What is Anne Hathaway’s Verity movie about?
Verity is a psychological erotic thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s 2018 novel of the same name. The movie is directed by Michael Showalter with a screenplay by Nick Antosca.
The official logline of the movie reads, “Struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh is hired as a ghostwriter for renowned author Verity Crawford under mysterious circumstances, but her assignment takes a dark turn after discovering chilling autobiographical notes. Faced with a series of deadly family secrets, Lowen struggles to separate fiction from reality, while also blurring the lines with Verity’s husband, Jeremy.”
Verity stars Anne Hathaway as the titular elusive author, with Dakota Johnson as Lowen and Josh Hartnett as Jeremy. Other cast members include Ismael Cruz Córdova, Brady Wagner, Irina Dvorovenko, K. K. Moggie, and Michael Abbott Jr. Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper makes a guest appearance as herself.
The movie had its world premiere at the Curzon Mayfair Cinema in London on September 24. It will also be screened in the Gala section of the 39th Tokyo International Film Festival in late October 2026.
Verity isn’t the first Colleen Hoover novel to get adapted for the big screen. Earlier this year, Reminders of Him, starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers, was released. The movie is based on Hoover’s 2022 novel, with the author also co-writing the screenplay.
Other major Colleen Hoover adaptations include the 2025 movie Regretting You and the highly controversial 2024 film It Ends with Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
