- Anne Hathaway and Michael Showalter team up again.
- A writer takes over a mysterious job.
- The visual vibe is moody and shadows-heavy.
We just got a tiny peek at the Verity movie. It happened at CinemaCon. Honestly? We are already hooked. It looks like a beautiful, scary dream.
Anne Hathaway is the star. She is working with director Michael Showalter again. They just did The Idea of You together. But this is not a sweet romance. Far from it.
The story is about a writer named Lowen Ashleigh. She gets hired to finish books for a famous author who can’t write anymore. The aesthetic of the film is very specific. We saw lots of deep blues and dark wood. It feels heavy and rich.
The vibe reminds us of the tension in ‘The Fear Of 13’ on Broadway. Both stories deal with secrets that stay hidden for too long. It’s the kind of movie that makes you want to turn all the lights on at home.
We wonder what the vibe was like on this set. Some directors stay super relaxed even during intense scenes. We recently heard how Aditya Dhar keeps things calm when stars get stressed. We hope Michael Showalter had that same energy for this thriller!
Amazon MGM Studios clearly has a hit on its hands. Big movies are making a killing lately. Just look at the Dhurandhar 2 box office numbers. People love a good story that keeps them guessing.
Our Take
We think this is going to be huge. Colleen Hoover fans are very loyal. Adding Anne Hathaway to the mix is a smart move. She can do ‘creepy’ really well. The dark, moody colors they chose make the whole thing feel like a piece of art. We are counting down the days for a real trailer!
