Tate Taylor has locked down the main trio of female stars for his next film, the adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ best-seller The Girl On The Train. Completing the initial batch of casting is The Equalizer’s Haley Bennett.
Erin Cressida Wilson adapted the script from Hawkins’ much buzzed-about book, which drew comparisons to Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl for its narrative. We’ll caution that even the basic synopsis might be considered a spoiler, but read on if you wish… The story follows a recently divorced woman called Rachel (Emily Blunt) struggling with her life and sinking into alcoholism to try to cope. She sees a seemingly perfect couple from her London train ride every day and starts to fantasise about their lives. But things take a turn when she sees something shocking happen in the house…
This is shaping up to be something special on the acting front, with Blunt and, more recently, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’s Rebecca Ferguson boarding the film. With Bennett signed, Taylor is on to casting the male roles.
Bennett has worked on a variety of recent movies, including Warren Beatty’s untitled latest, one of Terrence Malick’s new films, which is similarly nameless, and The Magnificent Seven remake, which reunites her with her Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua. That’s scheduled for release here on September 23, 2016.
