“There is no light where we’re going”, agree Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in the new teaser trailer for psychological thriller Verity. Based on Colleen Hoover’s 2018 novel, the film comes courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios.

In the erotically-tinged film, Lowen Ashley (Johnson) is a struggling writer in need of work when she is contacted by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett). Jeremy’s wife is bestselling author Verity Crawford (Hathaway, determined to rule the box office in 2026) who, due to a mysterious accident, is unable to finish her successful book series. Jeremy asks Lowen to ghostwrite and complete the series; but, after Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chillling autobiographical manuscript, she begins to wrestle with Verity’s disturbing and twisted confessions and begins to find it hard to separate fiction from reality.

Ismael Cruz Cordova and Brady Wagner round out the cast. Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Idea of You) directs from a script by Nick Antosca (Hannibal, Antlers).

Producers include Showalter and Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions, Antosca and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat, Hathaway for Somewhere Pictures, Hoover for Heartbones Entertainment, and Stacey Sher for Shiny Penny. Johnson executive produces with Kerry Orent and Lauren Levine.

Verity will release in cinemas on October 2nd. Watch the teaser trailer below:
