With the trailers out and lots of details around, we've got everything you need to know about it right here.

The Cast
Emily Blunt is heading up the cast of the adaptation as Rachel, a woman who becomes entranced by a couple she rides by on her train commute every day. She's also struggling with her semi-recent divorce and her ex's new life. Also in the cast are Justin Theroux, Lisa Kudrow, and Luke Evans — see who everyone is playing.
The Trailers
There are multiple trailers to watch, which make the film look loyal to the book (and incredible).

The Setting
The book is prominently set in London — Rachel's commute between a suburb and a city is how all of her observations start — but the movie will not be in the UK. The setting has been relocated to New York (also known for its trains). Don't worry that the film's British lead will lose her accent due to the change; Emily Blunt told the BBC that her character would stay British.
