Have you ever wondered…what if Lili Reinhart put her own spin on Sliding Doors? Well, we're about to find out. The actor stars in Netflix's upcoming Look Both Ways, about a young woman, Natalie (Reinhart), who graduates college and immediately has a baby with a friend…or doesn't.
If she follows one path, she moves to Los Angeles to be an illustrator and hook up with a hot actor. If she takes another, she's a mom in Austin. It all hinges on the results of a pregnancy test. Wait, is this a dramedy or a horror movie?
In addition to Sliding Doors, the two-paths movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow, this multiple-timelines framing device has also been used by the Idina Menzel musical If/Then and, more recently, the short-lived NBC drama Ordinary Joe (although in that show, which was kind of a mess and I loved it, a man's life splits three ways). In fact, Natalie bears a striking resemblance to Ordinary Joe's pregnant-at-the-end-of-college blonde Jenny. Like, look! Same hair!
The movie also stars Luke Wilson and Andrea Savage as Natalie's parents and The Bold Type's Aisha Dee as her best friend. David Corenswet and Danny Ramirez star as her character's love interests.

Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a fun and fruitful post-Riverdale career for Reinhart. The CW show is coming to an end with its seventh season, freeing up the cast for other projects.
One thing she won't be doing? Promoting a crazy crash diet. Reinhart called out Kim Kardashian for bragging about starving herself for the Met Gala in May, and I gotta say, I agree with every word. “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are…because you haven't eaten carbs in the last month…all to fit in a fucking dress?…To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word…The ignorance is other-worldly and disgusting." she wrote online.
Look Both Ways drops on Netflix on August 17.
