Things are gathering speed for the adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ thriller novel The Girl On The Train, which DreamWorks is busy developing. The Help's Tate Taylor hopped aboard to direct late last month and now Emily Blunt is in early talks for the titular role.
Hawkins’ novel follows a recently divorced woman called Rachel 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 fantasize about their lives. But things take a turn when she returns home covered in blood after a blackout drunk spree, and may have become intertwined with their lives... According to The Wrap, DreamWorks is looking at Fantastic Four's Kate Mara for one of the other main roles.
With roughly two million copies of the tome sold so far, it’s easy to see why DreamWorks might see the potential in this one, with Secretary/Men, Women & Children writer Erin Cressida Wilson at work on the adaptation.
Blunt, last seen in Into The Woods, will be back on screens for crime drama Sicario (out here September 25) and will be heard in animated comedy Animal Crackers, due next year. She’s currently busy shooting Snow White And The Huntsman prequel The Huntsman.
