Vera Farmiga Will Take a Trip With Liam Neeson in THE COMMUTER

The Liam Neeson action thriller The Commuter just gained a shadowy new passenger. Deadline reports that actress Vera Farmiga (The Departed, Up in the Air) has come on board the new movie, which follows Neeson as a businessman who somehow unwittingly gets caught up in a criminal conspiracy on his commute home. (Yes, this is a real movie.)

Farmiga is playing "a mysterious woman who boards a commuter train and proposes an enticing opportunity to Neeson's character — one that has dire consequences if he accepts." She'll reunite with her Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra, who's also worked with Neeson on movies like Unknown and Non-Stop. The actress is killing it right now on Bates Motel and on the big screen in The Conjuring 2, and I'm hoping she's the major villain in this Hitchcockian mystery because that'd be a fun type of role for her to sink her teeth into.
