The Colleen Hoover Cinematic Universe Is Expanding
Amazon MGM Studios is adapting Colleen Hoover’s Verity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eat the Cat’s Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing, with a script written by Insomnia’s Hillary Seitz.
Verity centers on Lowen Ashleigh, who agrees to ghost write a novels for the comatose bestselling author Verity Crawford. Lowen falls for Verity’s husband, Jeremy while also discovering a hidden autobiographical manuscript that paints Verity in a very different light than her public persona. It’s kind of Jane Eyre meets that time on Vanderpump Rules when Jax slept with Faith while she was doing in-home hospice care. Hoover self-published the book in 2018, before it was acquired by Grand Central Publishing in 2021. It reached #2 on the New York Times bestsellers list. Hoover’s first page-to-screen adaptation, It Ends With Us, comes to theaters August 9.
