The most anticipated upcoming film based on the sensational book It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover has stopped production until the Writers Guild of America strike is resolved.
Filming of the film started on May 5, 2023, in Hoboken, New Jersey. The film star Blake Lively as Lily Bloom and Justin Baldoni as Ryle Kincaid and Baldoni has also served as the director of the film.
In an e-mail delivered by Wayfarer and Justin Baldoni they announced, “Due to the ongoing WGA strike and the lost days we have experienced due to picketing, we must make the difficult decision to temporarily shut down production. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible patience and unwavering dedication throughout this challenging period.”
The filming of the film has been paused until the Writers Guild of America strike will be resolved. The decision was made on 15 June 2023 after production was paused because the producers of the movie failed to convince the WGA that the co-financing status of Wayfarer Studios will be within the WGA guidelines.
According to Deadline, around 140 people are now out of jobs because of this shutdown. Along with the Last of Us some other popular projects have all been delayed or affected by the ongoing strikes which include Daredevil: Born Again, The Penguin, Yellowstone spin-off 1923, and Severance.
