As Lowen settles into the Crawford estate, she uncovers a secret manuscript that reveals unsettling truths about the family's past.

Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett are set to star alongside Anne Hathaway in the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling psychological thriller 'Verity,' produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

In 'Verity,' Johnson will portray Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to complete a book series for Hathaway's character, Verity Crawford, who is incapacitated following a mysterious accident.

Hartnett will take on the role of Jeremy Crawford, Verity's husband, adding depth to the film's exploration of family secrets and personal struggles.

Hartnett's recent career resurgence began with his role in 'Oppenheimer' in 2023, where he played physicist Ernest Lawrence.

The film's production team includes notable figures such as Antosca, Showalter, Hathaway, Hoover, and Stacey Sher, with Johnson serving as an executive producer.

The screenplay is being crafted by Nick Antosca, who follows earlier drafts by various writers, including Colleen Hoover herself.

The novel 'Verity' was originally self-published in 2018, later acquired by Grand Central Publishing in 2021, and has sold over 1 million copies in 2023 alone.

This film marks the second adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel, following the successful release of 'It Ends With Us,' which grossed over $346 million worldwide.

Reflecting on his growth as an actor over the past 26 years, Hartnett aims to take on diverse roles and challenge audience expectations.

Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson has several upcoming projects, including the romantic comedy 'Materialists' and the comedy 'Splitsville,' showcasing her versatility.

Directed by Michael Showalter, 'Verity' is currently in development and promises to deliver a gripping narrative based on Hoover's compelling story.
