The film centers on Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to complete a series for the injured author Verity Crawford, who uncovers dark secrets about the Crawford family.

The screenplay for the adaptation is penned by Nick Antosca, building on earlier drafts by several writers, including Hillary Seitz and Angela LaManna.

While the specific release date for 'Verity' has not yet been announced, anticipation is building as production moves forward.

Hathaway is also involved in several upcoming projects, including a sequel to 'The Princess Diaries' and 'Mother’s Instinct' with Jessica Chastain.

Critics of previous adaptations have raised concerns about how Hoover's works portray sensitive themes, particularly regarding domestic violence.

Hathaway's recent success in the adaptation of Hoover's 'It Ends With Us', which grossed $349 million, has heightened interest in her new project.

Colleen Hoover's bestselling thriller 'Verity' is being adapted into a feature film by Amazon MGM Studios, with Anne Hathaway set to star and Michael Showalter directing.

As Lowen delves into her work, she discovers unsettling truths and an unfinished manuscript that reveals troubling revelations about Verity and her past.

Michael Showalter, known for his work on 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' and 'The Big Sick', previously collaborated with Hathaway on the romantic comedy 'The Idea Of You'.

Reactions to Hathaway's casting have been mixed on social media, with some fans excited about her involvement, while others express concerns over potential changes to the story.

Originally self-published in 2018, 'Verity' became a bestseller after being acquired by Grand Central Publishing in 2021, selling over one million copies in 2023 alone.

The film will be produced by a team including Hathaway, Hoover, and Showalter, along with several other producers from various production companies.
