'Bullet Train': Why Brad Pitt and David Leitch's Assassin Movie Is Such a Hot Property

McCormick also explained how the action in Bullet Train differs from Leitch’s past work:

One of the things that was fun about the action on this is the confined space, in that we're basically on a bullet train for the whole picture. So, how do you... What is creative? What is original? What is fresh, with regards to that? And, that's been a really fun challenge for David, as well as the action team headed by 2nd unit director Greg Rementer.


Also, some folks may not know that before Leitch was a massively in-demand director, he was Brad Pitt’s stunt double (hence Pitt’s surprise cameo in Deadpool 2). McCormick talked about how the dynamic has shifted now that Leitch is directing Pitt in an action movie and how the actor trained for the role:

To see them together now, you can kind of get hints of what that was, but it's obviously completely different, because the dynamic is a little bit different. They are extraordinary partners in my opinion and are having a blast. Brad is a generous actor and a good human being. In my opinion, this is a Brad performance that we've never seen him do before. It's light, it's fun, it's crazy, and he's having a ball, I think. And, we are too…He trained a lot. And, part of it, I think is because he's working for the guy who used to take the punches for him, so he has something to prove. But, even in COVID, early on, before we were shooting, we were going to his house, masking up, getting our tests, and getting him in a fighting shape. It was... He's been very dedicated to the project.
 
Bad Bunny Talks New Music, 'Gringo Grammy' Win & More in Latest Cover Story

The artist is hitting the gas on more music. Among them is a song he wrote for the Fast and Furious franchise. But that’s not all—the Latin superstar is adding acting to his resume, too. The singer will join Brad Pitt’s latest project, Bullet Train. The movie also stars Sandra Bullock and is about 5 assassins with a common goal. As far as his character, Bad Bunny said, “It’s about a boy who lost his family at a very young age. He dedicated his life to the streets, to be a murderer. So, an aggressive guy who has suffered a lot.” As far as working with Pitt, he said “I was back there on the set, and [said], ‘This can’t be true.’”
 
'Bullet Train' First Look: Brad Pitt, Bad Bunny Slap Each Other Around - Variety

Bullet Train” went off with a bang at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday.

The first-ever footage from the Brad Pitt action thriller was screened at the annual convention of movie theater owners during an opening night presentation from Sony Pictures.

Directed by “Atomic Blonde” helmer David Leitch, the movie follows five assassins on a high-speed train who realize their assigned targets are related. The footage boasts the aesthetic we’ve come to expect from Leitch: high-contrast glamour with bareknuckle violence.

Anyone thinking this was Pitt’s attempt to slip into a Tom Ford suit and brandish a gun like a typical leading man, rest easy. His character, listed only as “Ladybug,” is a drifter rocking hiking boots and a faded tweed coat on Leitch’s gorgeous and claustrophobic train.

While the ensemble boasts stars like Sandra Bullock, the studio chose to bless the exhibitors with a clip of Pitt and global hip-hop star Bad Bunny. In his first substantive feature film role, the artist also known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is a formidable opponent for Pitt.

Sporting a white pinstripe suit, killer boots and an edge weapon, Bunny and Pitt slap each other around a luxury cabin on the speeding train. It’s all fun and tussling over a briefcase until someone gets stabbed. The footage also included actor Hiroyuki Sanada as an ominous passenger.
 
They got Bad Bunny in this? wild.
 
Never heard of him prior to WM 37.
 
We've gotten trailere for the big movies in February (Ambulance/Uncharted) and The Batman for March, this is out in April so hopefully we get a trailer soon.
