Rebecca Ferguson May Join Emily Blunt in 'The Girl on the Train'
Rebecca Ferguson's movie career is taking off like a locomotive.
After pulling a scene-stealing performance opposite Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation," she's negotiating a role in DreamWorks' "The Girl on the Train," Deadline reports.
The 31-year-old will play Anna, who finds herself in an affair with a married man in the Paula Hawkins novel. The big screen adaptation is directed by Tate Taylor.
Emily Blunt plays the narrator - a divorcee who fantasizes about a seemingly perfect couple who live in a house along her daily commute.
Ferguson will appear next in the biopic "Florence Foster Jenkins," a comedy that stars Meryl Streep in the titular role as a New York heiress who becomes a famous opera singer, despite her lack of talent. Hugh Grants stars as St. Clair Bayfield, her partner and manager, and Ferguson plays his suffering wife Kathleen Weatherly Bayfield.
