Brad Pitt to Star As Hitman Named Ladybug in ‘Bullet Train’

Following his Oscar-winning turn in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, Brad Pitt is set to star in Bullet Train for director David Leitch.

Zak Olkewicz wrote the script, based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka.

In the story, five assassins find themselves on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between. They discover their missions are linked to one another.

The question becomes, who will make it off the train alive and what awaits them at the terminal station?

Pitt will play one of the assassins who goes by the name Ladybug. Filming for Bullet Train is due to begin this autumn. (
