Another Colleen Hoover novel is coming to the big screen. Hoover’s bestselling thriller “Verity” is currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios.
“Verity” follows Hoover’s first film adaptation, “It Ends With Us,” which starred Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and came out in August.
Read on to learn more about “Verity’s” book-to-screen journey.
When is ‘Verity’ coming out?
No release date has been announced, though Variety reported in November that it would be released in theaters.
What is ‘Verity’ about?
“Verity” is a thriller with literary themes.
Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer, thinks she’s come across the opportunity of a lifetime when she gets hired by best-selling author Verity Crawford’s husband.
Verity is in a coma. Lowen’s job? Finish Verity’s books.
Living with Verity’s family, Lowen discovers an unfinished manuscript Verity had written and learns things may not be as they first appeared.
The manuscript seems to share details about Verity’s not-so-perfect life behind the scenes, including details about the recent deaths of her young twin daughters.
But since it’s hard to tell fact from fiction, Lowen decides to figure out whether the manuscript is true or not.
Notably, Verity’s name means “truth” in Latin, and the book is all about the search for just that. Fans are still digesting, and debating, the book’s ending.
Who is starring in the film? Anne Hathaway will star as Verity in the upcoming film adaption, according to Variety.
The outlet also reports that Michael Showalter will be directing the film and Hathaway will also act as a producer in the movie alongside Hoover.
Showalter also directed “The Idea of You,” which Hathaway starred in.
