Anne Hathaway will star in Verity, based on the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover. Deadline reported that Verity "was self-published in 2018 and grew into a phenomenon that was acquired by Grand Central Publishing in 2021. It has spent months on the bestsellers list, selling more than one million copies in 2023 alone."
Hathaway will team up with Michael Showalter for the project, which will be released in theaters. They previously worked together on The Idea of You, adapted from Robinne Lee's novel. The current script is written by Nick Antosca. Prior drafts came from Hillary Seitz, Angela LaManna, and Will Honley & April Maguire.
Producers for the project include Eat the Cat's Antosca and Alex Hedlund, Semi-Formal Productions' Showalter and Jordana Mollick, Somewhere Pictures' Hathaway, Heartbones Entertainment's Hoover, and Shiny Penny Stacey Sher. Heartbones' Lauren Levine will executive produce.
