Brad Pitt in "Bullet Train"
Watch Next

Five assassins, one bullet train, one high-speed action comedy movie — as old as time itself, but as new as freshly cut grass.

From Deadpool 2 director David Leitch comes Bullet Train, the upcoming film that'll clearly delight fans of Tokyo's neon-lit streets, bucket hats, and Zazie Beetz (and who among us are not).

It's based on Kotaro Isaka's novel Maria Beetle, and follows a group of assassins whose individual missions lead them to the same bullet train between Tokyo and Morioka. Fight scenes ensue. It brings those '90s Speed vibes of high concept action back with a Bee Gees cover dominating the trailer.

The first peek shows Pitt valiantly trying to stay alive alongside co-stars Beetz, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Aaron Taylor-Johnson Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, and Benito A Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny).

Bullet Train lands in cinemas July 15.
