Paula Hawkins's bestseller The Girl on the Train is this year's Gone Girl, and it's also going to be adapted into a movie soon. The Help's director, Tate Taylor, will helm the mystery, which revolves around a woman (OK, a girl) whose obsession with a couple she sees on her daily commute may be more insidious than it seems. Emily Blunt is playing the lead, the other lead actresses and actors have been cast, and now, a familiar Friend and another male lead have joined the cast. If you're at all concerned that the Americans will have trouble mastering British accents, take heart: the movie will be set in New York now, rather than London. Find out everything else you need to know about this hot adaptation, and see the first pictures from the set after you check out the cast.

Lisa Kudrow as Monica
Kudrow will play a character named Monica who is an ex-coworker of Justin Theroux's character. (As far as we know, this is a character made up for the film).
Rebecca Ferguson as Anna
Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation star Rebecca Ferguson will play Anna, the new wife of Blunt's character's ex.
Haley Bennett as Megan
