One of the bestselling books of the year is being turned into a film with the help of The Help director Tate Taylor.

Dream Works has tapped Taylor to helm the book to film adaptation of The Girl on the Train.

The book, penned by debut novelist Paula Hawkins, hit store shelves in January. Since then, over 2 million copies have been sold. And for good reason! The book is a critical success.

The Girl on the Train has drawn comparisons to Gillian Flynn’s hit thriller Gone Girl — the book follows an everyday woman who decides to investigate the disappearance of a woman she would see from her daily train commute. The story is told from the perspective of the victim as well as the commuter named Rachel.

Taylor’s adaptation of The Help was a big hit last year, and DreamWorks appears interested in using his talents to successfully adapt another popular novel. “With The Help, Tate deftly adapted a beloved novel into a compelling film that stayed true to its origin while pleasing fans and moviegoers alike,” said Holly Bario, President of Production at DreamWorks Studios, in a press release. “We are excited to have Tate back at DreamWorks and thrilled that he’s joining us on this journey as we bring another bestseller to theaters.”

The Girl on the Train’s script is currently being penned by Erin Cressida Wilson (Secretary). The studio hasn’t set a release date for the film.
