Blake Lively to Star In and Produce Lionsgate Action Rom-Com THE SURVIVAL LIST

After Another Simple Favor, Blake Lively is reteaming with Lionsgate on the Tom Melia spec The Survival List, in which she is set to star and produce. The film is described as an action rom-com, and it follows Annie, a highbrow reality TV producer who against her wishes is assigned to a new show hosted by 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.

Marc Platt, the Oscar nominee behind the Wicked films and the recent live-action How to Train Your Dragon, is in talks to produce alongside Lively. Scott O’Brien will oversee the project for Lionsgate.

Lively is also in early development on the Liane Moriarty-adapted film, The Husband’s Secret, as well as the romance The Making Of, in which she will star opposite Richard Gere and Diane Keaton, and a sci-fi thriller titled Proxy.
