Dakota Johnson Filming Bloody Scene for 'Verity' in NYC

Dakota Johnson was seen covered in fake blood while filming the opening scene of her upcoming movie, 'Verity,' in New York City on March 12. The scene, which drew a crowd of onlookers, depicts a dramatic crash and is based on Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel of the same name. In the film, Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who becomes involved with Jeremy, played by Josh Hartnett, whose wife Verity, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, is incapacitated. The adaptation is the second for Hoover's work, following the success of 'It Ends With Us,' which grossed over $346 million. Filming began recently, and while no release date has been set, 'Verity' is expected to hit theaters in 2026. Both Johnson and Hathaway are involved in production alongside director Michael Showalter.
