So here I was on Friday, counting down the days until the film adaptation of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN opens in theaters (today marks 11!), when I just so happened to double check the director behind the project and...just like that my excitement instantly deflated.

WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL TELL ME Tate Taylor WAS THE DIRECTOR?

The guy that brought us the abominations better known as The Help and Get On Up is also behind one of the big screen adaptation of one of the best books I've read this year. *insert all the sad face emojis in the universe here*

But, I am going to remain cautiously optimistic. Maybe this won't be the hot garbage Taylor's other films were. Maybe Taylor's true calling is engrossing thrillers adapted from bestselling novels. I mean, it could happen,...I guess.

For those who are unfamiliar, here's the synopsis:

Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, Haley Bennett, Edgar Ramirez and Allison Janney star in DreamWorks Pictures' The Girl on the Train, from director Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up) and producer Marc Platt (Bridge of Spies, Into the Woods). In the thriller, Rachel (Blunt), who is devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.

Based on Paula Hawkins' bestselling novel, The Girl on the Train is adapted for the screen by Erin Cressida Wilson. The film's executive producers are Jared LeBoff and Celia Costas, and it will be released by Universal Pictures.
