Edgar Ramirez eyes The Girl on the Train

Edgar Ramirez

Edgar Ramirez is “deep” in negotiations to join DreamWorks’ “The Girl On The Train”, reports Deadline.

Tate Taylor is directing the adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ bestselling thriller about hard-drinking recent divorcee Rachel Wilson (Emily Blunt), who spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple that live in a house that her train passes every day. When Rachel hears that Megan (Haley Bennett), the wife, has gone missing, she tries to find out what happened.

Ramirez will play Dr. Kamal Abdric, a therapist involved in an affair with Megan, who becomes a suspect in her disappearance.

Rebecca Ferguson is also in the cast as Anna, the former mistress and now new wife of Rachel’s ex husband, Tom.
