AceShowbiz - Blake Lively revealed some of the behind-the-scenes drama that accompanied the making of "It Ends With Us." During a recent interview with Hits Radio UK, Lively illuminated the tension surrounding the inclusion of Lana Del Rey's song "Cherry" in a pivotal scene of the film. Lively, who portrays Lily Blossom Bloom, said she was "begged" to omit the song from the movie.

The drama centers on a moment in the film where Lily reconnects with her former high school love Atlas Corrigan, played by Brandon Sklenar, while she is exploring troubling signs of abuse from her current partner, Ryle Kincaid, portrayed by Justin Baldoni. Lively argued that the song perfectly encapsulated the charged and heavy emotions of this scene, stating, "I was like, the moment Atlas enters things are charged and heavy."

However, the creative powers behind the film, who Lively referred to as "they," thought otherwise. They contended that the song added an unnecessary weight to a moment when "things were still good with Ryle," a point of view Lively disagreed with fervently. She took the opportunity to voice her opinion, saying, "There's conflict, there's pain, there's turmoil, there's tension."

The back-and-forth didn't just stay behind closed doors; Lively's interaction with Baldoni, who also directed the film, seemed strained. Despite the controversy, the movie, written by Christy Hall and Colleen Hoover, who also penned the book it's based on, is moving forward.

Baldoni appears ready to hand over the directorial reins to Lively if a sequel, "It Starts With Us," is developed. "I think Blake Lively is ready to direct. That's what I think," Baldoni told Entertainment Tonight.

For fans of both Lively and Del Rey, the possibility of Lively directing the sequel means more opportunities for the inclusion of Lana Del Rey's evocative music. This behind-the-scenes drama has only added to the anticipation for the film's release, painting a picture of both creative tensions and passion driving the production.

In a world where both movies and music profoundly influence young audiences, this clash over artistic vision highlights the complexities involved in creating narratives that resonate deeply with fans. With the film's release on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether this controversy will impact its reception or add another layer of intrigue to its unfolding story.
