The much-awaited film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s psychological thriller Verity has brought together some of the best in the industry in lead roles: Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett. Directed by Michael Showalter and backed by Amazon MGM Studios, this project promises to bring to life Hoover’s dark and suspenseful narrative.
Verity revolves around Lowen Ashleigh, an aspiring writer, who gets hired by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett) to complete a series of novels left unfinished by his wife, Verity Crawford, played by Anne Hathaway. Verity is incapacitated after an accident that leaves her in a mysterious coma, so her career is in limbo. As Lowen delves into Verity’s manuscripts, she finds that there are chilling secrets hidden within an autobiographical document that call into question the true nature of Verity’s accident—and her relationship with Jeremy.
Published in 2018, Verity started as a self-published novel that gained popularity and became a bestseller, selling more than a million copies. Its gripping storyline and jaw-dropping twists have made it a favorite among fans of psychological thrillers. The film adaptation comes at the heels of Hoover’s It Ends With Us, which recently found great success, further solidifying her impact on the literary and cinematic worlds.
Anne Hathaway’s role as mysterious and dangerous Verity Crawford brings gravity to the film, while Dakota Johnson promises emotional depth in Lowen. Josh Hartnett, fresh from the success of Oppenheimer, will surely bring another strong performance to the table.
With a combination of suspense, drama, and star power, Verity seems poised to become one of the most-awaited adaptations of the year. Fans of Colleen Hoover and psychological thrillers will be at the edge of their seats with excitement as the movie promises an edge-of-the-seat experience.
