'Verity' puts Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett in a steamy Colleen Hoover thriller Anne Hathaway stars in “Verity,” a psychological thriller where trust is elusive In “Verity,” it’s hard to know who to trust. There's Anne Hathaway's titular character, a wildly popular novelist who is unable to speak or move after a car accident, but whose secret, and disturbing, autobiography speaks volumes. There's Dakota Johnson's struggling author, Lowen, who has been hired to finish Verity's remaining novels and who finds herself living in Verity's home and fantasizing about her more successful counterpart's life, and husband.

And then there's Josh Hartnett, as said husband, who is caring and responsible but perhaps a bit quick to suggest that Lowen borrow one of Verity's dresses for their night out on the town. The actors couldn't help get the giggles on set It is all quite heightened in the way that one might hope for in a sexy, psychological thriller, which opens in theaters Friday.
