Amazon MGM’s upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel Verity has gained more star power. After Anne Hathaway was announced to play the titular role, Deadline has now confirmed that Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett are joining the cast, bringing more power to the cast. The film based on the widely popular thriller is already generating buzz among fans of the book and moviegoers alike. Now, with this stellar cast the excitement has certainly reached a whole new level.
The story revolves around Lowen Ashleigh (played by Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer hired to complete the book series of renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway). Verity is unable to finish the series due to a mysterious accident and her husband, Jeremy Crawford (played by Josh Hartnett), brings Lowen into their sprawling estate for the project. However, things take a dark turn when Lowen discovers an unfinished manuscript that may reveal sinister secrets about the Crawford family’s past.
Reportedly, Verity will be directed by Michael Showalter with a screenplay penned by Nick Antosca. The project is being produced by an impressive lineup including Anne Hathaway herself under her banner Somewhere Pictures along with Hoover’s Heartbones Entertainment and Showalter’s Semi-Formal Productions. Dakota Johnson also serves as an executive producer.
The novel’s popularity has fueled high expectations for the film. Colleen Hoover’s works have seen tremendous success recently with her last adaptation It Ends With Us making waves at the box office when it hit the theatres on August 9. And with this latest project the trend continues, as fans eagerly await how the suspenseful twists of Verity will unfold on the big screen.
The film, expected to release in theaters under Amazon MGM, promises a gripping narrative about love, betrayal and chilling truths. With Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett stepping into key roles, anticipation for Verity has only grown.
