Overview
- Amazon MGM published the full official trailer Tuesday, providing the first full look at the film’s plot, cast and tone.
- The story follows struggling writer Lowen, who is hired to ghostwrite for bestselling author Verity and then discovers a disturbing manuscript that blurs fiction and reality.
- Anne Hathaway plays Verity, Dakota Johnson plays Lowen and Josh Hartnett plays Jeremy, with Michael Showalter directing from a screenplay by Nick Antosca and Hathaway and Colleen Hoover among the producers.
- Coverage and the trailer emphasize an explicit, R-rated, Hitchcockian tone that gives Verity a visible, speaking presence not present in much of the novel’s original first-person narration.
- The film is set for an exclusive theatrical release on October 2, 2026, and joins a string of recent Colleen Hoover adaptations whose strong box-office returns have raised commercial expectations for this darker entry.
