Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” was published in 2012 with huge success, and two years later it was adapted into an equally successful movie. The Oscar-nominated film saw great performances from lead actors Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
“Gone Girl,” a postmodern mystery film directed by David Fincher, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and Carrie Coon in major roles. The movie follows the events that unfold in Nick Dunne’s (Affleck) life when his wife, Amy (Pike), mysteriously vanishes. Things turn for the worse when Nick becomes the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance.
“Gone Girl” is much-loved by fans for several reasons. Firstly, the story plot is intense and unforgettable due to its unanticipated climax. Secondly, both the book and movie offer a female protagonist who is complex and resourceful beyond measure. If you’re yet to watch it, we recommend that you do so. And finally, for...

Joe Wright’s “brutal” vision for the psychological thriller “The Woman in the Window” was shattered thanks to a drawn-out production, dismaying test screenings, multiple reshoots and re-edits, and an overall “long, protracted, frustrating experience.”
Wright opened up to Vulture about the adaptation of A.J. Finn’s novel of the same name, which premiered on Netflix in May 2021. Amy Adams stars as Dr. Anna Fox, an alcoholic, pill-guzzling recluse who witnesses the supposed murder of her neighbor, Jane Russell (Julianne Moore), only for Jane’s husband (Gary Oldman) to introduce Anna to another Jane Russell (Jennifer Jason Leigh).
What should’ve been awards-season fodder with Oscar nominee Wright at the helm was deemed a dud by most, and arguably marked the end of that version of the Hollywood studio system with the film rights changing hands over the course of production. The film eventually landed on Netflix, which bought the...

Once you get past the ridiculously long title, there's an underlying sincerity to Netflix's new dark-comedy thriller, "The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window." Inspired by A.J. Finn's 2018 novel, "The Woman in the Window," the dark-comedy series stars Kristen Bell as Anna Fox, a heartbroken mother and wife whose unhealthy coping mechanisms - namely, guzzling bottles of red wine and handfuls of prescription pills - ultimately put her at the center of a bizarre murder mystery.
Minutes into the first episode, we see Anna rush out of the house in her robe and slippers to drive her daughter, Elizabeth, to elementary school. Seconds later, the camera cuts to Anna, rumpled and dazed, staring at the school in disbelief as fellow parents look on at her with sympathy and sadness. Are all the judgmental stares a product of her rushed fashion decisions...

When life gives you new neighbors, you might just find yourself caught up in solving a gruesome murder mystery and accidentally making yourself a suspect. At least that is if you're Anna Fox from Netflix's "The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window." The dark comedy thriller is a well-crafted parody of the traditional murder-mystery genre, laced with subtle innuendos and plot twists so bizarre we could hardly keep up with what we were seeing. But at the center of the twisted series is a crime so elusive that it consumes Anna's entire life: the murder of her neighbor Lisa, aka Chastity.
Who Is Chastity in "The Woman in the Window"?
Anna first meets Lisa when she goes across the street to deliver a casserole to her neighbor Neil, a charming single dad. Before she's able to get to the front door,...

Joe Wright’s The Woman in the Window is not shy about its Hitchcockian influence. It’s there in both subtle and overt ways from the very first scene. During one of the film’s opening shots, the camera pans around Amy Adams’ ridiculously spacious New York City brownstone and passes a television screen that is inexplicably playing the ending to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) in slow-motion, with Jimmy Stewart wrestling against the grip of an out-of-frame Raymond Burr.
With a very similar premise to Rear Window—a slightly deranged New Yorker pries into the hidden lives of her neighbors—The Woman in the Window freely owns up to its influences and aspirations. Sadly, Rear Window, this is not. Which may explain why 20th Century Studios (back when it was called 20th Century Fox) delayed the movie for reshoots, and...

Twisty-turny thriller The Woman in the Window has arrived on Netflix with some distinct Hitchcockian vibes. It’s based on the bestselling novel by A. J. Finn and directed by Joe Wright, with Amy Adams as the titular woman.
This is classic high-concept crime drama in the style of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train while the premise is reminiscent of Rear Window. Adams plays Anna Fox, an agoraphobic woman who believes she has witnessed one of her neighbors being murdered in her own home, which she views from out her window. But something odd is going on here. The murdered woman – if she even exists, is not who Anna thinks she is. Is her tenant to blame? What’s going on with the 15-year-old who lives across the street? And why is his dad so aggressive?

The source material is a bestseller. The cast is A-list. The director is British and celebrated, the cinematographer is French and aces, and the screenwriter is a Pulitzer-winning playwright. There is, on the surface, no reason to think that The Woman in the Window, the long-anticipated and even-longer-delayed adaptation of A.J. Finn’s 2018 prestige beach read, would not be the sort of movie designed to spike pulses whether you see it in theaters or at home on Netflix, on a plane or on a train, on a boat or with a goat.

Production designer Kevin Thompson knew Joe Wright’s film adaptation of “The Woman in the Window” would be a darkly lit movie and noirish. In bringing the A.J. Finn novel to life, he would have to find a color palette that was specific to Amy Adams’ Anna Fox, who suffers from severe agoraphobia and watches the world from inside her home.
Thompson added pops of color in the house, such as a red couch and sheer orange curtains. “We did that to inform the audience that there was life at the windows and that she once had vibrancy in her life.”
The character’s 19th-century townhouse was built on a stage and broken down into five sets. At the start of the film, which debuts May 14 on Netflix, the camera moves through the home and its spaces. The largest parts of the set were the stoop, the first floor and...

Real-estate porn can work for a thriller — or against it. Sometimes, it’s part of a movie’s mystery and allure: the luxe nooks and crannies where bad vibes can hide. (See “Rosemary’s Baby” or “What Lies Beneath.”) But in “The Woman in the Window,” a movie that takes place entirely in one old dark house, the stately Harlem brownstone in which Anna Fox (Amy Adams) resides is a movie set of such gloomy palatial grandeur that the place threatens to overwhelm everything that happens inside it.
Anna is a nervous wreck of an agoraphobe who hasn’t left the house in 10 months. It’s her cocoon, her prison, her stately dream chamber. The high-ceilinged rooms are bathed in a shadowy glow, the muted colors left over from an aging renovation, with a winding wooden staircase that extends so far up it never seems to end. It’s a dwelling fit for the Magnificent Ambersons,...

Perhaps the most clever idea in this prestigious throwback to potboilers of yore, The Woman in the Window, is how it upends the bourgeois escapism of most thrillers. While following child psychologist Anna Fox (Amy Adams), who suffers from agoraphobia and keeps herself locked inside her home, we get to luxuriate in a spacious New York brownstone, only to have all the fun taken out via Anna’s lonely nights falling asleep in front of the television and wandering around dead, empty rooms.
Things change when she finds herself quickly entangled in the lives of her across-the-street neighbors. Working their way into her home is Ethan (Fred Hechinger), a sensitive 16-year-old boy towards whom, due to her profession, she feels a natural empathy. Ethan draws into Anna’s orbit his abusive father Alistair and even a solo encounter with the family’s doting wife and mother Jane (Julianne Moore), who...

When A.J. Finn — the pen name of one Dan Mallory, whose own story would make for a hell of a book — published his debut novel “The Woman in the Window” in early 2018, the “Rear Window” ripoff became an instant bestseller. It was easy to see why, thanks to its blend of (quite literal) Hitchcockian thrills with the kind of snappy chills found in books from other hot authors like Paula Hawkins, Ruth Ware, and Gillian Flynn. Finn may have cribbed plenty, but he also created an indelible character in the agoraphobic Dr. Anna Fox. She hasn’t left her house in nearly a year, instead opting to wile her time away drinking wine, watching old movies, learning French, and chatting with a close-knit coterie of other mentally ill people online. Then: a murder (maybe) just across the street, one only Anna saw, one only Anna can solve.

A B-movie effort from an A-list production team, Joe Wright’s “The Woman in the Window” buckles beneath its aspirations almost immediately.
Wright and screenwriter Tracy Letts have adapted Dan Mallory’s bestselling novel, which at one point was notorious for plagiarism accusations. (Mallory writes under the pseudonym A.J. Finn.) And the movie itself has been laboring under a shadow of a doubt since it was shot in 2018, which now feels like a lifetime ago.
After some retooling and shelf-sitting, it was acquired by Netflix and arrives with a single overarching ambition: to be considered Hitchcock-ian. Wright telegraphs this goal as clearly as he possibly can right from the start, his camera panning past an actual shot of Jimmy Stewart in “Rear Window” before sweeping up and down vertigo-inducing stairwells.
We’ve also got a Stewart-like protagonist in Dr. Anna Fox (Amy Adams). Anna is a psychologist and amateur photographer...

With the level of talent on display in front of and behind the camera of this high-concept thriller based on the best selling ‘grip-lit’ novel by A. J. Finn, it’s no wonder there was huge buzz when the film version of The Woman in the Window was first announced. But after an initial postponement for rewrites and reshoots, and a second due to Covid, The Woman in the Window arrives with slightly less fanfare than anticipated. The timing hasn’t helped the film, but that’s not the only problem with this twisty crime story that totally loses the plot by the end.

"I'm not hallucinating..." Netflix has revealed a brand new trailer for Joe Wright's mysterious crime thriller The Woman in the Window. Not to be confused with The Girl on the Train or the horror film The Witch in the Window. After years of delays, this was supposed to open last summer, but then the pandemic wiped that out, too. Fox sold it to Netflix, and now it's launching streaming this May after years of waiting. Anna Fox feels safest when she's watching the world from behind her window. Until the Russell family moves in across the street, and she witnesses something unimaginable. The question is... what really happened? Dun dun dun! Obviously there will be some big twists and turns in here. Based on the novel of the same name.

As long as there have been neighbors, there have been people peeking into their windows. And as long as there have been movies, there have been movies about those lookie-loos. Well-meaning voyeurs who see more than they bargain for — murder, it’s usually murder — have framed such features as Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “Rear Window” and knockoffs like the 1998 TV remake of the film and the 2007 suburban thriller “Disturbia.” Now the sub-genre is getting a new entry, thanks to Joe Wright’s paranoia-drenched “The Woman in the Window,” which hits Netflix next month.
Last summer, the streaming giant picked up the film, which was initially set up at Fox 2000 and shelved after Disney completed its acquisition of Fox.

The long-delayed “The Woman in the Window” will finally see the light of day this year, thanks to Netflix, which scooped the thriller from Disney-owned 20th Century Studios last year. Adapted from the novel by A.J. Finn, whose identity has sparked its own fascination courtesy of The New Yorker’s lurid 2019 profile, “The Woman in the Window” is directed by filmmaker Joe Wright, and it stars Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. The screenplay is written by playwright and actor Tracy Letts.
There has been much ado about the exhausting process of reshoots and test screenings endured by the movie, which Wright addressed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“There were some plot points that people found a bit confusing — I would say possibly too opaque maybe,” he said, adding that reshoots were necessary following test screenings that left audiences perplexed. “So we had to go back and clarify certain points,...

“The Woman in the Window” will finally see the light of day, as Netflix is reportedly in negotiations to acquire the Fox 2000 film that’s been sitting on the shelf since fall of 2019. Directed by Joe Wright, the “Rear Window”-esque thriller stars Amy Adams as an agoraphobic, alcoholic child psychologist who may or may not have seen an act of terrifying violence in her neighbor’s apartment. Deadline first reported the acquisition news. There’s no word yet on when the film will premiere, but a source confirmed to IndieWire that the acquisition is underway. IndieWire has also reached out to Netflix for comment.
While rumors have swirled of a streaming debut, the seamy adult thriller wouldn’t be appropriate for Disney+, even though Disney owns Fox 2000. Disney also owns Hulu, which was thought to be the eventual home for the film. Adapted from author Aj Finn’s 2018 potboiler,...

Exclusive: Netflix is finalizing an acquisition deal that will move The Woman in the Window out of Disney-owned 20th Century Studios and into a new window, as a global Netflix event film. The thriller, which stars Amy Adams and is directed by Joe Wright, is the last of the splashy book-based movie projects left behind by Elizabeth Gabler when Disney acquired Fox and abruptly shuttered her Fox 2000 division. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush produced.
They are finalizing the deal so it is unclear when Netflix will release the film, which is finished.
Pic is an adaptation of the A.J. Finn global bestseller. While the novel’s real writer, book editor Dan Mallory, got a lively New Yorker writeup over a propensity to invent or fabricate personal information, that has nothing to do with this change of venue.

Director Joe Wright, who is hot off the success of his incredible film Darkest Hour, has found another film project to take on. The film is called The Woman in the Window, which is based on the novel by A.J. Finn. The story has a very Hitchcockian kind of vibe to it, and it sounds like the perfect project for Wright to take on. Here's the story description:
It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening . . .
Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins...

The Woman in the Window is a thriller that borrows many of its cues from Rear Window.
Joe Wright has chosen his post-The Darkest Hour project. According to Variety, the British director will be stepping behind the camera for The Woman in the Window, an adaptation of A.J. Finn's thriller.
The Woman in the Window borrows its clues from Alfred Hitchcock classic Rear Window. In the novel, we follow the reclusive Dr. Anna Fox, who spends most of her time drinking wine and spying on the neighbors from her New York brownstone. When she sees something she shouldn't see, her world begins to crumble.
The book is being adapted for the screen by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts.
It's always noteworthy when director Wright opts for a non-period film. Though the man has been known to head behind the camera for non-period pieces, like action...
