THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN | 10.07.16 | Universal | final gross ● 75.40 M

[Hatebox]

Been meaning to read the book. Didn't realise it was big in the US?

[Jake Gittes]

Now how about we just get a different director for this?

[elcuervo]

I thought the book was absolute trash, so it'll be interesting to see if this can elevate the material.

justin theroux is a major upgrade from chris evans tbh.

Serious downgrade. 

Regardless, he's wrong for the part as written in the book because he always comes off slimy and untrustworthy.

[CoolioD1]

haha

Leto replaced by  Luke Evans. Laughable.

[bapi]

Basically they leaked Leto and Chris Evans' names to gain more interest and now 'replaced' them with some 4th-5th choice options. That's just ridiculous.

[Joel M]

I have no idea about the plot but if it's a mystery/thriller, shame they didn't give it to Fincher so he can have the "Best seller Girl trilogy".

Fincher, like Nolan, these guys need to branch out a little.

I'm not sure why people keep underrating Luke Evans. He's an incredibly talented actor. He's definitely not a 4th-5th choice.

 

And I don't think leaking Chris Evans' name on anything outside of Marvel is really all that helpful. Sorry stans. He's just not a draw in any other type of movie.

This is a Universal release now, not Disney. http://www.thewrap.com/universal-sets-release-date-for-dreamworks-the-girl-on-the-train/

I guess Disney locked Ghost in the Shell. That is the only explanation to not drop to Universal's schedule. 

[Frozen]

Why did this happen?

[Cochofles]

Thank God it wasn't Chris Balsawood Evans; this looks too intriguing for it to star a male Megan Fox like him.

[kayumanggi]

It's a Dreamworks production. DW now has a deal with Universal.

Luke Evans is a million times the actor that Chris Evans is, regardless of what Marvel stans say. And Theroux and Leto are both incredibly talented. Some people are mocking the new casting of Theroux and Luke because of Chris and Jared's current visibility thanks to their recent/upcoming superhero shenanigans. Reality is that visibility can't change the fact that Chris Evans is a just a pretty face (and not a draw anyway).

[CJohn]

I prefer Luke Evans over Chris Evans an Theroux over Leto tbh. 

[RyneOh1040]

I was on board (pun intended) with this book until about half way in.  At that point, everything became predictable, the characters lost any sense of interesting factor they had and the conclusion was down right terrible.

 

I know everyone uses this comparison but it really is most accurate to say it's a very poor man's Gone Girl.

I imagine it's similar to Cowboys and Aliens which was released by Universal in the US and Paramount OS in 2011 in the same year they started the Disney deal.

 

I'm surprised they're keeping the DreamWorks brand for live action films rather than stop licensing it from DWA.
