The Girl on the Train Trailer 2

The second movie trailer for The Girl on the Train (2016) has been released for the Tate Taylor‘s directed film. I didn’t quite know what to think about Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt)’s mental abilities in the first trailer for this film. Her recall of the key day and night in question was always dubious at best because alcohol had erased much of her memory.

This trailer shows all of the other key players in this narrative, including the characters portrayed by Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, and Allison Janney. When Watson shows up, saying that she is trying to help with finding the missing woman (Haley Bennett), it is hard to take Watson seriously because of her checkered past, her alcoholism, and the gap in her memory.

Violence plays a key role in this trailer as the last third of it is comprised of a physical assault against a key character in the film by an unseen assailant. The Girl on the Train looks like a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs.

The Girl on the Train‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Paula Hawkins, “The Girl on the Train is the story of Rachel Watson’s life post-divorce. Every day, she takes the train in to work in New York, and every day the train passes by her old house. The house she lived in with her husband, who still lives there, with his new wife and child. As she attempts to not focus on her pain, she starts watching a couple a few houses down — Megan and Scott Hipwell.

She creates a wonderful dream life for them in her head, about how they are a perfect happy family. And then one day, as the train passes, she sees something shocking, filling her with rage. The next day, she wakes up with a horrible hangover, various wounds and bruises, and no memory of the night before. She has only a feeling: something bad happened. Then come the TV reports: Megan Hipwell is missing. Rachel becomes invested in the case and trying to find out what happened to Megan, where she is, and what exactly she herself was up to that same night Megan went missing.”

The Girl on the Train also stars Laura Prepon, Edgar Ramírez, Allison Janney, Lisa Kudrow, Marko Caka, Darren Goldstein, Nicole Bonifacio, Frank Anello, Lana Young, and Mauricio Ovalle.
