‘Bullet Train’ Trailer – Brad Pitt Fights for His Life in ‘Deadpool 2’ Director’s Violent Action Thriller
Up next from director David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw) is the action-thriller Bullet Train, and the official trailer has pulled into the station today.
Brad Pitt stars in Bullet Train, “an original movie event” wherein “Five assassins aboard a fast moving bullet train find out their missions have something in common.”
This one is being billed as a “fun, delirious action-thriller,” with an ensemble of eclectic assassins and “set against the backdrop of a non-stop ride through modern-day Japan.”
The film is exclusively in theaters July 15. Watch the Bullet Train trailer below!
The Sony film is based on Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka, adapted by screenwriter Zak Olkewicz.
David Leitch, it’s interesting to note, has been a stunt double for Brad Pitt multiple times over the years, for films including Fight Club, Spy Game, Ocean’s Eleven, and Troy. Leitch got his start in Hollywood as a stunt performer, taking the leap into filmmaking as co-director on the first John Wick movie. That film was co-directed alongside fellow stuntman Chad Stahelski.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
