Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett brought Verity, the thriller adapted from Colleen Hoover’s novel, to the Curzon Mayfair for its UK premiere.
Verity, the psychological thriller adapted from Colleen Hoover’s novel, had its UK premiere at the Curzon Mayfair on Thursday 24 September 2026. Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett led the carpet with the director, Michael Showalter.
Johnson plays the struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh. Born in Austin, Texas, in 1989 to the actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, she first appeared on screen at ten beside her mother in Crazy in Alabama.
She took a small part in The Social Network and then led Fifty Shades of Grey. Suspiria, The Lost Daughter and Materialists followed.
Hartnett, who plays Jeremy Crawford, made his name in Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down in 2001. Showalter’s films include The Big Sick, and Anne Hathaway plays the title role.
Nick Antosca adapted the novel, first self-published in 2018 and later a bestseller. Jeremy hires Lowen to finish the book series of his wife, the author Verity Crawford, after an accident leaves her unable to write. In the family’s secluded house, Lowen finds what appears to be Verity’s autobiographical manuscript.
The premiere came eight days before the film opened in British cinemas. Sony Pictures released it outside North America, where Amazon MGM Studios handled it.
