First Pics Of Emily Blunt In The Girl On The Train Movie Adaptation

December 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

girl-on-the-train-pic1Paula Hawkins’ The Girl On The Train has been a huge hit as a book, so it’s not surprising at all that Hollywood has picked it up and is making a movie. The film is chugging forwards quickly, wth Emily Blunt in the lead role and Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Édgar Ramírez, Luke Evans, Allison Janney, and Lisa Kudrow co-starring.

The book follows ‘Rachel, [who] takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

‘And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?’

The novel has been compared to Gone Girl and also has shades of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple tale, 4.50 From Paddington. For the movie the action has been moved from Britain to the US (although Blunt will still be British). Tate Taylor (The Help) directs, with the movie due out next summer.

Chris Evans & Jared Leto Are Circling Girl On The Train

September 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-EvansEmily Blunt has recently been talking about her role in the adaptation of the hit book Girl On A Train, saying that while the action may be relocating from London to New York, she will still play the character as English. Now she may also have some co-stars (alongside the previously cast Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett), as Variety reports that Chris Evans and Jared Leto are being eyed for the movie.

Paula Hawkin’s book made history when it spent 20 consecutive weeks at the top of the hardback bestseller charts, and ‘follows a woman (Blunt) devastated by her recent divorce who spends her commute fantasizing about a seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day. Along the way, she becomes entangled in a mystery revolving around the married couple.’

Assuming they sign on Evans will be Ferguson’s husband, while Leto will be the hubby of Bennett.

Out director Tate Taylor (The Help) is set to helm the movie from Cressida Wilson’s script. It’s believed shooting will start later this year.

Tate Taylor To Helm Apollo 11 Alternate History In The Event Of A Moon Disaster

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tate-taylorTate Taylor had a big hit with The Help, but we’re still waiting for his follow-up, Get On Up, a biopic of James Brown (oh, and Tate is gay, if you didn’t know). However he’s already planning what he’s going to do next, as TheWrap reports that he’s set to helm In the Event of a Moon Disaster.

The movie is set in an alternate history when things go terribly wrong for the 1969 moon landings.

Although that might seem a little tacky, the idea for the script, by Mike Jones, came from a real-life speech found in the papers of Pulitzer Prize winning author and former presidential speechwriter William Safire. Safire, who passed away in 2009, penned ‘In Event of Moon Disaster’ so that Richard Nixon would have had a ready made response if Apollo 11 had resulted in tragedy.

It just goes to show – politicians like to be prepared for everything.

There’s no news on when it might shoot.

Sandra Bullock May Have A Tupperware Party With The Help Director Tate Taylor

April 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sandra-BullockSandra Bullock’s stock has never been higher following the double-whammy success of The Heat and Gravity. Now she’s planning films for the future, with THR reporting that she’s circling a currently untitled film about Tupperware, which openly gay The Help director Tate Taylor is helming.

If she does sign on, she would play sales exec Brownie Wise who in the 1950s helped revolutionise Earl Silas Tupper’s Tupperware brand when she came up with the idea of holding parties to sell the goods. Wise became ‘as popular as the product she was selling and in 1954 she also became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week’.

However despite her popularity she clashed with Tupper and was pushed out in 1958. The company’s founder then tried his best to erase her from the company records. She is considered one of the first casualties of the post-World War II sexism wars.

Bullock isn’t officially signed on as yet, but she has met with Taylor about the movie. The director wrote the script based on Tupperware Unsealed, the non-fiction book written by Bob Kealing.

Chadwick Boseman Takes On James Brown In Tate Taylor’s Musical Biopic

August 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chadwick-bosemanFor a while now Universal Pictures has been working on a currently Untitled James Brown Biopic. Now they’ve found their Godfather of Soul, as Variety reports that 42 star Chadwick Boseman is set to star.

Tate Taylor (the openly gay director of The Help) is on board to helm the movie, which will follow Brown’s rise from extreme poverty as a child in North Carolina to becoming one of the most iconic musicians of all time. Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer has been trying to get this James Brown biopic off the ground for more than a decade, with the project only now getting the green light with Universal signed up and happy with the budget.

Jez Butterworth (Fair Game) and John-Henry Butterworth wrote the screenplay, with Brian Grazer producing alongside The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger and Erica Huggins (Flightplan). It’s not clear when it might shoot.

The Help’s Tate Taylor Set For Stephen King’s Joyland

May 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tate-TaylorTate Taylor had a massive success with his directorial debut, The Help, but so far he hasn’t made a follow-up. Now he’s got a new movie in the works, as Taylor has optioned Stephen King’s upcoming novel, Joyland, according to Deadline.

The official description of the book says that it is, ‘Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever.’

The novel is due to be published in June.

The openly gay Taylor is planning to write the screenplay adaptation and direct. He’ll probably have to movie fast though, as fed up with people taking film rights to his books and then never actually making a film, King now allows people to option his novels for a small fee up front, but there is also a “ticking clock” aspect to ensure things keep moving towards the screen.
