Emily Blunt Stars in the Creepy Big Screen Adaptation of 'The Girl on the Train'
Complete with a trailer scored by an alternate rendition of Yeezy’s “Heartless.”
Paula Hawkins’ bestselling The Girl on the Train was one of the most popular novels of 2015 thanks to its gripping, psychologically jarring storyline and apt comparisons to Gone Girl. Now, like Gone Girl before it, the page-turner is getting a creepy big screen adaptation. Directed by Tate Taylor (The Help, Get On Up), the film follows Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt). Devastated by her recent divorce, Rachel spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect married couple (nicknamed “Jess and Jason”) that lives a few houses down from her old home — which she passes every day and is now home to her ex-husband and his new wife. One morning on the train, however, she witnesses something out her window that changes everything she had imagined. When “Jess” subsequently goes missing, Rachel becomes entangled in the unfolding mystery as she wonders if she’s somehow connected to the disappearance.
Starring Blunt alongside the likes of Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, Justin Theroux, Luke Evans, Allison Janney, Edgar Ramirez, Lisa Kudrow and Laura Prepon, DreamWorks’ The Girl on the Train hits theaters October 7.
