In what would mark the first time top Hollywood stars Sandra Bullock is joining Brad Pitt in the Sony action flick Bullet Train. Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Masi Oka and Andrew Koji are also on board.
Hobbs & Shaw helmer David Leitch will direct and also supervise the script, which will be written by Zak Olkewicz.
The film is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by bestselling author Kotaro Isaka. Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada of CTB Inc., who represent Isaka and the IP, are executive producers on the project.
Even though Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt have been in the movie business for decades and rose to prominence in the early 90s, the two have never worked together.
Bullet Train will be the first feature film in which they will be seen sharing space on the screen. The only tie between the two Oscar-winning actors is Ocean’s Eleven female spin-off, Ocean’s Eight starring Sandra Bullock, which was actually a franchise which Brad Pitt helped launch when he starred in the Ocean’s Eleven remake in 2001.
