final cut of the movie apparently Justin had created a director's cut that performed better during test screenings but Blake wasn't a fan reports suggest that she bypassed Justin and went directly to Sony to have her preferred version of the film released instead given Blake's power and influence in Hollywood she got her way and her cut became the final version seen in theaters according to these rumors Blake's version of the movie took a lighter approach focusing Less on the serious issues at the heart of the story something Justin's original version reportedly handled with more depth and sensitivity while none of this has been confirmed the fact that there's a director's has been acknowledged and the hash release the baloni cut even trended for a while on social media as if the alleged Feud over the Final Cut wasn't enough the movie's marketing strategy added fuel to the fire fans noticed that it ends with us was being marketed in a way that didn't seem to align with the tone of the book the film tackles heavy topics like domestic violence yet the promotional materials painted it as a light-hearted romantic comedy Blake Lively who played a pivotal role in the marketing leaned into this narrative sharing playful floral themed promotions girls night out vibes and even flower shop collaborations the promotions also included cooking videos with Tik Tok stars all of which seemed out of touch with the seriousness of the story what frustrated fans even more was that Blake used the movie's marketing to promote her personal Ventures she showcased her new hair brand featured her husband Ryan Reynolds Jin company and even tied in promotions for the Deadpool and Wolverine movies starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman while these moves were smart from a business standpoint they didn't sit well with fans who felt the movie's serious message was being overshadowed during interviews Blake's responses about the movie's themes also felt self-centered which further rubbed people the wrong way meanwhile Justin baldoni has consistently been vocal about the film's real message raising awareness for survivors and supporting the cause this Stark difference in approach left many fans sympathizing with Justin in this behindth scenes drama as if things weren't already tense rumors started swirling that Ryan Reynolds Blake Lively's husband actually rewrote parts of the script without anyone's knowledge something that could have violated some serious rules here's where it gets interesting the alleged rewrites reportedly happened during the writer strike which if true would have been a major breach of the strike's regulations according to reports the original screen play had already been submitted before the strike began meaning the script was locked in no changes were supposed to be made once the strike was underway however word got out that Ryan had made tweaks to the script after the fact and this caught everyone off guard including the writers and even the film's director Justin baldon Blake Lively later mentioned in an interview that Ryan's stamp was all over the movie which was when people realized these changes hadn't been authorized until that point most people assumed any rewrites had come from one of the screenwriters to make matters worse it said that the rewrites shifted the film's tone making it more of a light-hearted romcom than the heavy-hitting drama it was meant to be for many this was just another instance of Blake having more control over the project than Justin beyond the behind the-scenes script changes there were reports of onset tensions between Blake Lively and Justin baldoni sources claim that the two Stars budded heads quite a bit throughout filming one particularly heated moment occurred when Justin reportedly asked Blake how much she weighed for a scene in which he had to lift her according to rumors Blake was deeply offended by the question believing it was unnecessary and body shaming however it's been pointed out that Justin has a history of back problems and only asked her weight to ensure he could train properly to avoid injury during the stunt the drama didn't end there there were also claims that Blake was uncomfortable during a kissing scene with Justin allegedly feeling that the kiss lasted too long it's important to note that Justin is married and by all accounts has a great relationship with his wife so many fans believe he had no ill intentions nevertheless rumors spread that the cast and crew were divided into Team Blake and team Justin making for an awkward and tense environment on set although this division was never confirmed The Whispers were enough to add fuel to the drama fire despite all the tension surrounding the film fans are still hoping for more from the story Colleen Hoover's novel it ends with us actually has a sequel called it starts with us and many have been eagerly awaiting news on whether the film adaptation will continue into a second movie given that Justin baldoni owns the rights to the novel it seemed like a no-brainer that he would be involved in any potential sequel however when Justin was asked about his involvement in a follow-up his response caught stand off guard Justin stated that while there are no formal plans for a sequel just yet he won't be directing the next movie if it happens he mentioned that there are better people suited for the job and that Blake seemed ready to direct this led some to believe this might have been a subtle jab at Blake after the behindth scenes chaos others think he might just be praising his co-star and trying to bury the drama to move forward peacefully regardless of the reason it's clear that the tension between and Justin could impact the chances of a sequel though fans are holding out hope that the drama won't stand in the way of continuing the story thanks for watching what do you think about the behind the-scenes drama what did you
