**Los Angeles, CA** – The cinematic adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel *Verity* is officially underway, boasting a star-studded cast led by Anne Hathaway. Following the success (and controversy) surrounding the film adaptation of Hoover’s *It Ends With Us*, *Verity* promises to be another major screen event.
Hathaway will play the enigmatic, possibly sociopathic, novelist Verity Crawford, alongside Dakota Johnson as Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to complete Verity’s book series. Josh Hartnett takes on the role of Jeremy Crawford, Verity’s husband. The film also features Ismael Cruz Cordova, Irina Dvorovenko, Lou Martini Jr., Michael Abbott Jr., K.K. Moggie, and Brady Wagner in supporting roles.
The thriller, described as a blend of *Jane Eyre* and true crime, follows Lowen as she uncovers disturbing secrets in Verity’s manuscripts, suggesting a dark past involving potential child murder. Simultaneously, Lowen finds herself entangled in a complex relationship with both Verity and Jeremy.
Director Michael Showalter, known for his comedic work but recently collaborating with Hathaway on *The Idea of You*, is at the helm. The screenplay, currently in its final form, is by Nick Antosca, after several earlier drafts. Filming commenced in March 2025, with a theatrical release planned, though no official date has been announced. The film is generating significant buzz, especially considering the immense popularity of Hoover’s novels within the BookTok community.
