Following the success of The Idea of You, Anne Hathaway has set her sights on another popular book-to-screen adaptation: Verity by Colleen Hoover. She’ll reunite with The Idea of You director Michael Showalter for the Prime Video movie.
“Verity is coming to theaters and I am so excited for this cast and the script and the director and the whole team bringing this to life. Cannot wait. More coming soon!” Hoover posted on Instagram.
Here’s what we know so far about the Verity movie.
It’s based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling psychological thriller.

According to a plot description from the publisher, “Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of the night her family was forever altered…”
The film’s script is written by Nick Antosca.
Hathaway will star as Verity Crawford.
In addition, Dakota Johnson will star as Lowen Ashleigh and Josh Hartnett will play Jeremy Crawford. “Excited is an understatement,” Hoover wrote of the casting news.
In March, Johnson and Hartnett were pictured filming a scene in New York City:
In May, Johnson shared she had wrapped filming. “We just finished filming,” she told Deadline. “I didn’t know what Verity was before I was sent the script, and it’s based on a Colleen Hoover novel that I guess is quite popular. People are really into it.”
No premiere date has been announced.
Deadline reports Verity could be released in theaters, instead of straight to Prime Video.
