First look at Blake Lively in It Ends With Us as trailer drops

The first trailer for Blake Lively movie It Ends With Us has dropped, and it looks like it's going to be a teary ride.

Watch her in action below:

Last year, it was announced that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni had been cast as the leads in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hugely successful romance novel It Ends With Us.

It tells the story of Lily Bloom, a small town girl who moves to Boston to start her own business.

Sparks immediately fly between her and neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, but he has a very strict ‘no dating rule’ and hates relationships.

Naturally, she wonders why he’s like this but at the same time, she becomes overwhelmed with thoughts about her first love, Atlas Corrigan.

When Atlas suddenly comes back into her life, her situation with Ryle becomes threatened.

After the long-awaited trailer dropped ahead of the film's release later this year, fans went into overdrive.

"SCREAMING, CRYING AND THROWING UP," one commented.

Someone else said: "I KNEW THEY’D DO WELL WITH THIS MOVIE."

Many others were also buzzing to hear a familiar song, with one fan writing: "People need to start using more Taylor Swift songs in their movie trailers. That’s all I’m sayin."

Another gushed: "MY TEARS RICOCHET WHATTTTT."

Lively previously told People she hoped her love of the original source material - and the character she plays - would shine through in the film.

"Lily resonated with an enormous amount of people, as the success of the book made clear," she said.

"Stepping into a character who’s had such a meaningful impact is an honor to take on. I loved Lily, and I hope that love is felt by those who care about her like I do, and also those who are getting to know her for the first time in this film."

Author Colleen Hoover added that it felt like a 'dream come true' to see her characters 'come to live on the big screen'.

"The movie experience adds another layer to the connection readers already have with the characters," she said.

"The power of visual storytelling is undeniable, and it can evoke even stronger emotions and empathy from the audience by bringing a sense of immediacy and intensity to the story. I definitely felt so much while watching the adaptation."

She added that Jane the Virgin star Baldoni - who also directs - had 'maintained the essence of this book in a delicate and beautiful way'.

"The readers are the reason this book has been adapted, and I appreciate how much Justin wants to make sure those readers get the movie they deserve," Hoover said.

"I’m confident they’ll be happy with what has been created."

It Ends With Us hits cinemas on 9 August.
