The legal dispute between co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in the film adaptation of “It Ends With Us” persists, prompting author Colleen Hoover to shift her attention towards adapting another one of her books – “Verity“, published in 2018 – for the silver screen.
The romantic thriller revolves around struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, who is given the opportunity to complete the popular book series of the ailing author Verity Crawford when an accident leaves her unable to finish the job. Upon moving into Verity and her husband Jeremy Crawford’s residence to work on the manuscript, Lowen unearths Verity’s unfinished autobiography filled with shocking revelations. Initially choosing not to reveal the manuscript to Jeremy, she starts developing feelings for him, eventually leading her to reconsider her decision.
Similar to many of her novels, Colleen Hoover’s “Verity” sparked numerous discussions on BookTok. In May of last year, it was announced that this best-selling page-turner would be transformed into a movie.
Among fans, the most prominent question arises: Which actors will portray Lowen, Verity, and Jeremy? After three months, Colleen has revealed that the casting process is currently ongoing.
She mentioned in an episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” in August that she had recently gone through the script, expressing her enthusiasm about it. She added that they would be having actor discussions the following week.
By the end of 2024, the cast had been finalized with Anne Hathaway being selected as Verity, Dakota Johnson getting the role of Lowen, and Josh Hartnett chosen to play Jeremy. It’s worth noting that photos circulating online suggest that filming for the project has already commenced.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t hide my excitement! The pictures confirm the filming has started, yet the release date remains elusive. However, our seats are already taken in anticipation! Therefore, let me spill the beans on everything we know about this upcoming masterpiece thus far.
In the 2018 romantic thriller, a struggling writer named Lowen Ashleigh is hired to complete the popular book series left unfinished by the famous author wife Verity Crawford, following an accident. As Lowen delves into Verity’s notes and begins writing, she stumbles upon an unfinished autobiography containing startling revelations. At first, Lowen decides against sharing the manuscript with Jeremy Crawford, but her growing feelings for him lead to second thoughts. So far, it seems that the movie closely follows the events of the book. As described by Variety, the movie’s synopsis reads: “Upon arriving at the luxurious Crawford estate, Lowen gradually realizes that things are not as they seem when she discovers a secret, unfinished manuscript potentially revealing disturbing details about the family’s past. As Lowen befriends Jeremy and his young son Crew, she must determine if Verity’s writings are merely sensational fiction or a sinister warning from a madman.
Is it accurate that Anne Hathaway will be starring in the movie ‘Verity’? If the formidable Miranda Priestly were present, she might express her disinterest in such queries. However, it’s a fact! In November 2024, Amazon MGM Studios announced that the actress from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, indeed, will play the lead role in ‘Verity’. Although Anne Hathaway herself has not yet commented on the casting, she was seen on the film set in February 2025. Moreover, the author of ‘Verity’ has expressed her excitement about the Oscar-winning actress and producer for the movie joining the team. The author shared on Facebook in November that “I am so excited for this cast, script, director, and the entire team bringing ‘Verity’ to life…Cannot wait. More updates coming soon!
I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer as the news dropped sooner than expected! As a die-hard fan, I was beyond thrilled to learn in December 2024 that Dakota Johnson would be joining the cast, portraying Lowen Ashleigh.
Much like Anne, Dakota is not just an actress but also a producer on this film. Interestingly enough, she’s got her own book club, inspired by her quest for top-notch content for her production company TeaTime Pictures. I can hardly wait to see what she brings to the table!
In an interview with Bustle in March 2024, she expressed that many individuals share her passion for reading, but participating in book clubs. She often found herself thinking, ‘My approach to reading books is unique.’ She yearned for a deeper immersion, wanting to delve into the book, immerse herself in the language, and explore the references.
Simultaneously with the announcement of Dakota’s casting, the producers also unveiled that Josh Hartnett would be playing Jeremy Crawford.
Much like his fellow cast members, Hartnett from the movie Black Hawk Down has kept silent about the show Verity. However, he was spotted filming with Anne in February.
After the three lead characters were announced, Colleen expressed her feelings about the cast, stating in a December Instagram post “excited doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Michael Showalter is once again taking up the director’s role, as reported by Variety. He is not only directing but also producing ‘Verity’, along with Anne, Colleen, Dakota, and others. Michael has collaborated with Anne in the past, including on the 2024 film adaptation of ‘The Idea of You’. The script for ‘Verity’ is currently written by Nick Antosca, who has previously worked on TV shows like ‘Candy’ and ‘The Act’. Previous drafts were penned by Colleen, Lauren Levine, Hillary Seitz, Angela LaManna, Will Honley, and April Maguire.
In February 2025, Josh and Anne were captured on camera shooting the film “Verity” in Queens, New York. For a particular scene, Hallee from The Princess Diaries wore a high-necked, semi-transparent white dress, complementing it with a matching belt, sunglasses, and leopard-print heels. On the other hand, the Black Mirror actor opted for a gray shirt under a navy suit, complete with a brown belt and matching shoes.
In another scene, they were spotted grinning and running, with Josh dressed in a white button-down shirt, black pants, and a bow-tie, while Anne held his suit jacket (see the image here). The release date for this movie is still undisclosed.
