It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni unaware that rooftop scene with Blake Lively was 'actually written' by Ryan Reynolds

As an ardent fan with a knack for deciphering behind-the-scenes drama, I find myself utterly intrigued by this latest revelation about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s film, It Ends With Us. The news that Ryan Reynolds wrote a significant scene without Baldoni knowing is just the icing on the cake of this captivating tale!


It appears that Justin Baldoni was unaware that his co-star in “It Ends With Us,” Blake Lively, had enlisted her husband, Ryan Reynolds, to join the production of the film.

Despite Baldoni, 40, boasting to E! News during a red carpet interview that her husband ‘wrote’ the famous opening rooftop scene in the movie, a source suggests that Baldoni was unaware of Reynolds’ involvement in the creation of the scene.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I recently uncovered an intriguing tidbit: It turns out that the surprising disclosure left me in a state of astonishment, for I had assumed that Blake Lively’s impromptu actions during the scene were merely improvised. However, it seems Baldoni was taken aback to discover otherwise.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice that the publication pointed out that my beloved Ryan Reynolds didn’t answer a query concerning whether his creative endeavors might be in violation of the Writers Guild. This potential infraction could stir up quite a fuss about the credits, leaving me on the edge of my seat!

Indeed, it’s worth noting that movies sometimes feature unacknowledged scriptwriters. However, it’s unusual for a director to be oblivious to this fact.

A source also told the outlet that ‘there’s probably no world where these two will work together again.’ 

At the moment, neither Lively’s nor Baldoni’s representatives have responded to our request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Previously, I, a devoted admirer, discovered that Christy Hall, the talented screenwriter behind “It Ends With Us,” confessed to People magazine that she was unaware of certain script modifications made by Reynolds.

‘I noticed a few small moments that seemed spontaneous to me. For example, when he asks “Pretty please with a cherry on top,” and she mentions maraschino cherries. When I saw this, I thought it was an adorable improvisation. If Ryan wrote that, then it’s fantastic.’

She mentioned that she noticed a few subtle embellishments that weren’t part of her original script, but believed they were spontaneously created during filming.

She reiterated, “As I mentioned before, the significant moments have been acknowledged in the script. I acknowledge and take pride in this scene. If Ryan contributed to these embellishments, I think that’s fantastic.”

Hall confessed that the rooftop scene was likely the most challenging to portray since it was ‘absolutely brilliant’ in the original story.

She clarified that her initial approach for the scene was to stay as faithful as possible to Colleen’s original writing, using similar phrases.

‘I really, really tried because I just think that she did it best. What’s tricky about that scene is it’s long.’

In the process of publicizing the movie, Lively disclosed that the Deadpool actor, who is 47 years old, collaborated on writing the memorable rooftop sequence.

At the recent New York City premiere, Blake, the leading actress and producer of the movie, revealed to E! News that her husband was actually the author of it. This fact has been a secret until now.

In the recent film appearance where she portrayed Ladypool alongside Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine, the actress remarked, “We support one another. He’s involved in every project I take on, and I am with every project he has. Therefore, his victories and celebrations are also mine, and my triumphs belong to him as well.”

It Ends With Us is based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel published in 2016.

Over the last four weeks, Lively has encountered criticism due to her methods of promoting the movie, following rumors about a possible dispute between her and Baldoni, her on-screen romantic partner.

Furthermore, she has faced criticism for her previous actions that were reminiscent of a “bully,” such as unkind remarks and behaviors in numerous re-emerged interviews throughout the years. Notably, in various old recordings, she used the derogatory term ‘tranny’ towards transgender individuals.
