Ahead of the upcoming theatrical release of It Ends With Us, it’s been revealed that another one of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novels will be getting the movie treatment. Per THR, Amazon MGM Studios is developing an adaptation of Verity, with Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund on board to produce the project.
Verity remains one of the author’s most popular novels, joining Ugly Love, November 9, All Your Perfects, and It Ends With Us. The script for the planned adaptation will be written by Hillary Seitz. Initially a self-published novel, Verity has become a New York Times bestseller after Grand Central Publishing acquired the publishing rights in 2021.
Meanwhile, It Ends With Us will be released in cinemas on August 9. The upcoming romantic drama stars Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, and Amy Morton.
What is Verity about?
Released in 2018, the romantic thriller follows aspiring writer Lowen Ashleigh, who accepts a job offer she initially thought would change her current financial situation. The husband of the bestselling author Verity Crawford hired Lowen to complete Verity’s book series, which she was unable to finish due to a mysterious accident. However, as she walks through the unfinished manuscript, she will soon realize that things in the Crawford estate may not be as they seem.
The book’s synopsis reads as follows: “Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.”
