Blake Lively to make directorial debut with ‘Seconds’

Los Angeles, May 2 : Actress Blake Lively will take on directing duties for "Seconds".

The Gossip Girl star will make her feature film directorial debut with an adaptation of Bryan Lee OMalleys graphic novel, which follows Katie Clay, who receives the power to fix her mistakes by writing them down, eating a mushroom and falling asleep, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Katie enthusiastically embraces her new power, only to create new problems for herself and taking her further from both the life she once had and the fabric of time and space.Edgar Wright, who directed 2010s Scott Pilgrim vs the World, which is based on another of OMalleys novels, has adapted the screenplay and will also produce Seconds alongside veteran producer Marc Platt.

Although this is Blakes first time behind the camera on a movie, shes previously received two ACM Award nominations for directing and producing her friend Taylor Swifts music video I Bet You Think About Me (Taylors Version).Meanwhile, Livelys husband, Ryan Reynolds, recently insisted he doesnt want to follow in her directorial footsteps because hed rather act or produce.

He said of the possibility, "It genuinely doesnt.Storytelling interests me in every way, shape, and form.Producing interests me in every way, shape, and form.Same with performing.

""And I get to work with guys like Shawn Levy," he added."I dont know why I would try to think I can do that on my own.That would be idiotic."Reynolds explained that he enjoys the process of working with a director and wouldnt want to deny himself that chance by getting behind the camera.

He explained, "I also just really feel like, why would I deprive myself of that amazing collaborator? I just think thats so important in everything that I do.I dont ever pretend to be a person whos just unilaterally deciding this or that.""I love the creative process of having someone to bounce something off of.I love the creative process of trial and error, of ripping something apart and rebuilding it again," he continued."Thats the thing Im most interested in, and I love doing that with someone.
