Following the anticipated release of ‘It Ends With Us’, Colleen Hoover’s thriller ‘Verity’ is next in line for adaptation, with Hollywood’s top talents attached to the project

Colleen Hoover’s gripping novel ‘Verity’ is poised to make its cinematic debut, as Amazon MGM Studios announces plans to adapt the standalone thriller into a movie. This news arrives just months before the premiere of another Hoover adaptation, ‘It Ends With Us’, starring Blake Lively, signalling a growing interest in Hoover’s works in the film industry.

Screenwriter Hillary Seitz, known for her work on thrillers like ‘Insomnia’ and ‘Eagle Eye’, has been tasked with bringing the chilling narrative of ‘Verity’ to life.

‘Verity’ introduces us to Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who takes a job completing the remaining books of bestselling author Verity Crawford, who has been incapacitated by a mysterious accident. Lowen’s discovery of Verity’s unnerving memoir, which details dark secrets and true events about her family, blurs the lines between reality and fiction, pulling her into a complex relationship with Verity’s husband.

Hoover shared her enthusiasm for the adaptation via her Instagram story, highlighting her cautious optimism given the unpredictable nature of film productions. Despite previous rights sales that did not materialize into films, Hoover is hopeful about ‘Verity’s’ journey to the screen.

The casting and directorial leads for ‘Verity’ remain under wraps, with further announcements highly anticipated as the project progresses. This adaptation marks another significant milestone for Hoover, whose literary works have consistently drawn both reader and critical acclaim, particularly in the realm of contemporary romance and psychological thrillers.

As ‘It Ends With Us’ prepares to capture audiences with its poignant narrative, ‘Verity’ is set to explore the darker, more thrilling aspects of Hoover’s storytelling prowess. Fans of the author and thriller enthusiasts alike are eager to see how ‘Verity’ will translate into a film that promises to be as enthralling and complex as its literary counterpart
