Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's dispute is moving from the movie set to the courtroom as a trial date is set.

Blake Lively has moved to depose a key player who allegedly played a part in the smear campaign she says was initiated by Justin Baldoni. Plus, a New York court has set a trial date for the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her It Ends With Us director and co-star.

A legal expert tells Page Six Baldoni’s team likely chose that massive amount to message he “will fight to the death to defend his name and bring Lively and Reynolds down.”
