Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett Start Filming Colleen Hoover’s Verity Amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Legal Battle

by

Actors Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett commenced shooting for the cinematic version of Colleen Hoover’s top-selling book titled Verity, as of February 27th. On this day, they were spotted working on the movie set located in Queens, New York.

Hathaway donned a floor-length white gown featuring a keyhole neckline and long sleeves, adorned with sunglasses and clutching a book. In contrast, Hartnett opted for denim pants and a sweater, sipping from a coffee cup as reported by IMDb.

As a die-hard fanatic, I can’t help but share my excitement about diving headfirst into this gripping project! You see, the remarkable Emily Blunt stepped into the shoes of Verity Crawford – a thriving thriller author whose tales have captivated millions. She’s joined by the talented and handsome Jim Sturgess, who brings Jeremy Crawford, her devoted husband, to life on screen. However, it’s none other than the radiant and versatile actress Dakota Johnson who steals the show, portraying Lowen Ashleigh – a struggling writer given the opportunity of a lifetime: completing Verity’s much-anticipated book series following an unfortunate accident that left her incapable of continuing. What makes this even more enthralling is the fact that Dakota also donned the producer’s hat for the film, ensuring its success from start to finish!

I can hardly contain my excitement as Michael Showalter takes the helm for this gripping psychological thriller! It’s all about the chilling revelations that our protagonist, Lowen, stumbles upon at the Crawford residence. As she unearths a concealed manuscript, I find myself questioning along with her: is Verity’s work mere fiction or does it expose the grim realities lurking in the family’s past?

Verity’s release is happening concurrently with legal conflicts surrounding Hoover’s earlier film adaptation, It Ends With Us. This movie, released a year ago, has sparked lawsuits between director Justin Baldoni and actress Blake Lively, each alleging inappropriate conduct on set. The court case is set for March 9, 2026.

Moreover, actress Jenny Slate has lodged a grievance over accommodations provided during the making of It Ends With Us, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal issues.

Even though there have been debates about past versions, anticipation for Verity remains strong among fans of Hoover’s writing. They are eager to witness how the suspenseful and intricate storyline will be brought to life on the big screen. With a skilled cast and an accomplished director, the movie intends to enchant its viewers.
