With his new film It ends with us in cinemas, the director and star reveals some of the Easter Eggs he has built into the film – which co-stars Blake Lively, Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate And Isabela Ferrer– because, as he noted, they could not include everything, Colleen Hoover's novel from 2016.

“I know there's something a lot of fans love from the book that didn't make it into the movie,” Justin explained in an August 23 Instagram video, “was the phrase 'just keep swimming' that Lily and Atlas shared throughout the book.”

The iconic phrase from the 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo— is a mantra that is repeated by Ellen DeGeneres' character Dory, who in the book becomes a motivational message between Lily (Blake) and Atlas (Brandon).

Although this line does not appear in the film, as long as you pay attention during the film, It ends with usyou may see some references to the cartoon.
