Ahead of the release of ‘It Ends with Us’ starring the ‘Gossip Girl’ fame Blake Lively, ‘Jane the Virgin’ star Justin Baldoni, and ‘1923’ star Brandon Sklenar, the film’s New York premiere took over fans of the novel and the stars. Slated for a release on August 9, the film’s premiere on August 6 saw the star looking sensational as they dressed in line with their characters. The slated film is based on Colleen Hoover’s eponymous best-selling novel with Justin Baldoni helming the film adaptation alongside headlining it. During the premiere, Baldoni revealed writing a letter to Hoover and reminisced how he landed the role while discussing any sequel possibilities.

Speaking about Hoover and how things played out, Justin said, “I feel like there was some divine guidance there. I don’t think it was the words, but the intention was that I wanted to make the movie and the kind of heart that I put into everything I do. And maybe that speaks more than words do. People can feel the intention, just like the difference between a grandmother’s food and the restaurant’s food. That’s the way we try to make movies, and I think Colleen just felt that.”
