            Emily Blunt Is quickly becoming one of the best actresses around right now, partly because she’s so well rounded. In the last two years alone, she’s been seen in a musical (Into the Woods), an action/sci-fi film (Edge of Tomorrow) and even was the lead in one of the best director’s latest thrillers (Denis Villenueve’s Sicario). This year, she will be seen in Tate Taylor’s (The Help, Get on Up) latest movie, The Girl on the Train.

            The film follows Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt), a divorcee who obsessively views her former life from the window of a train. Every day, she takes the train in to work in New York City and it passes by her old house, where she lived with her ex-husband, Tom, who still lives with there with his new wife Anna. While she tries to avoid the pain of her former life, she begins to obsessively watch an attractive couple, a few houses down. One day, Rachel wakes up hungover with various bruises and learns that Megan has gone missing.

            Based on this trailer, it seems that the film will be this year’s version of Gone Girl that was so successful a couple of years ago as a female-led thriller. The Girl on the Train will be released in theaters on October 7^th. Along with Blunt, the movie also stars Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans. Edgar Ramirez, Allison Janney and Lisa Kudrow. Check out the trailer below!
