FILM 1617: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN
TRIVIA: To date (2016), Paula Hawkins' book
that inspired this film is the fastest-selling adult novel in history.
Original author Paula Hawkins had Michelle Williams in
mind for the role of Rachel Watson, which went to Emily Blunt.
The painting that Rachel Watson (Emily Blunt) is
looking at in an art gallery is "The Subway" by George Tooker.
The book that this film is based on
is actually set in England, and Rachel Watson gets the train into London. Emily Blunt is from
London, England. For this film, the location was changed to New York but Rachel
speaks with Emily's natural British accent in keeping with author Paula Hawkins'
vision.
Friends (1994)
reference: When Lisa Kudrow's character sees Rachel (Emily Blunt) on the
train, she excitedly exclaims, "Rachel! I haven't seen you in a million
years!" Kudrow's character on the sitcom, Phoebe Buffey, was best friends
with Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston). Coincidentally, Aniston's real-life
husband, Justin Theroux,
plays Rachel's ex-husband in this film.
