Bullet Train’s Director & Producer Talk Brad Pitt, New Technology, IMAX, and More in 45-Minute Q&A
Right before Bullet Train opened in theaters and IMAX, Collider held a special screening at IMAX HQ in Los Angeles. While getting to see the movie before it was in theaters was cool, the best part was after the movie ended, director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick sat down with me for an extended Q&A to break down the making of the film.
During the fun and informative conversation, they revealed why they made Bullet Train after Hobbs & Shaw, Leitch’s history of being Brad Pitt’s stunt double, working with Pitt and Bad Bunny, the new technology used on the film, why they love IMAX and if they’ll use it on their next film, The Fall Guy, with Ryan Gosling, how they pulled off filming most of the movie on a Sony soundstage in Culver City, and how they stage action. In addition, they talked about future 87North projects and so much more it’d be impossible to list it all here.
If you haven’t seen the trailers, Bullet Train was adapted from the Japanese mystery-fiction book Bullet Train written by Kōtarō Isaka, the Japanese best-selling and award-winning novelist. Just like the novel, the movie takes place in Japan on the titular bullet train on a trip from Tokyo to Morioka. On the train there are a number of assassins whose assignments are very much interconnected, though they don’t know this until things start to go haywire when the assassins start trying to kill each other.
Loaded with inventive action set pieces, a script that will keep you guessing, and fantastic performances from the entire cast, Bullet Train is absolutely worth seeing in a movie theater. The film stars Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Hiroyuki Sanada, Masi Oka, Sandra Bullock, and Benito A Martínez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny.
Trust me, if you’re curious how Bullet Train was made, or just want to hear some cool behind-the-scenes stories, you should push play on the video above.
