Blake Lively Announces First New Movie Since Justin Baldoni Lawsuit Drama

Amidst her ongoing legal battle with It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively has announced her next movie project.

Lively is best known for playing Serena van den Woodsen in the CW’s Gossip Girl show. She’s also starred in movies such as 2005’s The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, 2010’s The Town, 2011’s Green Lantern, 2015’s The Age of Adaline, 2016’s The Shallows, and 2018’s A Simple Favor, among other titles.

Following the release of the 2024 drama film based on the Colleen Hoover novel, Lively has been in the news largely because of her heated legal battles with Baldoni rather than for her acting. She did star in one movie that has been released since then, Another Simple Favor; however, that project was filmed in March 2024, before the It Ends with Us drama began.

What is the new Blake Lively movie?

Per The Hollywood Reporter, it has now been announced that Lively will star in and produce a brand-new movie called The Survival List. Marc Platt is producing the project, while Tom Melia wrote a spec script. Scott O’Brien is overseeing the movie for Lionsgate.

“An action romantic comedy, Survival List tells of a highbrow reality TV producer named Annie who, against her wishes, is assigned to a new show hosted by a famous survival expert, Chopper Lane,” a description of the project reads. “However, when a shipwreck strands them on a deserted island, Annie discovers Chopper is a fraud and knows nothing about survival, leaving her in charge of figuring out how to keep them alive. Forced to work together, they begin to discover an unlikely chemistry.”

No director is attached to the project at this time, and additional casting has not yet been announced. The Survival List does not yet have a release date.
