THE GIRL ON<br />
THE TRAIN<br />
UNIVERSAL / OCT. 7<br />
n Novelist Paula Hawkins took a risk when she took six months off to write The Girl on the Train. Up till then<br />
she’d had no financial success with her writing. The gamble paid off: the dark thriller, her first, hit the New York<br />
Times bestseller list where it sat on top for 13 weeks. This adaptation, by award-winning screenwriter Erin Cressida<br />
Wilson, stars Emily Blunt as an alcoholic woman who rides the train into the city each day (even though she<br />
has lost her job) and fantasizes about the lives of the people she sees during her daily journey.<br />
