Anne Hathaway is gearing up for another exciting adaptation, this time taking on a thrilling project based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, Verity. The Oscar-winning actress is set to star in the film version of the psychological thriller, with The Idea of You director Michael Showalter confirmed to helm the project, according to People.
In Verity, Hathaway will portray Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who is in desperate need of money. She accepts what she believes is a once-in-a-lifetime job offer that could change her life. The plot follows Lowen as she is hired by Jeremy Crawford, the husband of bestselling thriller author Verity Crawford, to complete the remaining books in a successful series that his wife is unable to finish due to a mysterious accident.
The synopsis of Verity reveals the dark twists that unfold when Lowen arrives at the lavish Crawford estate. As she settles in, she begins to uncover unsettling secrets. Among her discoveries is a secret, unfinished manuscript that could expose disturbing details about the Crawford family’s past. As she gets closer to Jeremy and his young son Crew, Lowen is faced with the challenge of determining whether Verity’s writings are simply disturbing works of fiction or a chilling warning from a deranged mind.
This new role follows Hathaway’s recent work in The Idea of You, which was also an adaptation of Robinne Lee’s romantic novel. With Verity, she is now diving into a different genre, showcasing her versatility as an actress. The novel, which was originally published in 2008, has captivated readers with its dark and suspenseful plot, and Hathaway’s involvement in the adaptation has already generated excitement among fans of both her work and Hoover’s writing.
In her role as Lowen, Hathaway will bring to life a character who must navigate a complex web of mystery and psychological tension. Fans of both the actress and the bestselling novel are eagerly anticipating this thriller, as it promises to be another hit in Hathaway’s already impressive portfolio of roles. With Showalter at the helm, Verity is set to be a gripping and intense cinematic experience.
