CS Video: Blake Lively on the Magical Romance The Age of Adaline

Hitting theaters this Friday, The Age of Adaline hails from Celeste & Jesse Forever helmer Lee Toland Krieger and stars Blake Lively (“Gossip Girl,” The Town) as Adaline Bowman, a woman who, following a fateful accident, finds herself without the ability to age. By necessity a rolling stone, Adaline lives through most of the 20th century avoiding serious relationships with anyone. Then, one night on New Year’s Eve, she meets a charming stranger in Michiel Huisman’s Ellis Jones, a man who holds more secrets than even he himself is aware.

ComingSoon.net sat down with Lively, Huisman and Krieger to chat about the magical romance and, in the player below, you can can watch as they discuss Adaline’s vaguely comic book “origin story” and the actors reveal what role they would have gone after had they lived through the past century of cinema. Krieger also talks about the challenge the production faced in finding an actor to play a younger version of Harrison Ford’s character and their surprisingly simple solution.

The Age of Adaline is scripted by J. Mills Goodloe & Salvador Paskowitz and J. Mills Goodloe. Also starring Kathy Baker and Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn, The Age of Adaline arrives in theaters on April 24.
