Amazon MGM Studios is adapting Colleen Hoover’s Verity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eat the Cat’s Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing, with a script written by Insomnia’s Hillary Seitz.
Verity centers on Lowen Ashleigh, who agrees to ghost write a novels for the comatose bestselling author Verity Crawford. Lowen falls for Verity’s husband, Jeremy while also discovering a hidden autobiographical manuscript that paints Verity in a very different light than her public persona. It’s kind of Jane Eyre meets that time on Vanderpump Rules when Jax slept with Faith while she was doing in-home hospice care. Hoover self-published the book in 2018, before it was acquired by Grand Central Publishing in 2021. It reached #2 on the New York Times bestsellers list. Hoover’s first page-to-screen adaptation, It Ends With Us, comes to theaters August 9.
