Blake Lively Dishes On It Ends With Us
Blake Lively has a message for all the fans who are a bit skeptical of the movie adaption of the best-selling book This is Us. She thinks that even the most skeptical will be satisfied with how they portrayed Lily’s story on screen.
She went on to say “Some people will always like a book better than a movie and some people like a movie better than the book. But I think that we just did our best to honor the book and honor the fans, and, I think, really make something that works even by itself.”
Blake didn’t stop there. She also said, “If you don’t know the book, the movie works. I don’t think there’s any way that if you read the book and you saw the movie that you wouldn’t be thrilled. We really worked hard on that. I also believe if you saw the movie and then read the book, you wouldn’t go, ‘Hold on, this isn’t like [the other].’ You can do either. I think they’re both really beautiful.”
