Instagram post announcing the movie’s cast. “Verity” is a romantic thriller about struggling writer Ashleigh (Johnson), who is given an opportunity to finish famous author Verity Crawford’s (Hathaway) book series while Verity is paralyzed, and moves in with Verity and her husband, Jeremy (Hartnett).During the process, Lowen stumbles on Verity’s unfinished autobiography that’s filled with shocking revelations indicating that Verity isn’t as nice as everyone thinks – and might be a murderer.

Lowen and Jeremy are also attracted to each other, despite the fact that he’s married. Michael Showalter, who directed Hathaway’s last popular romcom “The Idea of You,” is directing.

In February, Hartnett and Hathaway were also spotted on set holding hands and running down a sidewalk, smiling and dressed in formal clothes.

This role continues a renaissance for Hartnett, who rose to fame in the ’90s and early 2000s with roles like 2001’s “Pearl Harbor” and 1999’s “The Virgin Suicides” before he moved away from Hollywood with his English wife, Tamsin Egerton, 36, and took on lower profile projects.He’s returned to bigger roles recently in the Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” and the 2024 film “Trap.” In an August 2024 interview in Interview Magazine, Hartnett said that his choice to step back from the spotlight was about “just plain sanity.” “In the late ’90s and early 2000s…if you were named as one of these interesting people in celebrity culture, it was then the press’ mission to tear you apart,” he said.“On top of that, I felt like the celebrity culture was really vacuous.
