Movie and book lovers rejoice: It is finally almost time for the It Ends With Us movie to hit theaters. Based on the best-selling book by Colleen Hoover, the plot is told in a dual timeline and follows a woman named Lily Bloom. The past timeline follows a young Lily who lives in an abusive household and finds solace in a young homeless man named Atlas Corrigan. The present timeline follows an adult Lily as she begins dating Ryle Kincaid, who soon turns darker than Lily ever thought possible, leaving her no choice but to find comfort in Atlas once again.

The movie — which releases on Friday, August 9, 2024 — is set to follow the exact same plot. It was written by Colleen Hoover and Christy Hall with Justin Baldoni directing. Baldoni is also set to star in the film as Ryle. To learn more about him and the rest of the It Ends With Us cast keep reading!

PERSONAL: Lively has been married to Ryan Reynolds since 2012. They have four children together.

THOUGHTS ON IT ENDS WITH US: "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 honor the book and honor the fans, and, I think, really make something that works even by itself.”

THOUGHTS ON IT ENDS WITH US: "I wanted women of all ages to be able to see themselves, and aging up the characters, I think, really helps it become a universal story, and it takes it out of the YA genre. I believed, from the beginning, that Blake Lively is aspirational to young women and would never be seen as too old once they saw the movie."
