-track as possible.
This story will likely be updated.
