Dakota Johnson’s candid and down-to-earth vibe shines through in her recent interview about her upcoming film, Verity, which she discussed during Cannes. The movie, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, also stars Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett.
Johnson admitted she wasn’t initially familiar with Verity before receiving the script, but quickly recognized Hoover’s massive fanbase. She called Hoover a “funny” and “cool person,” showing her easygoing nature.
She gave a brief rundown of the plot: Johnson plays a ghostwriter hired to finish the novels of a famous author who’s been in an accident. The story unfolds in the author’s home with her husband and child, leading to “juicy” twists and turns.
Fans of the book are buzzing with excitement, especially on social media, as the project nears release. This enthusiasm echoes the fervor around the adaptation of another Hoover novel, It Ends With Us. However, that film became overshadowed by the legal battle between co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, involving serious accusations and countersuits.
For now, Verity is capturing attention for its intriguing premise and star-studded cast, with Dakota Johnson’s straightforward charm adding to the buzz.
