I feel like I'm losing my mind.
CraigHOST
Based on Colleen Hoover's hit novel, Verity begins when struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, is hired by Jeremy Crawford, played by Josh Hartnett.
CraigHOST
He is the husband of popular mystery author Verity Crawford, played by Oscar winner Anne Hathaway, and he wants Lowen to finish the remaining titles of Verity's popular book series.
CraigHOST
Verity has been left catatonic and mute following a mysterious car accident that occurred shortly after the tragic death of their daughter.
ChristyHOST
It's based on a Colleen Hoover novel of the same name.
ChristyHOST
It follows Lowen Ashleigh, and that's Dakota Johnson's character.
ChristyHOST
She's a struggling writer in New York who gets an opportunity she can't afford to turn down.
ChristyHOST
She's hired by Jeremy Crawford, who's played by Josh Hartnett, and he wants her to finish the best-selling book series that was written by his wife, Verity Crawford, and that's the person who's played by Anne Hathaway.
ChristyHOST
So the catch is that Verity's been left almost completely paralyzed.
ChristyHOST
She's not able to communicate after she had this horrific car crash.
ChristyHOST
So Lowen moves into the Crawford family's remote, um, estate I guess you could call it, to go through Verity's notes and to try to finish her books.
DanielleHOST
When I first saw the word Verity on Colleen Hoover's, like, uh, cover of her book, I was thinking to myself, "Is this a word or someone's name?" 'Cause it's really weird.
ClaireHOST
Yeah.
ClaireHOST
Um, and she- It starts with, uh, Dakota Johnson, who's playing a, an, a lesser-known author named Lowen Ashleigh-
MollyHOST
Uh-huh
ClaireHOST
... um-
TezHOST
Anna Hathaway, or Anne Hathaway, and Dakota Johnson star.
TezHOST
Verity follows renowned author Verity Crawford and Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.
TezHOST
After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity's chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity's husband and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.
TezHOST
Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Bradley Wagner round out the cast.
Justin HensonHOST
But the problem we have is that it doesn't earn the street cred of entertainment to make us want to.
Justin HensonHOST
Dakota Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, who is hired again to finish a book started by popular author Verity Crawford, played by Anne Hathaway, who suffered a car accident and is completely paralyzed and can't even talk.
Justin HensonHOST
So Lowen has to study her notes and style to finish the book that she started.
Justin HensonHOST
So Lowen moves into the home with Verity's husband, Jeremy, played by Josh Hartnett, and their son, Cru, played by Brady Wagner.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
What a transition into Verity.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
So Verity, uh, stars Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford, the writer of a famous thriller book series whose husband, played by Josh Hartnett, enlists a younger writer, Lowen Ashleigh, uh, one of the many amazing names in this, in this book and movie, played by Dakota Johnson, to help Verity finish the popular series after a car accident leaves her unable to write.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
Sophie, before we dive into a little bit of the history of this book and movie, what'd you think of Verity? Your first Colleen Hoover experience.
Sophie VershbowHOST
[laughs]
10 MINS LATER
Sophie VershbowHOST
Yeah.

Um, [laughs] but here is the synopsis of the movie Verity in my words.
Monika ScottHOST
Um, struggling novelist Lowen Ashleigh is approached to ghostwrite the final two books in a popular series by thriller sensation Verity Crawford.
Monika ScottHOST
Believing she's just going to Verity's, going through Verity's notes, she agrees to stay at the author's home during the outlining process with Verity and her husband and son.

Emily FayeHOST
And then a man comes up and he's like, "Hey, are you okay? I'll help you wash it off." And so then they go into a coffee shop bathroom, he helps her wash it off, they have a moment, and then they separate, and then they go, and then she goes into her meeting, he's in the meeting.
