Now, after overcoming several challenges, including a production shutdown in June 2023 due to the WGA strike, the highly anticipated movie adaptation is finally hitting theaters on August 9. Starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the newly released trailer has fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
Still Can’t Get Over with the Trailer of ‘It Ends With Us’? Here’s Everything Else You Need to Know
Originally slated for release in February, Sony has finally unveiled the trailer for the much-anticipated movie adaptation of It Ends With Us, now expected to hit theaters in August. Bringing this emotional rollercoaster to life is Blake Lively, marking her big-screen comeback alongside American actor and director Justin Baldoni.
For those unfamiliar with the book, the story follows Lily Bloom, who moves to Boston to pursue her dream of opening a flower shop. There, she meets charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid and falls in love. However, as their relationship deepens, Lily begins to see unsettling parallels with her parents’ troubled marriage. Her world is further upended when her ex-lover, Atlas, reappears.
The recently released two-minute trailer captures the passion and turmoil of the story, featuring fans’ favorite quotes like, “We all have an idea of what love can be, that special connection you feel, that first kiss. But 15 seconds, that’s all it takes to completely change everything,” and the poignant voiceover, “As hard as this choice is, we break the pattern, or the pattern breaks us.”
Despite some backlash over the casting, particularly that the actors are older than the book’s characters, author Colleen Hoover explained the need for this adjustment, admitting it was a mistake to portray the characters as younger in the book. “I didn’t know that neurosurgeons went to school for 50 years. There’s not a 20-something neurosurgeon. We need to age them up because I messed up. So, that’s my fault.”
Published in 43 languages and selling more than 20 million copies, there’s undoubtedly a reason why fans are eagerly anticipating this movie adaptation. With such a massive following, the pressure is on for the film to live up to expectations. How do you think it will turn out? Will it effectively convey the emotional depth of the novel and leave audiences spellbound, or will it fall short of capturing the essence that made the book so beloved?
Your guess is as good as ours. Let’s wait and see how it all unfolds. Mark your calendars for August 9th!
