Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett Film Intense Scenes for Colleen Hoover Adaptation 'Verity'

The upcoming romantic thriller, directed by Michael Showalter, features a star-studded cast including Anne Hathaway and is set for release in 2026.

Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett were photographed in New York City filming a dramatic scene involving fake blood for the movie 'Verity.'
The film is based on Colleen Hoover's best-selling 2018 novel and follows writer Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson) as she uncovers dark secrets while ghostwriting for an incapacitated author, Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway).
Hartnett plays Jeremy Crawford, Verity's husband, who hires Lowen for the project, sparking complex dynamics between the characters.
Michael Showalter, known for his work on 'The Idea of You,' is directing the Amazon MGM Studios production, with Hathaway also serving as a producer.
This marks the second adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel, following the success of 'It Ends With Us,' which faced off-screen controversies but performed well at the box office.
