Lively, Baldoni Film Trial Faces New Timeline Snag
26 Mar
Summary
- Baldoni's team requested a trial extension due to voluminous documents.
- Lively's team submitted nearly one thousand documents and over 40 witnesses.
- The trial for the 'It Ends With Us' adaptation is scheduled for May 18.
The legal proceedings concerning the adaptation of the novel 'It Ends With Us,' involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, are facing a potential delay. Baldoni's legal representatives, acting for the director and Wayfarer Studios, have formally requested an extension for the final pretrial conference.
This request stems from allegations of a significant "document dump" by Lively's legal team. They reportedly submitted close to one thousand documents and identified more than 40 potential witnesses, which Baldoni's side deems superfluous to the case.
The trial itself remains officially scheduled to begin on May 18. While the requested extension might not necessarily alter the trial date, any further manipulation of the timeline could introduce uncertainty into the proceedings.
