On August 14, sources told TMZ<\/a> that Lively\u2019s discomfort allegedly stemmed from a scene in which Baldoni\u2019s character Ryle lifts her character Lily into the air. According to the tabloid\u2019s anonymous sources, \u201cJustin has a history of back problems and before lifting Blake, he went to his on-set trainer and asked how much she weighed and how could he train to protect his back from injury.\u201d Sources also claim that Lively took issue with how long Baldoni allegedly lingered during a kissing scene between the two of them.<\/p>\n Both Baldoni and Lively have nodded toward creative differences during the production. Baldoni argued that \u201cthere\u2019s always friction that happens when you make a movie like this,\u201d telling ELLE<\/em><\/a> UK, \u201cIt\u2019s that friction, I believe, that creates beautiful art.\u201d Meanwhile, Lively told Hits Radio UK<\/a> that she had to fight for the inclusion of Lana Del Rey<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cCherry\u201d in the final cut. \u201cThey begged me to take that song out of the movie,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI\u2019m not supposed to be talking about this. They felt like it was too charged and heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n Lively also raised eyebrows by telling E! News<\/em><\/a> at the It Ends With Us<\/em> premiere that her husband Ryan Reynolds wrote her and Baldoni\u2019s characters\u2019 meet-cute scene. \u201cThe iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that but you now,\u201d she said at the time. The film\u2019s actual credited screenwriter, Christy Hall,<\/strong> said she wasn\u2019t aware that Reynolds had contributed dialogue to the sequence. \u201cThere were a few little flourishes that I did not write, but I assumed that they had been improvised on set,\u201d Hall told People<\/em><\/a>. \u201cBut, again, like I said, the moments that I felt like needed to be honored are there. So I recognize the scene and I\u2019m proud of the scene. And if those flourishes came from Ryan, I think that\u2019s wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n What emerged from alleged discomfort and disagreement on set was a \u201cfracture among the filmmakers\u201d during the post-production process as two \u201cdifferent cuts of the movie emerged,\u201d sources told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. Lively, who was a producer on the film, reportedly commissioned her own cut of the film from the film\u2019s additional editor Shane Reid,<\/strong> a frequent collaborator with the actor and her husband. Reid was also the editor on Reynolds\u2019s Deadpool & Wolverine,<\/em> as well as Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cI Bet You Think About Me\u201d music video, which Lively directed.<\/p>\nDueling Versions of It Ends With Us<\/em> Reportedly Exist<\/h2>\n
