Emily Blunt in The Girl On The Train

Normally what you can expect to see from the train as it slowly chugs through the suburbs is someone picking their nose or the various bits and bobs littering gardens. But Emily Blunt sees something quite different in the new trailer for The Girl On The Train – which if you're aiming to go in pure to the movie and haven't read the book it's based on, might be best skipped for now.

Adapted from Paula Hawkins' bestseller, itself described as being in the Gone Girl vein of mystery thrillers, the film maintains that suburban noir feel as the setting switches from London to New York State, but maintains Rachel (Blunt) as our distinctly unreliable narrator and guide through a world of fence-peeping, jealousy and half-buried secrets.

Some of the character dynamics come into sharper focus here and there's yet more of the steamy thrills lurking within as the likes of Justin Theroux, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans and Rebecca Ferguson twist and weave about one another and Allison Janney's cop investigates a missing persons case.
