Lots of prestige here between Wright, Letts and Rudin. Whoever gets the role will probably get an Oscar nomination.
I don’t think he’ll cast Kiera Knightley for this. That would be way too obvious and I don’t think she’d be a good fit.

Maybe Letts will lobby for his wife to get the part.

So essentially a slightly more highbrow Girl on the Train?

Maybe Letts will lobby for his wife to get the part. Unfortunately he may not have that kind of power, but that would be great, since Coon is fantastic, and I'd love to see her leading a film for a change.

Isn’t this a studio film? You guys seriously think Carrie Coon is even a remote possibility? I imagine the studio will push for a bigger name, probably an A-lister.

Really excited to see how well Wright does with a movie like this. His style seems tailor made for it.

Amy Adams In ‘The Woman In The Window’ For Joe Wright & Fox 2000
Amy Adams will play the lead in Fox 2000’s The Woman In The Window, the drama that Joe Wright will direct from a script by Tracy Letts. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush are producing.
Pic is an adaptation of the A.J. Finn’s best-selling novel, which has sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. million copies sold in the United States, the novel has additionally topped the best-seller charts in multiple countries and is currently published in 38 languages.
Adams will play Anna Fox, an agorophobic child psychologist who lives alone in a New York suburb. Afraid to leave home, she fills her day watching film noir classics and her interaction is mostly online. She spies on her neighbors like they do in the movies she loves. When she sees a crime take place in the house across the park, should she call the cops? She’s also got a problem with prescription drugs and wine consumption. It adds up to a Hitchcockian thriller.
Elizabeth Gabler and Marisa Paiva are overseeing the project for Fox 2000.
Amy Adams will next be seen starring in HBO’s Sharp Objects, on which she’s exec producer. She stars as Lynne Cheney in Adam’s McKay’s upcoming film about polarizing former Vice President Dick Cheney, with Christian Bale playing him. Adams is represented by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, WME and Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern.

Eh. Good for Adams, I guess. I just wish her acting was as interesting as her filmography.

She was wonderful in that, yes, but I still can't muster much excitement for her work, I'm not sure why. She's consistently good, sometimes even great, and Big Eyes is the only performance of hers that I've disliked-- and that's saying nothing of her stunning list of projects and collaborators. But even then, she's hardly ever the highlight of her projects, and over the years I've come to think her choices are a little too on the safe side, like she relucts to branch out and really flex her acting muscles. No one can fault her for signing up for anything she does, because like I said, her filmography is second to none in her age group (Wright, Letts and Rudin are a hell of a team, and anyone would jump at the chance to do this), but there's a similarity to most of her roles that makes her less exciting than she could be. I expect this to be another good performance that nevertheless breaks no new ground, and that to me is less enticing than some of the other casting possibilities that were raised in this very thread.

Having Amy as the lead really makes me excited. Between this and Sharp Objects, it seems like she's finally embracing her dark side and playing a wider range of characters. She did it very well in The Master, and as Wright is a good actors-director, I think she'll nail it again.

I am still feasibly anticipating this although A left field choice might've been more interesting perhaps Eva green or maybe Sienna Miller, Bryce Dallas Howard?. No.

Love Amy but Joe Wright ... Id say yay to both honestly I love Atonement, but everything else from Joe Wright I can't say I'm a big fan.

Wright is a hit-or-miss for me. I personally love "Atonement", "Hanna" and thought "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Soloist" were fine stuff but "Darkest Hour" and "Pan" were horrendous.
I'm still excited for the project though.

Amy Adams’s Dark New Project Could Be the Next Gone Girl The just-announced adaption of the best-seller The Woman in the Window, directed by Joe Wright, adapted by Tracy Letts, and produced by Scott Rudin, will be 2019’s hottest noir. Did Twentieth Century Fox just assemble its next Gone Girl? With the news Wednesday that Amy Adams is taking the lead role in the studio’s adaptation of the New York Times best-seller The Woman in the Window, Fox is cranking up the prestige factor for the hot project, which could be 2019’s answer to David Fincher’s massively successful Gillian Flynn adaptation—a film that nabbed $168 million in domestic box office and an Oscar nomination for its star, Rosamund Pike, four years ago. Based on the best-selling novel by book-editor-turned-author Daniel Mallory (writing under the pseudonym A.J. Finn), The Woman in the Window is yet another novel in the long line of unreliably narrated stories about flawed women whose best-laid plans are destroyed by years of disappointment and mismanaged aspirations. Thank novelist Flynn for beginning the trend, and a slew of others who followed suit (Paula Hawkins, Liane Moriarty, and many more). Mallory himself has readily admitted that without Gone Girl, there would have been no The Woman in the Window. But there is something about this particular noir story—which also finds strong antecedents in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window—that attracted top filmmaking talent. Fox 2000 Pictures, the Twentieth Century Fox unit best known for its sure-footed adaptations of best-selling novels (Fight Club, Hidden Figures), nabbed the book nearly two years prior to publication. Producer Scott Rudin (Lady Bird) joined soon after, and hired Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) to pen the script. (Sometime-actor Letts also played Saoirse Ronan’s dad in Lady Bird.) According to Fox 2000 president Elizabeth Gabler, the studio green-lit the film based on Letts’s first draft. That attracted Darkest Hour director Joe Wright to helm the film. Wright has a penchant for historical dramas (Pride and Prejudice, Anna Karenina, Atonement), and had been wanting to do a modern-day thriller set in New York. The only thing missing was a leading lady. Despite gobs of attention from eager agents around town, this Cinderella story would only be complete if Mallory—who initially hid his identity from his bosses at William Morrow publishing (the house that bought his manuscript)—could get the woman he envisioned to play the Merlot-imbibing, pill-popping agoraphobic child psychologist Dr. Anna Fox. That, of course, was Adams, whom we next will see go pitch-black this summer in the HBO series Sharp Objects, based on . . . you guessed it, Flynn’s first novel of the same name. Adams, according to Gabler, was also Wright’s first choice. “Her age is perfect, her vulnerability is perfect. You believe completely she could be a psychologist. Plus, she’s also very accessible to audiences,” said Gabler. “She’s done so many genres of film that her fan base is very diverse, both age-wise and by gender. It’s hard to find all that punch in one person.” Indeed, Adams’s dance card is full for the foreseeable future. After toggling the last few years between art-house fare (Arrival, Nocturnal Animals) and big-budget blockbusters as Lois Lane in DC Comics’ Justice League films, Adams is switching it up: after she plays damaged journalist Camille Preaker in Sharp Objects, she will inhabit the role of Lynne Cheney opposite her American Hustle co-star, Christian Bale, in Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney biopic, due out this fall. And in addition to The Woman in the Window, she is scheduled to reprise her role as the singing, dancing Giselle in the Disney sequel to Enchanted, Disenchanted, next year. This project, in particular, she finds special. In the book, Anna Fox, following a mysterious, traumatic event, becomes a recluse who takes to spying on her neighbors with a camera outfitted with a powerful zoom lens. In the course of her voyeurism, she may or may not have witnessed a brutal murder. Though Gabler acknowledges character similarities between it and Gone Girl, she believes The Woman in the Window is more similar to the Adrian Lyne movies of the 1980s and early aughts. “Anna Fox lives like people we know, in a brownstone in Harlem—a professional dealing with issues in the way many people deal with issues,” she added. “Look at Unfaithful: [Diane Lane’s character] was a married woman who lived in a house, who got up in the morning, went to restaurants with her friends, and did everything people normally do. This is not some weird, dark underbelly of a world we are living in. It feels commonplace, and then things happen that are extraordinary and then scary.” www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/04/amy-adams-the-woman-in-the-window-movie-book-adaptation-aj-finn-gone-girl-sharp-objects

Amy Adams’s Dark New Project Could Be the Next Gone Girl It will be the next Girl on the Train at best. The difference between The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl is that the Gone Girl is actually a good book, a great one even, with an iconic, unforgettable twist. The Woman in the Window, while an entertaining read, lacks any kind of depth and is a total Rear Window rip-off only deciding to shake things up in the finale that is incredibly contrived and lame. I'm also not sure if the twists in the book will translate well into a film... The main character's trauma comes from a car accident! How original! The main character's family was dead all along! She envisioned them the whole time... Not only is this contrived as hell but is gonna be extremely dumb on screen, I think. The villain turns out to be the meek and innocent 15 year old neighbor whose a psychotic mastermind genius able to trick everyone blablabla I really want this to be good, but I'll eat my shoe if this ends up being the next Gone Girl. The Simpson's Rear Window spoof is a lot better than this.

The Simpson's Rear Window spoof is a lot better than this. Gotta agree with that. Gone Girl was my favorite flick from 2014, but then it started a trend of female-led thrillers that try to mimic it but miss completely the point, relying on crazy murderous plot twists and "oh so dark" personas. What made Gone Girl iconic was how timely the story was, how it dealt with real-world questions about relationships. The only of the wannabes that is actually as good as the original is Big Little Lies. Hope this one can be at least interesting and fun to watch.
