No "It Starts With Us" Movie Soon, Says Hoover

Colleen Hoover's "It Starts With Us," the follow-up novel to "It Ends With Us," is not slated for a film adaptation in the immediate future. Hoover recently indicated that fans should not anticipate a movie version anytime soon. She explained that "It Starts With Us" was created as a gesture of gratitude to her readership.

The film adaptation of "It Ends With Us," which recounts a personal story of domestic violence, achieved significant commercial success, grossing $351 million globally against a $25 million budget. However, this achievement has been somewhat overshadowed by a prolonged legal dispute involving the movie's co-stars, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Despite the surrounding controversy, Hoover expressed that the aftermath of "It Ends With Us" has been "unfortunate" but is becoming more manageable, allowing her to "separate" the film from the production's issues. While "It Starts With Us" is not expected to be adapted, "It Ends With Us" is available for streaming on Netflix, and Hoover's novel "Reminders Of Him" is currently in theaters.
