Author Paula Hawkins? best-selling 2015 novel The Girl on the Train has prompted many a comparison to Gillian Flynn?s fellow best-selling book, Gone Girl, so it?s perhaps only fitting that the Girl on the Train film adaptation will be hitting theaters this year in October: the same month that director David Fincher?s Gone Girl movie adaptation opened to a strong critical reception and box office success, back in 2014. Girl on the Train, like Gone Girl, combines elements of a psychological thriller with a mystery that revolves around an untrustworthy protagonist, martial disillusionment? and possibly murder. Its potential filmmaking merits aside, The Girl on the Train should no doubt be elevated by the efforts of its talented ensemble cast. In addition to Blunt and Theroux, Girl on the Train stars such names as Luke Evans, Rebecca Ferguson , Haley Bennett , Laura Prepon, Allison Janney, Lisa Kudrow, and Edgar Ramírez .
