In 'Bullet Train', Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails.  

“We’re excited at how it turned out. You feel like you’re in Tokyo, on a train, and you’re moving through this crazy world, and it’s a really fun ride.”

"Rip-roaring flair"


1,015 shots were delivered using virtual production and VFX, using LED wall technology and virtual content to recreate Tokyo, while Japan was in the throes of lockdown and international travel.
