Colleen Hoover's 'Verity' Film Starring Hathaway, Johnson Set for May 2026 Release

Amazon MGM's film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's psychological thriller 'Verity' is set for a theatrical release on May 15, 2026. Directed by Michael Showalter, the film stars Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, focusing on struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, who is hired as a ghostwriter for the enigmatic author Verity Crawford. The narrative takes a dark turn as Lowen uncovers chilling autobiographical notes that blur the lines between reality and fiction, particularly involving Verity's husband, Jeremy. The script has undergone various adaptations, with the latest written by Nick Antosca. 'Verity' follows the success of Hoover's previous adaptation 'It Ends With Us', which grossed over $346 million worldwide. The film is positioned as counterprogramming against major blockbusters set to release in the same month.
