Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Blake Lively’s upcoming romance drama It Ends With Us, which is a film adaptation of the Colleen Hoover-written novel of the same name.
Lively plays Lily, a small-town girl who moves to Boston to start her own business. She ends up meeting Ryle, a neurosurgeon who is finishing his residency, played by Justin Baldoni. While the two instantly hit it off, they are looking for different things.
It Ends With Us tells the “compelling story of Lily Bloom (Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business.
“A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni) sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents’ relationship.
“When Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future.”
Lively talked about the film, saying: “Lily resonated with an enormous amount of people, as the success of the book made clear.”
She added: “Stepping into a character who’s had such a meaningful impact is an honor to take on. I loved Lily. And I hope that love is felt by those who care about her like I do, and also those who are getting to know her for the first time in this film.”
Baldoni not only stars in the film, but he also directed it. Sony Pictures will release the film in theaters on August 9th.
