Justin Baldoni And Brandon Sklenar Star As Polar Opposites Ryle And Atlas In “It Ends With Us”

A new life in the big city sets up an opportunity for love for Lily Bloom, the main character in Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel It Ends With Us. Charismatic neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid is just that opportunity, sweeping Lily off her feet from the get-go. Playing the role of Ryle and helming the film as the director is actor Justin Baldoni, who’s known for his role as Rafael Solano in the hit satirical telenovela Jane the Virgin.

It was actually Hoover that suggested to Baldoni that he was the right man to play Ryle. “Ryle may not be exactly what viewers expect,” he says. “I wanted to portray him as a complex, smart man who has never dealt with old traumas. There is absolutely no excuse for what he does in the film. We wanted to show an example of a complex and seemingly impossible situation that so many people live through. Showing that there may be real love while not running away from that fact that there is also real harm.”

“I Just Fell In Love With Lily.” Blake Lively Captivates Audiences As Lily Bloom In “It Ends With Us”

“I saw a window display of her books—Colleen Hoover, Colleen Hoover, Colleen Hoover,” recalls Blake Lively, who knew that she was working with something special with It Ends With Us, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestseller. “Her name was everywhere. She speaks to an audience—her voice resonates with people. The stories she tells and how she tells them reaches out and grabs so many people.”

Lively plays the main role of Lily Bloom, a young woman who’s determined to break free from her past, but as she falls in love, finds herself falling into the same patterns she grew up with. Lively is also a producer for It Ends With Us, captivated by its story. “I just fell in love with Lily,” Lively says. “I wanted to tell her story because her emotional roadmap was so clear to me, yet there are so many ways she could be portrayed. I knew if I took her on, I would make sure she wasn’t a delicate flower, but a woman with both feet firmly on the ground. Someone in her skin. I thought it was important to see someone you think is settled in themselves get lost. It makes you realize you never really know what people are going through.”
