Christy Hall, the screenwriter behind the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel "It Ends With Us," shares her experience of transforming the beloved story into a screenplay to The Hollywood Reporter. Hall describes the pressure she felt to do justice to the book, not just for the fans, but for everyone involved in the film, including Hoover herself.
Hall details her immersive process of adapting the novel, emphasizing the importance of staying true to the core story while strategically navigating the limitations of a screenplay. She also discusses the delicate handling of the film's heavy themes of domestic violence, highlighting the collaboration with organizations like NO MORE to ensure accuracy and sensitivity.
Despite being unable to be on set due to the writers' strike, Hall remained actively involved as a producer, providing notes on the edit and ensuring the film stayed true to its source material. She expresses her pride in the final product and the cast's performances, particularly Blake Lively and Jenny Slate.
Hall hopes the film will destigmatize the conversation around domestic violence and inspire those affected to seek help. She believes that art has the power to shed light on difficult topics and spark conversations that can ultimately save lives.
