Everything We Know About Amazon's ‘Verity' Movie So Far

Colleen Hoover's thriller Verity will hit theaters following the feature adaptation of Regretting You. Both films have big shoes to fill after the feature adaptation of It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who directed the film. Verity is another one of Hoover's popular novels, and it has a thriller bent. The cast is stacked as is the team working behind the scenes. More from Deadline Colleen Hoover's 'Verity' At Amazon MGM Studios Gets Early Summer 2026 Release Which Colleen Hoover Books Are Becoming Movies? 'Verity,' 'Reminders Of Him' & 'Regretting You' Will Join 'It Ends With Us' Josh Hartnett To Headline Netflix's Newfoundland Limited Series; Jessica Rhoades Joins As EP For everything we know about Amazon's Verity adaptation, read on. When will the movie come out in theaters? The thriller has locked in the date of May 15, 2026 for its theatrical release. Is the movie in production yet? Yes, photos of Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett in New York City filming what looks to be a key intro scene from the beginning of Hoover's book were captured earlier this month. Who is in the cast of the film? Deadline exclusively broke the news that Anne Hathaway was cast in the triller film as the titular character Verity Crawford. We later first told you that Josh Hartnett will star as Verity's husband Jeremy, and that Dakota Johnson will star as author Lowen Ashleigh. 'I'm basically the bad guy I think,' Johnson said of her character in an interview with Deadline. 'It's so fun.' Johnson also shared that she didn't know what Verity was before she was sent the script. 'She's a really cool person,' the Materialists star said of Colleen Hoover. 'But yeah, it's Josh Hartnett, Anne Hathaway and me. I mean, obviously, everyone knows what it's about from the book, but it's about a ghostwriter or a writer who goes to finish the novels of this very established writer because she had been in an accident. So, she moves into the house with her and her husband and their kid and then all of these really weird twists and turns take place. It's juicy.' Deadline also exclusively reported the casting of Ismael Cruz Cordóva (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Brady Wagner (Broadway's Merrily We Roll Along), Irina Dvorovenko (And Just Like That…), K.K. Moggie (The Good Wife), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Drama). Who else is behind the film adaptation? Michael Showalter is reteaming with Anne Hathaway after they worked together on Prime Video's The Idea of You, adapted from the bestselling book by Robinne Lee. He will direct the feature. RELATED: Nick Antosca wrote the current script. Hillary Seitz, Angela LaManna and Will Honley & April Maguire wrote prior drafts. Antosca will produce alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat, and Showalter will produce alongside Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions. Hathaway produces for Somewhere Pictures, and Hoover produces alongside Shiny Penny and Stacey Sher for Heartbones Entertainment. Lauren Levine will executive produce for Heartbones. What is the movie about? The story centers on Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin who she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling thriller author Verity Crawford (Hathaway), has hired Ashleigh to complete the remaining books in a successful series that his wife is unable to finish after a mysterious accident. Ashleigh's arrival at the lavish Crawford estate slowly reveals that things are not exactly as they seem when she finds an unfinished manuscript that possibly contains chilling revelations about the family's past and Verity's accident. As Lowen ingratiates herself with Jeremy and his young son Crew, she must discern if Verity's writings are just scarily vivid works of fiction or an ominous warning by a deranged psychopath, who, in the books, is comatose upstairs in the master bedroom. Does Colleen Hoover have other books getting adapted into movies? Yes. After It Ends With Us landed in theaters last August, Paramount's film adaptation of Regretting You will land in theaters in October 2025. A more recent novel from Hoover, Reminders of Him, is getting underway with casting and team behind the Universal adaptation.

Paramount Global Ex-CEO Bob Bakish Walks Away With Almost $87M; George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy And Brian Robbins Each Net Between $19.5M And $22.2M In 2024

The three occupants of Paramount Global's Office of the CEO did well for themselves financially in 2024, but the biggest payday went to ex-CEO Bob Bakish. George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins collected $22.2 million, $19.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively, according to an SEC filing by the company on Friday. Bakish took home just shy of $87 million, including about $69 million in severance.) More from Deadline Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, President Mike Cavanagh Annual Pay Dips By 5% FCC, Paramount Start Talks Around Skydance Merger 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 17 Holds Steady In Key Demos, Rakes In Biggest TV Share In Series History The compensation figures come as talks are continuing between Paramount Global and the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing the proposed merger of Paramount and Skydance Media. The FCC has made it plain that it wants Paramount and other media companies to roll back their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Unwinding the DEI programs put in place across corporate America in recent years has been a major priority of President Donald Trump and appointees like FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Trump has also filed a $20 billion lawsuit in Texas against Paramount, citing CBS News and 60 Minutes, but Carr has maintained that the FCC review is separate from that case. Bakish was removed as CEO in April 2024 and the company created the Office of the CEO after clashing with Paramount chair and controlling shareholder Shari Redstone. Cheeks, McCarthy and Robbins have continued to oversee divisions of the company in addition to fulfilling their Co-CEO duties. In the Skydance deal announced last summer, Redstone's privately held National Amusements will be acquired by Skydance, which will then merge with all of Paramount. The companies have said the transaction would close by the first half of 2025, but that timetable has come into question in recent weeks. The framework for Bakish's severance payment had been disclosed, but the final number was determined based on a range of performance-based metrics. In 2023, Bakish's total payday was $31.3 million. Christa D'Alimonte, who departed last June as EVP and General Counsel, collected $8.9 million in 2024, including about $4 million in severance.
