Verity Teaser

The upcoming film promises a spine-chilling cinematic experience this October. The recently released teaser trailer has amped up the anticipation for the psychological thriller. The teaser trailer offers a haunting glimpse into its dark and twisted world.

Adapted from Colleen Hoover`s best-selling novel, this seductive, psychological thriller follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota 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 Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.

Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing International, Verity is slated to release in India on October 2, 2026, in cinemas only.
