Verity: Movie Overview
Verity is an upcoming American psychological thriller directed by Michael Showalter and based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover. The screenplay is written by Nick Antosca, with Hoover and Will Honley also credited as writers. The film stars Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett in the leading roles.
The story follows Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who is hired by Jeremy Crawford to finish the bestselling book series of his wife, Verity Crawford. Verity is unable to continue writing after a mysterious accident, leaving Lowen with the difficult task of completing her unfinished work.
Lowen moves into the Crawford family home to research Verity’s writing and begins discovering disturbing material connected to the bestselling author’s life. Among her discoveries is an unsettling autobiographical manuscript that reveals deeply troubling secrets and forces Lowen to question Verity’s mental state, Jeremy’s version of events, and the reality surrounding the family.
As Lowen becomes increasingly involved with the Crawford family, the boundaries between truth and fiction begin to disappear. The film explores themes of obsession, manipulation, deception, attraction, grief, ambition, and the psychological consequences of uncovering secrets that were never meant to be discovered.
The film has a reported runtime of 114 minutes and is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on October 2, 2026. Amazon MGM Studios is distributing the film in the United States and Canada, while Sony Pictures Releasing is handling international distribution.
