Blake Lively is set to both star in and produce the action romantic comedy “The Survival List” at Lionsgate.
The story follows a highbrow reality TV producer named Annie who, against her wishes, is assigned to a new show hosted by a famous survival expert, Chopper Lane.
However, when a shipwreck strands them on a deserted island, Annie discovers Chopper is a fraud and knows nothing about survival, leaving her in charge of figuring out how to keep them alive.
Forced to work together, they begin to discover an unlikely chemistry. Lively will team with “Wicked” and live-action “How to Train Your Dragon” producer Marc Platt on the feature which is a spec script penned by British scribe Tom Melia.
Lively has been in the spotlight more for her very public legal battles with her “It Ends with Us” co-star/director Justin Baldoni than her onscreen work, though did appear in “Another Simple Favor” on Amazon Prime earlier this year.
That legal battle is still ongoing with no real signs of stopping anytime soon.
