Bullet Train (Brad Pitt)

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is such an underrated actor. He looks great in this. I'm looking forward to his Kraven, and have no problem saying that I hope EON consider him for the next James Bond because I think he'd do a great job.
 
If EON signs ATJ for James Bond and he has to drop out of that Kraven movie, resulting in it being put in turnaround for the foreseeable future and ultimately never seeing the light of day, then I wholeheartedly support the idea of ATJ being the next Bond.
 
I feel like I remember seeing brief clips for this at CinemaCon.
 
You know, this looked entertaining enough that I was probably going to check it out. But now, I kind of need to know what is in the movie that makes Sony confident enough to greenlight a movie over a Triple Z level comics character.

Yeah, especially since (just going by the trailer) I’m guessing Mr. Bunny is only in this movie for like 5 minutes.
 
Brian Tyree Henry Got Really Into Thomas The Tank Engine For David Leitch’s Bullet Train – Exclusive


You’d be forgiven for thinking that David Leitch’s Bullet Train – a film about a Japanese ‘Shinkansen’, aka a high-speed railway train, filled with assassins all trying to retrieve the same briefcase – might be a gritty, gory action-fest. But while Leitch doesn’t tend to hold back when it comes to bringing the pain, his latest also looks to be a bright, tonally-playful thrill-ride, throwing as many jokes out there as its characters do punches, populated by a varied bunch of colourful characters. Case in point: Brian Tyree Henry’s blonde-haired British assassin Lemon (part of a duo with Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Tangerine), who isn’t just a train fanatic – he’s a total Thomas The Tank Engine-head.

“He knows how to tell his marks based on certain characteristics of Thomas The Tank Engine,” Henry tells Empire in our new Summer Preview issue. “He can tell if there’s somebody that’s reliable, something that needs to be killed right away, or somebody that is actually up to little schemes.” Lemon can get all that, from a kid’s TV show about an anthropomorphic locomotive engine? We’re suddenly seeing Thomas in a new, more sinister light.

Henry went all in on the character quirk, dedicating time to watching numerous episodes, and even bringing that banger of a theme song to set during shooting. “I would find myself whistling the Thomas The Tank Enginetune in-between takes,” Henry recalls. “One time I pulled my phone out to check something and Aaron was like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ I told him I really need to understand the difference between a diesel and autonomous engine.”

As an aside, when we saw the trailer to this movie in theaters, my wife's reaction was "Is Brad Pitt basically playing the same character as in The Lost City? Because this totally looks like the same character." And I have to say, she's right.
