Colleen Hoover’s thriller Verity will hit theaters following the feature adaptation of Regretting You. Both films have big shoes to fill after the feature adaptation of It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who directed the film.

Verity is another one of Hoover’s popular novels, and it has a thriller bent. The cast is stacked as is the team working behind the scenes.

For everything we know about Amazon’s Verity adaptation, read on.

When will the Verity movie come out in theaters?

The thriller had first locked in the date of May 15, 2026 for its theatrical release, but Deadline exclusively reported that it will now launch in theaters later next year, on October 2.

Is the Verity movie in production yet?

Back in November, it was announced that Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) had signed on to play the title character in an adaptation of It Ends with Us author Colleen Hoover’s thriller novel Verity. Soon after, we heard that Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey), Josh Hartnett (Trap), Ismael Cruz Cordóva (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Brady Wagner (Broadway’s Merrily We Roll Along), Irina Dvorovenko (And Just Like That…), K.K. Moggie (The Good Wife), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Drama) had joined her in the cast. For a while, the movie was aiming for a May 15, 2026 release – but now, Deadline reports that it has moved back out of “summer blockbuster” territory and will instead be getting a Halloween season release. Verity is now set to reach theatres on October 2, 2026.

It Ends With Us might've been filled with controversy, but the adaptation was extremely successful at the box office. After its success, several more studios rushed to buy the rights to Colleen Hoover's other books.

One of the many adaptations in the works is Verity. The feature comes from Amazon MGM Studios and features a star-studded cast led by Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett. The film has wrapped up filming, and Deadlinereports Verity will head to theaters on Oct. 2, 2026.

The first weekend of October has been very successful for other adaptations, including 2014's Gone Girl and 2016's The Girl on the Train. For now, the other big title that's set to premiere on Oct. 2, 2026, is Warner Bros’ untitled Tom Cruise movie by Alejandro G. Iňárritu. Verity was originally supposed to premiere in theaters on May 15, 2026, but it has been postponed. Amazon MGM Studios showed a trailer to Verity in April at CinemaCon,...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for this week’s episode of “The Last of Us,” which is available now to stream on Max.

There’s not a Clicker in sight as HBO’s “The Last of Us“ jumps ahead multiple weeks after the catastrophic events from last week. Jackson barely survived its harrowing onslaught and sustained significant losses. Then, of course, there was the major character death of Joel (Pedro Pascal) at the hands of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), and the pummeling that Ellie (Bella Ramsey) took as she was forced to bear witness to Abby’s vengeance. Fittingly, Season 2, Episode 3’s title, “The Path,“ sets Ellie down an irrevocable one in the wake of these events.

The Last of Us, both the game and its series adaptation, centers around the deconstruction of the hero concept. That’s reinforced over and over in “The Path,“ which begins with Tommy (Gabriel Luna...

Updated with the latest: Colleen Hoover’s popular thriller Verity has wrapped production for the feature film adaptation with Amazon MGM Studios starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett.

Two more of Hoover’s books, Regretting You, and Reminders of Him have been picked up for film adaptations as well, each growing its cast ahead of production. Tyriq Withers has also joined Universal’s Reminders of Him to costar with Maika Monroe.

It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni was just the beginning of the author’s extension into film and television. With the film adaptation of the best-selling book out now in theaters, the author has other works in production, one recently announced and one a little farther along.

To learn where these projects...

Colleen Hoover has long been bringing readers exciting stories about tantalizing relationships and intriguing personalities. Over the years, production companies have seen promise in adapting the author’s work for both the small and big screen alike. Following the recent adaptation of the much-talked-about It Ends with Us, the novelist’s latest feature is already on the way with Michael Showalter’s Verity. Tonight, during Amazon MGM’s presentation on the third day of CinemaCon, audiences got a first look at the star-studded production filled with plenty of twists and turns. Here’s what we saw.

Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett are making eyes at each other in the teaser for Verity. Their characters, Verity (Hathaway) and Jeremy (Harnett), meet one night at a club and immediately fall in love. Verity, an author, falls under a mysterious sickness and becomes bedridden. We see Jeremy invite another writer, Lowen (Johnson), to come finish the book series.

One of the unexpected pleasures of this year’s vast SXSW slate of movies is Bunny, a kind of zany comic throwback to extreme indie New York City-centric movies that find a manic energy and rhythm that lets them exist on their own breathless cloud, with a cast of wacky characters moving in and out of frame in action that takes place almost entirely in an East Village tenement, or outside just in front of it.

In some ways Bunny is an oddball cross of Weekend at Bernie’s, Abbott & Costello, Cheech & Chong and a new-age Marx Brothers movie, plus films of the Safdie brothers (particularly Uncut Gems) all the way back to Hal Ashby’s wonderful directorial debut with 1970’s The Landlord, another NYC tenement movie I kept thinking about watching this stew. Throw them all into a blender and you might have something resembling what first-time director...

Once upon a time, mostly in the 1980s and 90s, the downtown Manhattan indie movie was a thing. Films like Jim Jarmusch’s Permanent Vacation, Edo Bertoglio’s Downtown 81, Larry Clark’s Kids and, later on, early Safdie brothers efforts like The Pleasure of Being Robbed were gritty off-the-cuff street features made on tiny budgets, shouldered by directors looking to capture the weird and wild world below 14th Street.

But living in that part of the city soon became expensive, and more expensive, and even more expensive — to the point that many writers, artists and filmmakers were priced out of their neighborhoods. Shooting in Manhattan also became exorbitantly costly, leaving room for only well-funded TV shows like Law & Order, Billions or Succession. Even the latest NYC-set Safdie joint (directed by Josh Safdie in his first solo effort) is an epic period piece, starring Timothée Chalamet, with a budget estimated between $50-$70 million.

Despite the ongoing legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us, the film was a very successful adaptation. With no chance of a sequel in the future, author Colleen Hoover is focusing on other adaptations.

In a new post on her Facebook group, Colleen Hoover's CoHorts, the author shared light on the upcoming adaptations. She has three films in development, including Verity, Reminders of Him, and Regretting You. The post comes just one day after Deadline confirmed the full cast of the upcoming Verity adaptation.

Back in November, it was announced that Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) had signed on to play the title character in an adaptation of It Ends with Us author Colleen Hoover’s thriller novel Verity. Soon after, we heard that Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Josh Hartnett (Trap) had joined her in the cast. Now, Deadline reports that five more actors have signed on to be in the film: Ismael Cruz Cordóva (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, pictured above), Brady Wagner (Broadway’s Merrily We Roll Along), Irina Dvorovenko (And Just Like That…), K.K. Moggie (The Good Wife), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Drama). Details on the characters these new additions will be playing have not been revealed.

Hathaway’s character is Verity Crawford, a famous author who is unable to finish her latest thriller novel after a car accident leaves her badly injured and incapacitated.

It's been less than two weeks since The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power was renewed for Season 3, and now one of the show's biggest stars has officially found his next project. A new report from Deadline revealed that Ismael Cruz Cordóva, best known for portraying Arondir in the first two seasons of Prime Video's Rings of Power series, has been set for a role inVerity, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel of the same name. Cordóva isn't the only one to join the cast; he's also flanked by Brady Wagner (Merrily We Roll Along), Irina Dvorovenko (The Blacklist), K.K. Moggie (Gotham Knights), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Drama). The script for Verity comes from Nick Antosca and Hilary Seitz, and Michael Showalter has been tapped to direct.

Exclusive: Amazon MGM Studios’ Verity, based on the #1 New York Times bestseller by Colleen Hoover, has five new cast additions: Ismael Cruz Cordóva (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Brady Wagner (Broadway’s Merrily We Roll Along), Irina Dvorovenko (And Just Like That…), K.K. Moggie (The Good Wife), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Drama).

No word yet on the roles to be played by the newcomers. As previously announced, Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett will lead the ensemble of the theatrical feature, with Michael Showalter directing from a script by Nick Antosca. The film is one of a number of Hoover adaptations in the works on the heels of It Ends with Us, which proved a phenomenon upon its August 2024 release, with over $346M in worldwide box office receipts.

Exclusive: Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), Michael Abbott Jr. (Fallout) and Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) have wrapped on Appofeniacs, an indie horror film from writer-director Chris Marrs Piliero.

Appofeniacs is a riff on the term “apophenia” which is the tendency to find connections or patterns in things that are unrelated or random — common examples being confirmation bias and paranoia. This marks the feature debut for Piliero, who is known for his music video work with Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Kesha, and The Black Keys (for which he won an MTV VMA).

Piliero independently financed and produced the film, which also stars Will Brandt, Paige Searcy, Simran Jehani, Harley Bronwyn, and Sean Wing. Gunn exec produced the pic, with Salvatore Schiavone and Jonathan Voluck handling casting.

Previously seen in Universal’s horror comedy Cocaine Bear, Holliday has also been seen on HBO’s Euphoria and Sharp Objects.

‘Tis the season to draw viewing inspiration from all things Halloween, and haunted houses are one of the key staples of the holiday. And for good reason, too, as few things are as inherently terrifying as an invasion of the very place where you’re meant to feel safest: your home.

Dealing with a paranormal presence isn’t quite as easy to deal with as masked maniacs or a more tangible threat. It’s often a fear of the unknown that induces the most nerve-fraying anxiety, and a haunted house is full of unknowns. This week’s streaming picks are dedicated to one of horror’s most foundational subgenres: the haunted house movie.

These five titles range from classic haunted house fare to modern frights that reinterpret what a haunted house can be. All aim to induce maximum frights, perfect for this Halloween season.

Here’s where you can stream them this week.

The Dust Bowl may be home to more than just natural dangers in Hold Your Breath. The movie hails from writer/co-director Karrie Crouse and co-director Will Joines, a frequently collaborative creative duo who have worked together on a number of shorts and music videos over the years. Beyond their direct pairing, Crouse also found success with her work on HBO's Westworld, having been a staff writer for season 3 of the sci-fi thriller and writing its fifth episode, "Genre", and previously made her feature debut in the writer's chair with Pilgrim Song, starring alongside The Dark and the Wicked's Michael Abbott Jr.

With Hold Your Breath, Crouse and Joines not only make their feature directorial debuts, but also take audiences back to Oklahoma in the 1930s, where the state was subject to a series of severe dust storms that would later become known as The Dust Bowl. They narrow the story's focus to Margaret Bellum,...

Bertino's 2020 hit, The Dark and the Wicked, is a must-see psychological horror film with a twisty ending exclusively on Shudder. The Dark and the Wicked, though underrated, outshines even The Strangers, offering a disturbing atmosphere and unsettling folk horror experience. Bertino's return to form with The Dark and the Wicked showcases his strength in creating a deeply effective and downright scary horror film.

Best known for writing and directing the 2008 sleeper hit The Strangers, filmmaker Bryan Bertino also made one of the best horror movies of the 2020s and hardly anyone saw it. With the release of the poorly received The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first installment of an intended relaunch of the cult classic franchise, horror fans are likely looking for a more compelling watch.

Intense tension in the film builds steadily towards an unexpected climax. The film's ensemble cast shines, with storytelling that crafts a tense and engaging narrative in a single setting. Despite minor flaws, The Last Stop in Yuma County remains captivating, with an impressive debut effort.

Francis Galluppi's debut film, The Last Stop in Yuma County, is a gripping indie crime thriller that immediately grabs your attention and steadily intensifies throughout. While it slightly runs out of gas towards the end, it remains an enjoyable ride worth revisiting. The story follows a young knife salesman, played by Jim Cummings (The Beta Test), who finds himself stranded at a remote gas station while on his way to celebrate his daughter's birthday. As he waits for the fuel delivery in the adjoining diner, he befriends the waitress, Charlotte, portrayed by Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil).

Jocelin Donahue and director Francis Galluppi worked closely to develop Charlotte's backstory, adding layers to her character's resilience and resourcefulness. Donahue was thrilled to reunite with Richard Brake on set, praising her scene partner's abilities and work ethic. Donahue pulled from her family history for Charlotte's costume, enhancing her character's essence for the film's unique setting.

Jocelin Donahue isn't the helpless hostage two gunmen think in crime thriller The Last Stop in Yuma County. Donahue has been a major player in the indie movie scene over the past 15 years since landing her first leading role in Ti West's acclaimed horror movie The House of the Devil, going on to star in the likes of Knight of Cups, Dead Awake, Holidays and I Trapped the Devil. Donahue has also lent her talents to more mainstream fare,...

The Last Stop in Yuma County has arrived!

A Western crime thriller with a a cup of Coen, a slice of Tarantino, and a side of Peckinpah/Lumet, the debut feature film of writer-director Francis Galluppi is as sharp as it is stunning. Starring Jim Cummings and a murderers row of talent, Yuma County is one this year’s best films and signals the arrival of a new voice.

To celebrate, Halloweenies executive producer and co-host Michael Roffman sits down with Galluppi and Cummings to discuss the making of the film. They also chew on the timeless quality of one-location movies, why we love a good freak out, the energy surrounding Galluppi’s new Evil Dead, and their favorite moral dilemma films.

Here’s the synopsis: “While awaiting the next...

Thirty years ago, Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and cinema was never the same. Tarantino’s 1994 epic-crime-pretzel-meets-pop-monologue masterpiece smashed open one door after another, and an inevitable result is that we saw a great many movies in the ’90s that were Tarantino knockoffs — underworld capers of baroque violence and exuberant scuzz, movies that not only bent the dirty hedonism of film noir into new shapes but did it with a special brand of self-consciousness, a “Look at what we’re up to!” effrontery.

That attitude became part of the landscape, though you could also say that after a while, as a literal genre, the Tarantino knockoff faded away. But “The Last Stop in Yuma County,” a real-time, single-location crime thriller set at a gas-food-lodging stop in sunbaked Arizona, is what you might call an exercise in Tarantino knockoff nostalgia. It’s a lean,...

Writer-director Francis Galluppi will soon face off Kandarian demons by helming the next Evil Dead film. This week sees the release of his star-studded feature debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County. An original Western thriller in the vein of early Coen Brothers, the film arrives this Friday, May 10 from Well Go USA in select theaters and VOD.

In anticipation, Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive clip featuring stars Jocelin Donahue and Barbara Crampton. Watch below and find the trailer and poster art underneath.

Here’s the story: “While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty—or cold, hard steel—to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune.”

Joining Donahue and Crampton is a who’s who of horror favorites: Jim Cummings,...

Jim Cummings both stars in and executive produces The Last Stop in Yuma County, diving into a tense hostage situation. Cummings embraced the challenge of playing a cowardly character in the film and enjoyed the camaraderie with the cast members. Though drawn to directing, Cummings found acting in a project he didn't create to be liberating, acknowledging the challenges in indie filmmaking.

Acclaimed indie filmmaker Jim Cummings is stepping in front of the camera for the crime thriller The Last Stop in Yuma County. Since making his feature directorial debut with the movie adaptation of his Sundance award-winning short Thunder Road, Cummings has largely made a name for himself as a multihyphenate filmmaker, including writing and directing the acclaimed 2020 horror-comedy The Wolf of Snow Hollow and co-writing/co-directing the 2021 erotic thriller The Beta Test, on which he also was the editor.

It’s easy to see why writer/director Francis Galluppi is already set to helm a new Evil Dead movie in the wake of his feature debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County. There’s a savage sense of humor and mean streak to Galluppi’s tense, dusty neo-noir western, even as it escalates the pressure cooker scenario. It helps that the film’s charismatic ensemble cast is filled with horror stalwarts, one that Galluppi fearlessly culls through with raucous glee, making for an insanely fun single-location thriller.

A massively delayed fuel truck strands various passersby and travelers at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, all waiting to fuel their vehicles so they can move on. That begins with the Knife Salesman (Jim Cummings), who arrives before diner waitress Charlotte gets dropped off for her shift by her Sheriff husband (The Dark and the Wicked’s Michael Abbott Jr.).

Richard Brake shines as a calm and calculating villain in The Last Stop in Yuma County. The movie's script captivated Brake similarly to his hit 2022 film Barbarian, keeping him engrossed as he read it like a novel. Brake loved working with Jocelin Donahue again and shared his emotions about Brad Dourif's retirement.

Richard Brake continues his terrifying villainous reign on screen with The Last Stop in Yuma County. Since making his breakout turns in Batman Begins as Wayne family killer Joe Chill and the 2005 Doom movie adaptation as Portman, the Welsh actor has steadily built an impressive filmography, largely comprised of antagonistic characters. Some of his more notable include Rob Zombie's 31, in which he starred as Doom-Head, Game of Thrones, in which he was the original Night King actor, and the breakout 2022 horror hit Barbarian.

Francis Galluppi’s tense and darkly funny The Last Stop in Yuma County begins with an unnamed traveling knife salesman (Jim Cummings) rolling up at the titular Arizona rest stop, looking to fill his tank. The place is nothing more than a couple of gas pumps, a tiny motel, and an old-school diner, complete with red leather booths and an infinite supply of strong black coffee. Despite the locale’s humble appearance, it’s about to become the site of a thrilling showdown that finds a fascinating mix of misfit characters caught in the crossfire.

The attendant, Vernon (Faizon Love), gives our protagonist the bad news first: They don’t have a drop of gas left to sell and the next stop isn’t for a hundred miles. There’s no way the salesman’s car will make it that far, so he’s stuck here until the next delivery arrives.

Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's next film, is projected to be a new masterpiece, with a Rotten Tomatoes score surpassing most of his films.

Review: Studios and production companies will often try to get around marketing their horror releases as straightforward horror movies. This is how we get the term “elevated horror”. It’s a marketer’s way of trying to get across the idea that the horror movie they’re promoting isn’t your average horror movie. This is something special, a movie to be held up above that other trash called horror. Given this aversion to accepting the horror label, it’s surprising to see that Paramount has chosen to market director Michael Patrick Jann’s cleverly titled Organ Trail as a “Horror Western”… because by doing so, they have slapped the horror brand on a movie that I wouldn’t have considered to be a horror movie otherwise.

Oscar season may have wrapped for the calendar year 2022, but Best Actor winner Brendan Fraser is still enjoying the fruits of his recent career labors. On Thursday evening, “The Whale” winner appeared at the Greenwich International Film Festival’s inaugural Inspiration Talk and award ceremony in Stamford, Connecticut where he was honored with the Giff Inspiration Award “designed to honor artists who inspire others through their craft or philanthropic endeavors.”

As People reports, during a wide-ranging chat with broadcast journalist Hannah Storm, Fraser was characteristically open about what’s next. So, post-Oscars win, what does the Canadian actor have on the horizon? “At the moment, I don’t have anything — I’m really being picky right now,” Fraser said.

After a grueling (and often emotional) Oscar season spent stumping for Darren Aronofsky’s heart-wrenching drama and speaking candidly about his own personal connection to the material, Fraser has certainly earned a little respite.

Organ Trail is a 2023 horror movie that capitalizes on the nostalgia for the video game The Oregon Trail. Kids raised in the '80s and '90s remember The Oregon Trail as an educational tool used to teach students about the titular route of pioneers and the general American migration to the West via wagon train in the mid-1800s. In 2010, a video game titled Organ Trail was released on the web that parodies The Oregon Trail but with a modern setting and zombies added in as the main threat. The 2023 movie Organ Trail is unrelated to that game despite being similarly inspired by The Oregon Trail.

Like The Oregon Trail, the movie is set in the 19th century, though a few decades later than the game. It's also more of a horror Western than a historical adventure, fitting into the recent trend of low-budget, gore-driven scary movies inspired by...
