Haley Bennett (The Equalizer) has landed a lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of The Girl On The Train.
Paula Hawkins wrote the best-selling novel of which the film is based, with Emily Blunt (Sicario) and Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) already cast in the other lead roles. Blunt plays Rachel, “a recent divorcee who narrates the tale and spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day. One morning, she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds, involving the other two women.”
Bennett’s star is certainly on the rise after her role in Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer opposite Denzel Washington, as Fuqua added her to the impressive cast of his upcoming The Magnificent Seven remake opposite Washington and Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), and has now joined the equally impressive cast of Tate Taylor’s (The Help) upcoming adaptation.
The Girl On The Train is set for release in 2016.
