Trailer for Emily Blunt's Mystery Thriller THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN
Last year a novel written by Paula Hawkins was released called The Girl on the Train, and I remember that no matter where I went it seemed like people were reading this book. Well, it's now been adapted into a major motion picture by director Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up), and it has a great cast that includes Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, Justin Theroux, Luke Evans, Allison Janney, Edgar Ramirez, Lisa Kudrow, and Laura Prepon.
This looks like a solid movie that will take its audience on a thrilling and intriguing mystery adventure. I haven't read the book, so at this point, I'm just going to wait to see the movie before I see how this story unfolds. The trailer has definitely captured my interest, though!
The story of Rachel Watson's life post-divorce. Every day, she takes the train in to work in London, and every day the train passes by her old house. The house she lived in with her husband, who still lives there, with his new wife and child. As she attempts to not focus on her pain, she starts watching a couple a few houses down -- Megan and Scott Hipwell. She creates a wonderful dream life for them in her head, about how they are a perfect happy family. And then one day, as the train passes, she sees something shocking, filling her with rage. The next day, she wakes up with a horrible hangover, various wounds and bruises, and no memory of the night before. She has only a feeling: something bad happened. Then come the TV reports: Megan Hipwell is missing.
The movie is being produced by DreamWorks Pictures and Universal will release it on October 7th, 2016. You can find a poster for the film below the trailer.
