Verity Movie Versus Book: The Differences

While Hoover has shared her take before, she noted the movie gave her “food for thought.”  “I thought a certain way for so long after writing the book, that seeing the movie and seeing how Michael dove into every point of view, I started to find myself feeling sorry for the character I thought was more evil in the book,” she told E!. “Not that the movie shifts you in one direction or another. I think it was just really fun seeing everyone’s opinions of the truth.”
Showalter notes “there were different ways that we tried ending the movie.” And while fans will just have to see how the film concludes, the director says he tried to incorporate the perspectives of Verity, Lowen and Jeremy.”You get three different versions of the story,” he explained to E!. “I found myself not taking sides. I found myself wanting to honor each individual of our performers’ realities, to honor that in the filmmaking, so that we weren’t tipping the hat one way or the other.”
