Deadline reports that Amazon MGM's film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's psychological thriller 'Verity', featuring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, has secured a theatrical release date: May 15 next year. Esteemed director Michael Showalter helms the project, with Nick Antosca penning the current script.

Taking inspiration from Hoover's novel, the narrative centers on Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer ensnared in the enigmatic world of celebrated author Verity Crawford when hired as her ghostwriter. Lowen soon unravels daunting autobiographical revelations that endanger her grip on reality and embroil her with Verity's husband, Jeremy.

Produced by industry stalwarts including Jordana Mollick and Stacey Sher, the film rides on the successful coattails of Hoover's prior adaptation, 'It Ends With Us', which boasted global box office revenues exceeding $346 million. Fans of compelling thrillers should anticipate 'Verity' dominating 2024's must-watch lists.
