More about Verity
Verity will also mark the second collaboration between Showalter and Hathaway, who worked together in The Idea of You. While Nick Antosca is the writer, the earlier drafts were written by April Maguire, Hillary Seitz, Will Honley, and Angela LaManna.
The production banners behind Verity include Shiny Penny Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Eat the Cat, Heartbones Entertainment, Semi-Formal Productions, and Somewhere Pictures. The plot of the film revolves around Lowen Ashleigh who is struggling to make it as a writer. As her monetary situation is shaky, she has to take a job offer to change her life.
She is hired by Jeremy Crawford, whose wife, Verity Crawford, is a successful author. Lowen is tasked to finish some books as a part of a series that Mrs. Crawford hasn't been able to complete due to an accident. As she starts to write, Lowen begins to realize several dark secrets of the author and her nature.
In an interview for their 2024 romantic drama film The Idea of You, Showalter shared his experience of working with Anne Hathaway. He said,
"I'm such a huge fan of hers. I love working with her. She's so talented. When she's on camera, every take is perfect. She's just such a star. So for me, it was incredible to work with her."
He also revealed how the actress gave many inputs for the character she was playing.
"Anne had all kinds of input from her wardrobe to the art - everything in her art gallery. Everything you see of Anne's character she had a say in it, including things that her character says or thinks. So working with Anne in that way was like 100 per cent collaboration between the two of us."
Since the two are working again in this film, fans can expect the same magic to be recreated as in their previous film.
