Anne Hathaway’s Darkest Role Yet Lands in Aurora Theaters This Weekend
If you thought Anne Hathaway’s 2024 was busy—The Idea of You, Mothers’ Instinct, that viral Devil Wears Prada reunion—wait until you see her in Verity. The Colleen Hoover adaptation hits screens Friday, and it’s not the rom-com energy Aurora book clubs might expect.
Hathaway plays Verity Crawford, a bestselling thriller author incapacitated by a mysterious accident. Dakota Johnson steps in as Lowen Ashleigh, the struggling writer hired to finish Verity’s series—only to uncover a manuscript that reads less like fiction and more like a confession. Josh Hartnett rounds out the trio as Verity’s husband, Jeremy, oscillating between grieving devotion and something far harder to name.
Directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Idea of You), the film leans into the novel’s claustrophobic tension. Early screenings suggest Hathaway delivers a career-best pivot—icy, unreadable, terrifying in ways The Witches only hinted at.
Catch it locally at: - AMC Dine-In Southlands 16 (reserved recliners, full bar—ideal for post-movie decompression) - Regal Aurora Town Center (IMAX screen amplifies the score’s dread) - Alamo Drafthouse Denver (short drive, strict no-talking policy—Verity demands silence)
Pro tip: Skip the trailer. Hoover’s twists hit harder blind. And maybe don’t go alone—Aurora nights feel longer after this one.
Verity opens October 18. Tickets moving fast at Fandango and theater apps.
