In The Girl On The Train UK Trailer, Emily Blunt Fears Herself

What you see can hurt you and what we see intrigues us! Very few books have film adaptions before the book actually goes to press or just hot off the press like The Girl On The Train. Today Paula Hawkin’s best selling novel get’s its first trailer, check it out…

Sex, lies and Emily Blunt as disillusionment,psychological thriller meets mystery with untrustworthy folks leads to possible murder does our protagonist fear herself?

Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, Edgar Ramirez and Allison Janney star in The Girl on the Train, from director Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up) and producer Marc Platt (Bridge of Spies, Into the Woods). In the thriller, Rachel (Blunt), who is devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasising about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.

Based on Paula Hawkins’ bestselling novel, The Girl on the Train is adapted for the screen by Erin Cressida Wilson and Taylor. The film’s executive producers are Jared LeBoff and Celia Costas, and it will be released by Entertainment One in the UK.

Right away many folks will be saying this is like Gillian Flynn‘s Gone Girl which ironically was directed By David Fincher and released in cinemas around the time Paula Hawkins’ novel was released. It looks like they don’t shy away from that fact but this film could be a showcase film for Blunt whose rode the crest waves for a while. It playing on her performance and be her next step up after Sicario which delivered right sink and centre with. You wonder if David Fincher did direct how different the film might be but on paper Tate Taylor looks to deliver a fine job with a Hitchcokian-esque mystery that the great man would have enjoyed getting his hands on.

The Girl On The Train is set for a 7th October UK release date.
