Want to know more about the Verity movie? Here's all the details we've got so far.

When was the Verity movie confirmed?

Verity was published by Colleen Hoover, who also wrote It Ends With Us, in 2018 and last May 2024 it was confirmed Amazon MGM Studios would be adapting the novel into a movie.

This isn't Hoover's first novel to be made into a movie - last year we saw the adaptation of It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

What is Verity about?

Verity is likely to follow a similar plot to the novel about a young struggling writer by the name of Lowen Ashleigh. Facing financial ruin, Lowen accepts the job of a lifetime to finish the novels of best-selling writer Verity Crawford.

Verity has had a mysterious accident which has left her unable to finish her works and so her husband Jeremy hires Lowen to do it for her.

However, as Lowen spends more time on the Crawford estate and digs further into Verity's novels and unfinished manuscript, she discovers a chilling secret about Verity's past and finds out things are not exactly as they seem for this seemingly perfect family.

Who is in the cast of Verity?

Very exciting news! Anne Hathaway has officially been cast in the role of Verity, the mysterious writer whose works Lowen must continue.

Hathaway's role was confirmed on 20th November 2024, alongside the appointment of Michael Showalter as director of the project.

Also joining the cast are Dakota Johnson in the other lead role of Lowen Ashleigh, with Josh Hartnett playing Verity's husband Jeremy.

In late February 2025, it was also confirmed Ismael Cruz Cordóva, Brady Wagner, Irina Dvorovenko, K.K. Moggie, and Michael Abbott Jr would also be joining the cast in yet undisclosed roles.

What have we seen of the Verity movie so far?

On 12 March 2025, we got our first look at Dakota Johnson's character Lowen as she took to the streets of New York to film alongside Josh Hartnett.

The pair appeared to be filming a particularly graphic scene, with Dakota seen covered in fake blood. There was also what appeared to be a car crash scene set up.
