Verity plot
Based on the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover, this seductive and psychological thriller centers on famous writer Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a writer who moves into the Crawford estate to write for her. When Lowen uncovers what seems to be the chilling autobiographical notes written by Verity, she struggles to tell between fact and fiction, as well as between manipulation and attraction.
What's in the trailer?
Lowen Ashleigh, the main character of the film, is portrayed by Emma Johnson, a writer who gets hired to finish a successful book series written by Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway). Verity Crawford falls into a vegetative state due to a car accident, which prompts the need for someone to finish her book series.
As shown in the trailer, there seems to be a romantic yet paradoxical relationship between Lowen Ashleigh and Verity's husband, Jeremy (Josh Hartnett). There is a scene where a passionate kiss turns abruptly to show Verity in Jeremy's place, smiling as they break apart. This is followed up by a brutal fight scene where Verity, who was supposed to be confined in her bed, attacks Lowen and bites her. The teaser concludes with a chilling declaration from Lowen, 'I'm going to take it from you. All of it.'
