aug 6, 2024 - Lively Claim's Husband Reynolds Wrote Rooftop Scene

Description:

"44. More than a year later, during a red-carpet interview at the New York film premiere,
Lively stated, “The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that but you now.” This startling revelation directly contradicted Lively’s previous insistence that she had written the scene—and certainly casts Reynolds’ high praise for the rewritten scene in a different light. The film’s credited screenwriter, when asked about the claim that Reynolds had written the scene, graciously responded, “So if I’m being told that Ryan wrote that, then great, how wonderful.” She went on to acknowledge, “There were a few little flourishes that I did not write. . . and if those flourishes came from Ryan, I think that’s wonderful.” This was also the first time that Plaintiffs learned that Reynolds—who had no formal role whatsoever in the Film’s
production—had made unauthorized changes to the script in secret. Baldoni, equally blindsided
by this news, which he discovered in real time during a recorded interview with Access
Hollywood, reacted by also praising Reynolds, so as not to harm Lively, Reynolds (who apparently wrote the scene, and possibly others, during the WGA strike), or the Film."
