Anne Hathaway lands next lead movie role in new Colleen Hoover adaptation

As a long-time fan of Colleen Hoover’s gripping narratives and Anne Hathaway’s captivating performances, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming adaptation of “Verity”. Having grown up on the Crawford estate through Hoover’s pages, and watched Hathaway gracefully navigate her way through some of my favorite films, seeing them come together in this thrilling project feels like a dream.


Anne Hathaway is set to star in an all-new Colleen Hoover movie adaptation.

As reported by Deadline, the Academy Award-winning actress has secured the main part in the forthcoming mystery film titled Verity. This movie is an adaptation from a book with the same name, authored by the writer behind It Ends With Us.

In the upcoming project, Hathaway will be re-teaming with director Michael Showalter, having previously collaborated with him in the recently released Amazon MGM movie titled “The Idea of You“.

The narrative centers around the character named Verity, a hard-up author who grabs an opportunity she can’t refuse – a dream job.

Jeremy Crawford, spouse of popular crime novelist Verity Crawford (Hathaway), brings on board Lowen to pen the rest of the books in Verity’s prosperous franchise series. Regrettably, due to a puzzling mishap, Verity is unable to carry on writing these novels independently.

As Lowen becomes more familiar with the residents and activities at the opulent Crawford estate, she begins to doubt what she’s been informed. Upon finding an incomplete manuscript containing unsettling information about the family’s history, Lowen ponders if there might be more to Verity than they’re letting on.

Currently, Hathaway is the sole actor connected to the project; more information about additional cast members will be revealed later on.

One of Colleen Hoover’s two upcoming movie adaptations, based on her 2019 novel “Regretting You”, is currently in development. The film will star Mckenna Grace, known for her roles in “Ghostbusters” and “The Handmaid’s Tale”, as well as Allison Williams, a talented actor from the series “Girls”.

The two will explore a strained mother-daughter relationship, with Williams playing Grace’s mum.

Both ventures received approval after the acclaim garnered by this year’s “It Ends With Us” film, featuring Blake Lively from “Gossip Girl.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the movie adapted from Hoover’s 2016 novel managed to gross a total of $309 million at the worldwide box office.

There is currently no release date for Verity.
