Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorBefore he was a director of spectacles like “Deadpool 2,” David Leitch did stunts for dozens of productions, often doubling for Brad Pitt in films including “Troy,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Fight Club.” Leitch puts his stunt background to good use in the action film “Bullet Train,” in cinemas now, in which he reteams with Pitt, this time as director.Based on a Japanese novel, the action comedy revolves around five assassins from around the globe who find themselves on a fast-moving train.
Snowpiercer” and the musical “On The Twentieth Century” are other fine, very different examples.) All types of people ride them, there are clever places to hide and, for long stretches, you’re trapped on board.“Bullet Train” is a fun flick, to be sure, reminiscent of director Guy Ritchie’s better crime comedies such as “The Gentlemen” with Hugh Grant. But, as the title suggests, it’s louder and faster.

Brad Pitt had some fun during a red-carpet appearance promoting his latest action film, "Bullet Train." Pitt, 58, wore a mint-green suit with a teal shirt underneath as he broke out in dance during the red-carpet appearance outside the Regency Village Theatre. Sony Pictures uploaded a slow-motion TikTok video of Pitt performing the ballet-style dance move in front of the "Bullet Train" cast.The movie star leaped into the air and spun around while his fellow co-stars applauded him. Brad Pitt brought out his dance moves during a red-carpet appearance of "Bullet Train" on Monday night.
Right from the start, you know exactly what you are in for with Bullet Train, a non-stop mix of violence, comedy, and more violence, Japanese-style, as filtered through the lens of director David Leitch, a stuntman turned filmmaker whose past credits of Atomic Blonde, Fast & Furious: Hobbs And Shaw, and Deadpool 2 pretty much prepare you for what to expect here.

His most notable appearance since has been in a comedic supporting role in The Lost City with Sandra Bullock who returns the favor here in a mostly voiceover role as his “handler,” therapist, self help guide, guru – whatever you want to call her – who is constantly guiding him through the messes he gets himself into.
Brad Pitt is quite the experience, just ask Joey King. The 23-year-old actress stars opposite Pitt in the high-octane action comedy, directed by David Leitch, about five assassins aboard the same bullet train out of Tokyo. While working with an icon left her feeling jittery about her first day, King says she was most surprised to find out how «amazingly normal» Pitt is in real life. «I was overwhelmed and a little intimidated when I first came on to this project,» King tells ET's Nischelle Turner at the film's Los Angeles premiere on Monday night.
Joey King has been busy planning a wedding.
