The First Trailer For Brad Pitt's Assassin Movie 'Bullet Train' Is AWESOME
Five assassins find themselves on a Japanese bullet train, realizing that their individual assignments are all interconnected.
This movie has been in a the works for a while and I have been all about it since the word go. Let me break down why I'm excited for this movie and you should be too.
1. It's directed by David Leitch(John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2) and produced by Antoine Fuqua(Training Day, Shooter, The Equalizer). That is an insanely good combination of action movie minds!
2. The cast is obviously insane, and well past the main players. Pitt and Bullock are both monster names, but look at the rest of these guys. Andrew Koji is an incredibly badass action actor and has been killing it in 'Warrior'
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an incredibly physical actor that has plenty of comedic chops. Zazie Beetz recently crushed it as Domino in Leitch's 'Deadpool 2', Karen Fukuhara has been killing it in 'The Boys', Brian Tyree Henry has crushed every project he has been a part of, Michael Shannon is menacing as all hell, the list goes on and on! I didn't even mention how they got the dude from 'Heroes' in what I assume is his first role in like 15 years.
P.S. Gaga dropped out and is not in the movie
3. The source material is apparently awesome. This is based on the Japanese novel 'Maria Beetle', which, surprise, I have not read. But the reviews for it are really good. When this project was first announced, some people that had read the novel sang it's praises and were really hyped up about it.
I think that, at best, we get something that 'Hotel Artemis' should have been. At worst, it will be an entertaining action movie with plenty of insane stunt work. It's already been reported that Pitt did most of his own stunts which I love to see.
