The action blockbuster “Bullet Train,” a Hollywood adaptation of Kotaro Isaka’s bestselling novel “Maria Beetle” starring Brad Pitt and directed by David Leitch of “Deadpool 2” will open in Japanese theaters on Thursday, September 1 (it will be released in the U.S. on August 5)!
At the world premiere, there was plenty of space to show your love for Japan!
A world premiere was held in Los Angeles, U.S.A., in anticipation of the film’s U.S. release! A pink carpet, instead of a red carpet, was dyed in the color of the mascot character “Momo Mon” who appears in the film! Along the carpet, there were drink vending machines, Gacha-gacha machines, vinyl umbrella vending machines, automatic train ticket gates, coin lockers, train station stores, and even a standing udon shop. It was like being on a train platform somewhere in Japan, a space that evoked love for Japan, the setting of the film.
The world premiere was attended by Brad Pitt as Ladybug, director David Leitch, Hiroyuki Sanada as Elder, a master swordsman who likes to talk about “destiny,” and Aaron Taylor, who played Tangerine and Lemon in the hit duo. Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King as the cunning and devilish schoolgirl Prince, and Benito A. Martinez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny as Mexico’s #1 assassin Wolf, who has a grudge against Ladybug for some reason, are just a few of the unique assassins in the cast!
Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, Brad Pitt appeared in a bright light green jacket and cool baggy pants. Brad Pitt, wearing a bright light green jacket and cool baggy pants, appeared in front of the enthusiastic crowd. I laughed a lot when I read the script, and we laughed a lot on set. It’s just perfect that we can release the film now, in the summer, and everyone can come out and gather together. He complimented director David Leitch, whom he met in one of his best-known films, “Fight Club,” and who used to be his stuntman, saying, “Now he’s a director, and he has his own way of expressing himself. We’re big fans. We are big fans. I think he’s like Buster Keaton.” “I’ve never had the pleasure of acting like him before, so it was a lot of fun,” he said, recalling his memories of that time. When asked about his recently announced visit to Japan, he replied, “I can’t wait to go to Japan! I hope you like the film. I hope you like the movie, it’s very interesting! I hope you like the movie. It’s very interesting!
Hiroyuki Sanada, who has been active in Hollywood, also made an appearance! Regarding appearing in a film based on a Japanese novel, he said, “As a Japanese, I am very happy that Mr. Isaka’s novel is being made into a movie that will be released worldwide, and I am very honored to be able to participate in it. He and Director Leach have built a trusting relationship over the years, so all the staff members could feel that they were enjoying making the film together. It was very helpful that we were able to work as a good team from the beginning, and I enjoyed it.
Sanada, who is also one of Japan’s proud action stars, said that the atmosphere in this film was “like a group of movie kids having fun (laughs) and building a castle in the sandbox,” as the cast and crew bounced ideas off each other. It was like a group of movie kids getting together and having fun building a castle in a sandbox,” he said. It was a lot of fun.” Looking back happily, he said to his Japanese fans, “Whether you have read the original work or not, I think you will enjoy it in a different way. I hope you will immerse yourself in the unique worldview of the film and enjoy it as if you were on the bullet train going from Tokyo to Kyoto, as if you were at a live performance with us. This is a film that we hope you will see in the cinema while taking precautions against infection. Please enjoy it! I hope you will enjoy it!
Joey King appeared in an elegant long white dress like a mermaid. Hello, Japan! I am so happy to be able to present this film to you. I had so much fun shooting it! I once took the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto, just like in the movie. It was a wonderful experience. I can’t wait for my fans to see this movie!” he said, sending a message to his Japanese fans. Director David Leitch revealed the difficulties of the current era, saying that he initially faced difficulties in production because he could not go to Japan due to Corona, even though the film is set in Japan, but at the same time, he said, “(The film) is also an exaggerated version of the world, so the visual sets are It was a very freeing (and liberating) experience for me as an artist to create it,” and as a result, he expressed confidence that “creating an exaggerated world like in the comic book made the film better. Also making an appearance were Mashi Oka as the crew member of the super high-speed train and the mascot character Momo-mon. It was a gorgeous world premiere befitting the summer’s biggest blockbuster.
