There is no light where Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson are going in the Verity teaser trailer.
Based on Colleen Hoover‘s best-selling 2018 novel, the seductive, psychological thriller hits theaters and premium formats on October 2 via Amazon MGM Studios.
It follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.
After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.
Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Brady Wagner round out the cast.
Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Idea of You) directs from a script by Nick Antosca (“Hannibal,” Antlers).
Producers include Showalter & Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions, Antosca & Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat, Hathaway for Somewhere Pictures, Hoover for Heartbones Entertainment, and Stacey Sher for Shiny Penny. Johnson executive produces with Kerry Orent and Lauren Levine.
Verity is rated R for “sexual content, some nudity, language, violence, and bloody images.”
