Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock and their mysterious looks aboard a Bullet Train

Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt are already sharing the screen in the new preview of Bullet Train, an action-comedy directed by David Leitch that Sony Pictures Entertainment will premiere here as Bullet Train, at the beginning of August. The director has just released three great tanks that combine (a lot of) action and humor: Deadpool 2, the spinoff of Fast and Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, and the very successful Nobody, with Bob Odenkirk.

In the new trailer for Bullet Train, Bullock shows his face for the first time as Maria Beetle, one of the assassins for hire that make up the plot.

The story revolves around a trip in which five dangerous criminals will meet, all on the same high-speed train in Japan. There, the objectives of each one will begin to mix and this will generate a bloody fight between all the characters. However, as everyone progresses on their missions, they will discover that all cases have one link in common.

Retrieving a special briefcase aboard the train from Tokyo to Kyoto will be the goal of Ladybug, the character played by Brad Pitt, an unlucky murderer determined to do his job peacefully after various plans go awry.

Bullet Train is based on an adaptation of the book by Japanese author Kōtarō Isaka and features an all-star cast including Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Shannon, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, and the hit Bad Bunny singer.

In the trailer released in the last few hours, several scenes full of action -and comedy- are seen, as well as many chase sequences with Pitt in the lead. As a novelty, images of Bullock also appear for the first time which allows us to appreciate how the famous actress will look in the new fiction.

Although Pitt and Bullock have been at the top of the industry since the early 1990s, they had never worked together on a film until this year. After the recent premiere of The Lost City, in which Bullock was mostly accompanied by Channing Tatum, both actors will now meet again in the imminent Bullet Train.

Among the latest roles faced by the actress, her leading roles in the Netflix thriller Bird Box (2018) and the female spin-off of Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Eight, stand out, a franchise that Pitt helped launch when she starred in the remake of Ocean’s Elevate two decades ago.

The production of the film began last year in Los Angeles and although there was a case of Covid-19 on the set in December, it was possible to continue working without interruptions and taking the measures of the case, as reported at the time by the specialized media Variety.
