Actors Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett are set to star alongside Hollywood star Anne Hathaway in "Verity", an upcoming film from Amazon MGM Studios.
The film is an adaptation of a book by the same name from author Colleen Hoover, whose earlier novel "It Ends with Us" was recently turned into a movie, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Verity" will be directed by Michael Showalter, who also helmed Hathaway's recent movie "The Idea of You". He is also known for projects like "The Eyes of Tammy Faye", "The Big Sick" and "The Lovebirds".
Nick Antosca penned the script for the movie which will follow struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Hathaway), who gets hired by Jeremy Crawford to complete the unfinished book series that was being written by his wife Verity Crawford, until her mysterious accident.
However, Ashleigh soon realises that the unfinished series might reveal secrets about the family's past.
Johnson will essay the role of Ashleigh, while Hartnett will portray Jeremy.
Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing the movie for Eat the Cat alongside Showalter and Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions, Hathaway for Somewhere Pictures, Hoover for Heartbones Entertainment and Stacey Sher for Shiny Penny.
Johnson was most recently seen in Sony's "Madame Web", co-starring Sydney Sweeney and Isabela Merced.
Hartnett's latest film was "Trap" by M. Night Shyamalan. The film was released in August.
