Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” was published in 2012 with huge success, and two years later it was adapted into an equally successful movie. The Oscar-nominated film saw great performances from lead actors Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
“Gone Girl,” a postmodern mystery film directed by David Fincher, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and Carrie Coon in major roles. The movie follows the events that unfold in Nick Dunne’s (Affleck) life when his wife, Amy (Pike), mysteriously vanishes. Things turn for the worse when Nick becomes the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance.
“Gone Girl” is much-loved by fans for several reasons. Firstly, the story plot is intense and unforgettable due to its unanticipated climax. Secondly, both the book and movie offer a female protagonist who is complex and resourceful beyond measure. If you’re yet to watch it, we recommend that you do so. And finally, for...

Stopped trains, tepid white wine, sighing commuters … Paula Hawkins’s bestseller captured a very British world. As the film moves to New York, we look at the dos and don’ts of relocation
‘The 8.04 slow train from Ashbury to Euston,” says the narrator in The Girl on the Train as the service trundles to a stop, “can test the patience of the most seasoned commuter. The journey is supposed to take 54 minutes, but it rarely does: this section of the track is ancient, decrepit, beset with signal problems and never-ending engineering works.”
It’s details like this – and the carriage full of sighing passengers – that made Paula Hawkins’ bestseller so appealing: the evocation of an all too familiar world of British disappointment and frustration. In this glum milieu, divorced alcoholic Rachel Watson gets a bottle of chenin blanc from a Whistlestop to take the edge off her return journey – and...

MaryAnn’s quick take…
An imperfect adaptation of an uncinematic novel is nevertheless a challenging portrait of a woman as deeply screwed up as usually only men get to be onscreen. I’m “biast” (pro): love Emily Blunt, desperate for movies about women
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
I have read the source material (and I am indifferent about it)
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
It is a sad irony that one of the underlying themes of The Girl on the Train — how women are demeaned, belittled, and infantilized as a matter of course in our culture, often to the point where we don’t even appreciate that that is what is being done to us — is reinforced by its very title. The “girl” on the train is Rachel Watson, who regularly rides the Metro-North commuter railroad into Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal and...

The Girl on the Train is a mysterious, mid-budget thriller aimed squarely at adults — in other words, it's the kind of movie Hollywood rarely makes anymore. While it does suffer from some unintentionally comedic moments, it's otherwise a pretty straightforward adaptation of Paula Hawkins' bestselling novel with its best asset being a standout performance from Emily Blunt.
Blunt plays Rachel Watson, a divorced alcoholic who rides the same train from the suburbs into Manhattan every day and becomes obsessed with a couple she sees out the window. She crafts elaborate backstories for them as she passes by, imagining their relationship as an idyllic true love to avoid the pain of thinking about how her marriage fell apart. Rachel used to live two doors down from this couple, and she can't stop herself from stealing a glance into her former house and seeing her ex's new wife and baby through...

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski continued their reign as one of Hollywood's cutest couples when they attended the premiere of The Girl on the Train in NYC on Tuesday. Emily, who was on hand to promote her latest project, dazzled in a gorgeous green gown, while John looked dapper in a navy suit. In the film, which hits theaters on Oct. 7 and also stars Justin Theroux, Emily takes on the leading role of Rachel Watson, a British divorcée who gets entangled in a missing woman's disappearance. Just last month, John couldn't help but rave about his wife's performance in the film, telling Popsugar, "It's the best she's ever done . . . She always blows me away, but in this particular role, I can say genuinely for the first time, it's the only time since, as long as I've known her, that I ever forgot that it was her on screen."

Paula Hawkins' watercooler thriller The Girl On The Train garnered stratospheric readership upon its release back in early January 2015, the immersive page-turner rapidly became the most scintillating whodunit since Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl (to which it's frequently compared).
Every tube car, street corner and airport lounge saw a sea of nose-deep bibliophiles eagerly consuming Hakwins' source novel which eventually amassed sales of 11 million worldwide. Rattling along the idyllic outskirts of middle class suburbia (on the Metro North Line), anguished divorcee Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt) silently sups from a vodka filled beaker whilst vigilantly gazing at the white picket houses of her former neighbourhood during the twice daily Manhattan commute (the locale of the film switching from London to New York).

Author Paula Hawkins’ debut novel “The Girl on the Train” was practically engineered for bestselling success, a twisted tale that drew early comparisons to Gillian Flynn’s infectious “Gone Girl” and handily capitalized on a desire for more stories centered on so-called “unlikable” characters. The thriller unfolds in various compelling ways — playing with both timeline and narrator with ease and smarts — but its basic plotline follows alcoholic Rachel Watson after she discovers that a woman who she sees every day from her morning train commute has gone missing.

Sinking into the film version of the Paula Hawkins bestselling mystery-thriller The Girl on the Train, the first thing you notice missing is England. That’s right, Hollywood has replaced that misty London train from which said girl thinks she witnesses sex, violence and maybe murder with a Westchester commuter express whooshing in and out of Manhattan's Grand Central Station. It's just not the same.

There’s a moment somewhere in the middle of The Girl on the Train, adapted from the hit Paula Hawkins novel, in which Detective Riley (Allison Janney) lays out some of the coincidences and potential consequences that have begun to play out for Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt), an alcoholic implicated in a local missing persons case. Said missing person happens to be a young woman named Megan (Haley Bennett) who lives two houses down from where Rachel once lived with her ex-husband Tom (Justin Theroux), where he still lives with his new wife Anna (Rebecca Ferguson) and their newborn. Also, it turns out that Megan was Tom and Anna’s nanny. Oh, and she might be having an affair, which Rachel might have seen from the window of the commuter train she takes into the city every day.

Imagine if “Gone Girl” had been developed as a toothless network television pilot — if it had been stripped of its subversive approach to gender dynamics, bludgeoned free of its sadistic gallows humor and shot like a very special episode of “NCIS: Suburbia.” Imagine if it hadn’t been directed by a filmmaker who’s drawn to trash the way that most people are to perfume, someone who genuinely believes you can learn as much about marriage and misogyny from the novels sold at an airport bookstore as you can from those taught in a college classroom. Imagine instead that it had been directed by the guy who made “The Help.”

Viewers will be quick to compare Tate Taylor’s The Girl On The Train with David Fincher’s Gone Girl, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Both are twisted tales of suburban intrigue, both are deviously deceptive, and both are based off best-selling literary works. Even better, any connections are meant as praise, and well deserved. Long Island plays backdrop to a searing story of betrayal and bloodshed, as Taylor somehow translates literature’s line-by-line, page-turning sensation to screen unlike similar adaptations have been able to manage. Fans of Paula Hawkins’ novel will be mystified and shell-shocked all over again, sharing in the brutal tension that newer audiences will embrace with a detective’s enthusiasm. Maybe there’s even some Oscar buzz to come? I’m not quite sold, but the seed has been planted…

Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train, doesn't think Emily Blunt is a good fit for the movie adaptation of her novel. Blunt, who stars as the titular character Rachel Watson, is too pretty to play the main character who is supposed to be an overweight divorcee with a bad drinking problem. "Oh, she's too beautiful to play Rachel," Hawkins told the Daily Mail. "They've done their best, I mean to sort of make her look a bit s--t, but you know..." Despite her strong opinion about the casting of the movie, Hawkins admitted she did enjoy Blunt's work in The Devil Wears Prada and said she does an "extraordinary job" in this film.

The first trailer for Tate Taylor’s The Girl On The Train glossed over the benders that make Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt) an unreliable narrator and/or eyewitness, but the latest promo sees her confront her addiction issues while professing her innocence. The divorced voyeur has spent months projecting fantasies onto a couple she sees from her commuter train, only to learn that she has direct ties to them in real life. The beautiful young woman, Megan Hipwell (Haley Bennett), is nanny to Rachel’s ex-husband Tom’s (Justin Theroux) child with his new wife Anna (Rebecca Ferguson).
After Megan goes missing, there’s a bevy of tall, dark, and handsome suspects for Officer Riley (Allison Janney) to run down. Aside from Tom, there’s also Megan’s husband Scott (Luke Evans) and her hunky therapist played by Édgar Ramírez. There might be infidelity, though Rachel can’t be sure...

The Help and Get on Up helmer Tate Taylor is looking to add to this canon with The Girl on the Train, which has been given its second trailer. The first trailer was a twisting look into the plot, perhaps too liberal with information. This second trailer does more of the same, but also adds to the atmosphere and reveal more of Emily Blunt’s muddled perspective to pull audiences in.
The eye of Dp Charlotte Bruus Christensen (The Hunt) is also on full display here, with sharp cinematography to attract one to the adaptation of the hit book. The cast is led by Blunt, and rounded off by Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, Justin Theroux, Edgar Ramírez, Rebecca Ferguson, and Laura Prepon.

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 first trailer for “The Girl on the Train” shows Emily Blunt witnessing — or possibly committing — a serious crime. Blunt plays Rachel Watson, who witnesses the mysterious disappearance of a woman while on her commute. Allison Janney plays an investigator who connects Rachel to the missing blonde, named Megan Atwell (Haley Bennett). It turns out Megan is the nanny for Rachel’s ex-husband (Justin Theroux) — and he seems awfully chummy with his hired help. Did Rachel kill the nanny? Tate Taylor adapted the best-selling thriller novel by Paula Hawkins. Also Read: 'The Girl on the Train' First Trailer: Sex,...

Always up for a challenge, Emily Blunt has taken on the role of alcoholic obsessive voyeur Rachel Watson in the forthcoming film adaptation of the bestselling Paula Hawkins novel “The Girl on the Train.”
And in a few newly-released preview photos, the “Adjustment Bureau” star certainly fits the bill- director Tate Taylor notes, “You can’t avoid the puns with this movie- she’s a train wreck.”
Taylor also shares, “Rachel does things that we all think and we all wish we could do,” while also sharing that the film takes place in Manhattan rather than the book’s London setting. “It adds another layer of loneliness. She’s trying to reclaim or redefine herself, and yet she’s not in her native land.” “The Girl on the Train” is slated to hit theaters on October 7th.

The stream of photos from Hollywood studios continues.
Universal Pictures has released the first pic from Neighbors 2, which sees Zac Efron and Seth Rogen suited up in short shorts while Rose Byrne is decked out in a cheerleader costume. Considering the fact that Chloe Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez joined the movie as sorority sisters, the new film will be about the stars from the first film joining forces to take down the sorority. That one hits theaters on May 20th, 2016.
Next up, EW has a couple of first-look photos of Emily Blunt as Rachel Watson in DreamWorks' The Girl on the Train, which is based on Paula Hawkins' best-selling novel.

Proving that career momentum is everything, Golden Globe nominee Edgar Ramirez (Carlos The Jackal) is apparently close to a deal that would see him climb aboard the upcoming big screen adaptation of the 2015 bestselling novel, The Girl On The Train, by Paula Hawkins. The female-led story will be directed by Tate Taylor (The Help), with an adapted screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson (Men, Women And Children). Ramirez, who stars as Bodhi in this year’s Point Break – the role made famous by Patrick Swayze – is circling the role of Dr Kamal Abdric, which forms a significant part of a labyrinthine plot, steeped in mystery and intrigue.
