Production
A film adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel Verity was being developed by Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund and Eat the Cat, and they had hired April Maguire and Will Honley to write the screenplay before November 2020.[1] The project was brought to Amazon MGM Studios in May 2024, and Hilary Seitz was working on the script further.[2] After additional draft work from Angela LaManna, Antosca was finalizing the screenplay himself in November 2024 when Michael Showalter had signed on to direct the film and Anne Hathaway agreed to lead the film as Verity Crawford.[3] The next month, Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson were cast to star opposite Hathaway.[4] In February 2025, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Brady Wagner, Irina Dvorovenko, K. K. Moggie, and Michael Abbott Jr. were cast in undisclosed roles.[5]
Principal photography began in February 2025,[6] with Hathaway and Harnet shooting on location in New York City.[7] Johnson began shooting her scenes by the following month.[8]
