Under Bario’s watch, Girl on a Train was the debut picture for Amblin Partners, which was created in December 2015 by Spielberg and Participant Media founder Jeff Skoll, with Universal as distribution partner. “It was not what I expected,” cautions Bario, who could read only sections of the book as it was still being written, and was eager to find out what happened next.“They wouldn’t tell me the end, but I still wanted to do it and then when I got the whole book I was like ‘Oh, wow!’” And again and again in a story that divulges itself so unhurriedly that the motivation and modus operandi of even seemingly minor characters create thrilling moments of revelation. But Hendricks and Pekkanen flip expectations when they reveal exactly why Vanessa wants to stop the wedding. When Vanessa learns that Richard is newly engaged to a woman she thinks of as her “replacement,” it seems like the novel is headed straight for bunny-on-the-stove territory. The Wife Between Us tells the tale of Vanessa, whose hot, hedge-fund husband Richard abandons their marriage, spinning her into wine-soused financial straits. ![]() “Since I was living Girl on the Train at that moment, I was already sort of fever-dreaming - thinking about unreliable narrators and women characters who aren’t great to each other or to themselves,” she adds. Bario was ripe for reading a female-centered thriller. ![]()
