Blake Lively<\/strong> has her eye on the prize.<\/p>\n

Nearly a week after settling her disastrous lawsuit with It Ends With Us<\/em> co-star Justin Baldoni<\/strong>, we\u2019re hearing the Simple Favor<\/em> star has her sights set on winning back fan favor\u2026 and she\u2019s already set the wheels in motion!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, an insider spoke to The US Sun<\/em> about the controversial actress, who has clouded her once-shining Hollywood image alongside Justin in the wake of their litigation. But after finally settling out of court last week, Blake immedia<\/a>tely transitioned into image-rehab mode\u2026 because according to the source, her surprise Met Gala<\/strong> app<\/a>earance was a strategic move:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat was no accident \u2014 she knew all eyes would be on her and she wanted them to be. It was a clear message that she had drawn a line on this awful saga and that she is ready to publicly move forward with her head held high, rather than hiding away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The insider touched on the fact that Ryan Reynolds<\/strong>\u2019 wife is now \u201cquietly pursuing Justin to cover her legal fees post-settlement,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBlake feels she\u2019s spent enough time hunkering down and doesn\u2019t believe she has any reason to disappear and retreat from the spotlight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And so, her goal is to \u201crehab\u201d her tainted image with a major return to the big screen! The source noted:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cShe wants to go back to people remembering her for being a good actress, as that all seems to have been forgotten in all of this. Every story became about her being a \u2018mean girl\u2019 and she\u2019s devastated because she thinks it\u2019s undone all the years of TV and movie hits she\u2019s had. At times, when the backlash was at its worst, she felt like she was the most hated woman in Hollywood, and she desperately wants to rehab her image. She wants to get back to mass appeal romantic comedy leads she hopes will make audiences warm to her again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 38-year-old currently has multiple projects in the works, including The Survival List<\/em>, where she will play a TV producer stranded on an island with a celebrity survivalist, The Making Of<\/em>, which she\u2019s set to star in alongside Richard Gere<\/strong> and Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/strong>, and a film adaptation of author Liane Moriarty<\/strong>\u2019s book The Husband\u2019s Secret<\/em>, according to IMDb<\/strong>. The insider noted of the latter:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis has been in the works for a few years but Blake is now fully focused on it. It\u2019s just the kind of project she wants \u2014 a relatable lead, a twisty subject matter and a powerhouse novel with a built-in fan base.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully THIS book adaptation turns out less litigious than It Ends With Us<\/em>!!!<\/p>\n

But beyond acting, Blake reportedly wants to cement her spot as a powerhouse producer:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also important for Blake to continue with her executive producing \u2014 she has done it twice before, on Another Simple Favor<\/em>, and on It Ends With Us<\/em>. But she was reported to be feuding with Anna Kendrick while shooting the former, and obviously we all know how the latter turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The source cited Nicole Kidman<\/strong> and Reese Witherspoon<\/strong> as two leading ladies Blake plans to model her path after:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cShe wants to show that she can produce movies<\/a> without all the backstage drama being the talking point and follow in the footsteps of someone like Nicole Kidman or Reese Witherspoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whew, what an ambitious plan! Certainly a lot different than Justin\u2019s\u2026 It might be a tough road to walk winning back fan favor, but if anyone has rock solid determination, it\u2019s Blake!<\/p>\n
