After the incredible worldwide success of Paula Hawkins novel ‘The Girl on the Train,’ the movie of the same title has been adapted and will be released this month. The book certainly was a huge page turner that kept us on the edge of our seats and we have no doubt that the movie give us that same nail biting experience.
With an all-star cast, gracing our screens are the likes of Emily Blunt (Rachel) Luke Evans (Scott) Justin Theroux (Tom) and Lisa Kudrow (Monica.) Directed by Tate Taylor who has previously directed ‘The Help,’ we have extremely high expectations of this film.
The mystery/thriller focuses on Rachel, a divorcee alcoholic on her train commute who fantasises about a couple who lives a couple of doors down from her ex and his new family.
One day she sees something shocking and gets herself caught up in the mystery that will soon follow to change the lives of everyone.
Thrilling stuff right? Blunt said of playing the character Rachel, “I don’t have an addictive personality whatsoever, so it was like wearing somebody else’s skin.” “As alien as this person is to who I truly am, I had to understand her and empathise and get into that mind set.”
‘The Girl on the Train’ is set to be released on 7th October.
