    Emily Blunt Is Broken in the First 'The Girl on the Train' Trailer

    When Paula Hawkins’ novel The Girl on the Train became the publishing sensation of last year, a lot of people compared it to Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl.

    When artist Kirk Van Wormer first spoke with director David Fincher about Gone Girl, the conversation didn’t go quite as he expected. “I have to tell you, the coolest and weirdest thing is to get a phone call from David Fincher saying ‘I’d like you to do some illustrations for my next movie,’ and then to find out that there’s no dead bodies or gore,” says Van Wormer. “I have a background in horror, so I was like, ‘Alright, I’m ready to go, David Fincher!’ And then he wanted cute, adorable chil
