Overview

• Lionsgate acquired the action rom-com for Lively to lead and produce, with no director or additional cast announced and Scott O'Brien overseeing.
• Written by Tom Melia, the film follows a reality TV producer stranded with a famed survival guru who is revealed to be a fraud.
• The project is Lively’s first role secured since she sued It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni in December 2024.
• A judge dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds in June, while the underlying case proceeds to a March 2026 trial.
• The Hollywood Reporter first detailed the deal, noting Lively’s collaboration with producer Marc Platt, as social media reactions included criticism and calls for boycotts.
