Brad Pitt appeared in Kyoto and onstage for the film "Bullet Train"!
The Hollywood adaptation of Kotaro Isaka's best-selling novel "Maria Beetle," directed by David Leitch, the mystery-action "Bullet Train" will open in theaters on Thursday, September 1, 2022.
On August 23, before the film's release, stars Brad Pitt (Ladybug), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Tangerine), Hiroyuki Sanada (Elder), Mashi Oka (Conductor), director David Leitch, and producer Kelly McCormick came to Kyoto to see the film!
Brad Pitt, who made his 14th visit to Japan in three years, along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Mashi Oka, provided a great service to fans at the TOHO Cinemas Nijo, where they signed autographs and took pictures together! Brad Pitt also took the stage to greet the audience and confessed that he had visited Kyoto by bullet train a few years ago. Seeing so many fans gathered, he smiled kindly and said, "I'm a Kyoto fan myself, so I'm very happy.
Director David Leach said, "Enjoy a world that is fun to watch, a love of Japan and Japanese culture, but also a slightly exaggerated escape from reality. I put in the pop and colorful sense of Japanese anime and manga". Asked about his participation in the film, Mashi Oka, who plays the conductor, said, "It was a lot of fun! The film is fun too, so please watch it".
The story takes place on a super fast train from Tokyo. Ladybug (Brad Pitt), the world's unluckiest hitman, undertakes a mission to steal a briefcase on the train and get off at the next station. It is supposed to be a simple task, but he is threatened by a group of unidentified assassins who come on board one after another, and even if he wants to get off, he cannot. Under the worst possible circumstances, the train heads for Kyoto, the final destination, with Ladybug, the assassins, and 10 other people on board.... The battle action of "Bullet Train" unfolds on a super high-speed train blasting along at 350 km/h. Be sure to catch it at the theater!
