Video/Photos: First Look at Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in VERITY

We have our first look at Verity, the forthcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel with Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett. The movie arrives in theaters on October 2, 2026.

Verity is a seductive, psychological thriller that follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.

After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity's chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband, Jeremy (Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.

The teaser trailer for the highly anticipated film dropped on Monday, previewing intimate (and terrifying) moments between the three main characters as their worlds blur between reality and illusion. Verity marks the fifth in a series of major projects for Hathaway this year, which also includes Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and The Odyssey.

The cast also includes Ismael Cruz Cordova and Brady Wagner. Michael Showalter directs the Amazon MGM film from a screenplay by Nick Antosca. Producers include Antosca, Hathaway and Cooper, alongside Alex Hedlund, Stacey Sher, Michael Showalter, and Jordana Mollick. Executive Producers are Johnson, Kerry Orent, and Lauren Levine.
