    You might have seen the sneaky teaser for new Brad Pitt-starring action thriller ‘Bullet Train’, which purported to be a commercial for Japanese train service Nippon Speed Line. The full trailer has now arrived, which is much more a traditional promo for the movie.

    Yes, while the teaser gave itself away earlier thanks to Pitt’s voice-over and his bruised appearance late on, the new trailer offers no such trickery. We’re introduced to his character, an assassin who seems to be tired of the killer life.

    In contact with Sandra Bullock’s Maria Beetle, who appears to be his handler, Pitt’s Ladybug is complaining that every time he goes to work, someone dies. Dispatched on what would seem to be a routine, relatively harmless mission to pick up an important briefcase on a Bullet Train in Japan, he hopes for a quieter time of things.

    Unbeknownst to him, the deadly duo Tangerine and Lemon are also after the very same suitcase, and they are not the only dangerous passengers onboard.

    Satoshi, “the Prince,” with the looks of an innocent school child and the mind of a viciously cunning psychopath, is also in the mix and has history with some of the others. Risk fuels him as does a good philosophical debate… like, is killing really wrong? Chasing the Prince is another assassin with a score to settle for the time the Prince casually pushed a young boy off of a roof, leaving him comatose.

    When the five assassins discover they are all on the same train, they realize their missions are not as unrelated as they first appear.

    Cue fists flying, swords swinging and Pitt nailing Aaron Tylor-Johnson with a bottle of fizzy water.

    Taylor-Johnson plays Tangerine and Brian Tyree Henry is Lemon. Then there’s Joey King, who seems to be a gender-swapped Prince, and Logan Lerman, Zazie Beetz, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Masi Oka, Bad Bunny and Andrew Koji are all in the ensemble. Oh, and not forgetting Bullock (who replaced Lady Gaga).

    With David Leitch, the stuntman-turned-filmmaker who kickstarted his directing career with ‘John Wick’ and has since made movies including ‘Atomic Blonde’ and ‘Deadpool 2’ in charge here, the movie looks stylish and slyly funny, especially that moment in the quiet car. Plus, the trailer is scored to a Japanese cover of “Staying Alive,” which offers a big nod to the tone that the director’s setting here.

    And, because this is Leitch we’re talking about, you can naturally expect a lot of inventive action within the cramped confines of the train, as his 87 Eleven stunt team goes to work finding new ways to create chaos.

    Pitt’s never one to shy away from throwing himself into action (he’ll be in even spoofier form – and once again working with Sandra Bullock – in ‘The Lost City’, due on March 25), but this looks like another level for him.

    ‘Bullet Train’ will pull into theaters on July 15. The big question is, who will survive and what will be left of them? Which is not something you usually hear on an Amtrak train.

  • Brad Pitt in Viral ‘Bullet Train’ Ad

    When is a commercial for a relaxed-looking transportation service not a commercial for a relaxed-looking transportation service? When it’s very clearly also a viral marketing video for new action thriller ‘Bullet Train.’

    And how do we know this? Why don’t we think this is simply Brad Pitt in one of those famous commercials featuring a Hollywood star pitching a product to Asian audiences they hope Western eyes never see? Because A) Pitt is the star of ‘Bullet Train’ and B) it’s about a Bullet Train, which is about a big a clue as you could possibly ask for.

    Yes, while this purports to promise a smooth ride and a comfortable journey, the quick glimpse at Pitt’s battered face near the end is a real giveaway. Plus, you can imagine that fake train company Nippon Speed Line is the carrier on whose train major mayhem will break out.

    ‘Bullet Train’, which is on track to arrive this summer via Sony, has a script from ‘Fear Street Part 2’ writer Zak Olkewicz, who adapts Kôtarô Isaka’s novel ‘Maria Beetle’. While the movie has yet to post an official synopsis, we can intuit some of what may make it to screen based on the book’s plot description.

    Nanao, nicknamed Lady Bird — the self-proclaimed “unluckiest assassin in the world” — boards a bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with one simple task: grab a suitcase and get off at the next stop. Unbeknownst to him, the deadly duo Tangerine and Lemon are also after the very same suitcase, and they are not the only dangerous passengers onboard.

    Satoshi, “the Prince,” with the looks of an innocent schoolboy and the mind of a viciously cunning psychopath, is also in the mix and has history with some of the others. Risk fuels him as does a good philosophical debate… like, is killing really wrong? Chasing the Prince is another assassin with a score to settle for the time the Prince casually pushed a young boy off of a roof, leaving him comatose.

    When the five assassins discover they are all on the same train, they realize their missions are not as unrelated as they first appear.

    Pitt’s character in the film is named Ladybird, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Tangerine and Brian Tyree Henry is Lemon. Then there’s Joey King, who seems to be a gender-swapped Prince, and while they don’t have official character names yet, Logan Lerman, Zazie Beetz, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Masi Oka and Andrew Koji are all in the ensemble. Oh, and not forgetting Sandra Bullock (who replaced Lady Gaga), as Maria Beetle.

    David Leitch, the stuntman-turned-filmmaker, has a reputation for inventive action, and we can’t wait to see how he pulled off the set-pieces in the tight confines of a train carriage while also observing pandemic protocols. And was the craft service in the restaurant car? Enquiring minds and all that.

    The March 2nd date suggests the trailer is due next Wednesday. Assuming there are no problems with the route, ‘Bullet Train’ should chug into theaters on July 15. Best get your tickets in order.

  • Adrien Brody Talks ‘Clean’

    Opening in theaters, on digital rental, and VOD beginning January 28th is ‘Clean,’ from director Paul Solet. The film stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody (‘The Pianist’), who also co-wrote the screenplay with Solet, created the music for the movie, and served as producer.

    The film centers on Clean (Brody), a recovering alcoholic and former criminal who is now living a simple life as a garbageman after the death of his daughter. He soon befriends a young girl named Dianda (Chandler DuPont) and after helping her out of a dangerous situation, gets put in the crosshairs of local mobster, Michael (Glenn Fleshler). With Michael out for revenge, Clean has no choice but to protect himself and fight back.

    In addition to Brody, DuPont and Fleshler, the cast also includes Mykelti Williamson (‘Forest Gump’) and RZA (‘Nobody’).

    Moviefone recently had the opportunity to speak with Oscar-winner Adrien Brody about his new movie, ‘Clean.’ You can read the full interview below or watch it in the video player above.

    Moviefone: To begin with, you are not only acting in ‘Clean’, but you are also a producer, you co-wrote the screenplay, and created the music for the movie.

    What was it about this particular story that made you so passionate about this project and what was it like having the opportunity to express yourself artistically in ways that you hadn’t before?

    Adrien Brody: I mean, that was part of the impetus to make it. I had been looking to find a role somewhat within this vein for forever. I love films where the hero of the film is so deeply flawed and tragic, and in spite of all of those factors, that some of them are even unlikable qualities, you root for him. That he or she is able to surmount that and do a heroic act.

    I think those are the real heroes in life anyway, and sometimes characters are depicted in too clean of a heroic manner and they need a bit of grit, and they need a bit of frailty within them to overcome that. It’s a genre of films that I’ve always loved, and I wanted to bring some nuance to the character within that genre.

    It’s something that I know I can do well, to play the physicality that often hasn’t been afforded to me. I just wanted to tell a story that also felt that it honored and spoke to a lot of what I am troubled with in this great nation and a lot of the frustration and anger that I feel within that ‘Clean’ represents.

    I think it’s a collective feeling that we all have of a sense of powerlessness against oppressive forces. The ability of pharmaceutical giants to create mass addiction that then they’ll reign in. Then all these people turn to street drugs because they can’t afford to get their fix that they’ve been fed.

    There’s this undercurrent of so much hardship that people and young people, especially in impoverished areas must escape from in order to have a life ahead. So, I wanted that in the scope of an entertaining film, not to shy away from them, if that makes sense.

    Then the music. The music is another part of that. That is also deeply influenced by my life growing up in Queens, New York, through the birth of hip hop and through everything that feels right for the tone. It felt like a character within the movie. So, that was an afterthought, I didn’t set out to take on even more responsibility. It just felt like it was my responsibility to share that and to help bring more emotional complexity to the overall picture.

    MF: Finally, can you talk about collaborating with director Paul Solet both on the screenplay and as well during production?

    AB: Paul’s wonderful. We had worked in the past on ‘Bullet Head.’ I pitched Paul the idea of doing this together and really asking his help. Because I didn’t really have the confidence to write a screenplay on my own. I trusted his sensibilities and he brought so many interesting qualities to this that were truthful to him as well. It was a very interesting process and I greatly appreciate all that he’s brought to this.

  • ‘Den of Thieves’ Sequel to Shoot This Year

    Gerard Butler fans, prepare to celebrate. Because the sequel to one of his movies is preparing to shoot this spring.

    As announced by Deadline, ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’ is on track to start filming in Serbia and France in the late spring, with writer/director Christian Gudegast back behind the camera.

    In case you somehow missed the 2018 action thriller, here are the basics: Buter plays Nick O’Brien, the hard-drinking leader of the Regulators, an elite unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Ray Merrimen (‘Orange is the new Black’s Pablo Schreiber), meanwhile is the recently paroled leader of the Outlaws, a gang of ex-military men who use their expertise and tactical skills to evade the law. O’Brien, Merrimen and their crews soon find themselves on a direct collision course as the criminals hatch an elaborate plan for a seemingly impossible heist – the city’s Federal Reserve Bank.

    The movie also featured O’Shea Jackson Jr. as Donnie Wilson, the ace driver of the thief team, 50 Cent as Enson Levoux, a former Marine who also aids Merriman, while Meadow Williams played Holly, who is in relationship with Merriman.

    On the law enforcement side, we have Maurice Compote as Detective Benny “Borracho” Magalon, Brian Van Holt as Detective Murph Connors and Mo McRae as Detective Gus Henderson, who all work on “Big” Nick’s team.

    In a twist in the style of ‘The Usual Suspects’, it’s revealed that Donnie is the actual mastermind behind the heist, and he escapes with the loot to Europe where he’s seen working at a bar while planning his next heist.

    ‘Pantera’ picks up with Big Nick on the hunt in Europe for Donnie, who is embroiled in the dangerous world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia as they plot a massive heist of the world’s biggest diamond exchange.

    O’Shea Jackson Jr. is officially back on board, as is Williams, while ‘After’s Swen Temmel is among the new faces joining for this one. The sequel’s rights are up for grabs at the European Film Market, and while STX distributed the original in the States, other companies are looking to take on the sequel.

    According to Deadline, Gudegast has been doing some deep dive research for the story, spending time with both criminals and the investigators who hunt them down. So, if you ever wondered whether the first film was backed up by knowledge, and wasn’t just your average crime thriller, consider yourself up to date!

    Given that Gudegast shepherded the original film through roughly 14 years of development, it must be a relief that the sequel is coming together relatively swiftly – even if the pandemic did cause an extra delay.

    Before the sequel arrives, though, Butler has several movies awaiting release, including action thriller ‘The Plane’ and ‘Kandahar’, which finds him working again with ‘Angel Has Fallen’ and ‘Greenland’ director Ric Roman Waugh.

  • ‘American Assassin’ Star Dylan O’Brien Reveals His New Philosophy for Stunts

    Dylan O’Brien is going through some pretty seismic career shifts right now.

    His beloved MTV series “Teen Wolf” is coming to an end on September 24, after six highly rated seasons (he played Stiles, the character originated by Jerry Levine in the original film). And early next year, “The Maze Runner” trilogy closes with “The Death Cure,” a movie that was pushed back after O’Brien suffered a horrifying injury on set (more on that in a minute).

    But, as the saying goes, with every door that closes another one opens, and this week O’Brien headlines another potential franchise in “American Assassin.” Based on the series of Vince Flynn novels that center around spy Mitch Rapp, this film shows us the origin of the character, as he goes from a wounded young man to someone willing to face various terrorist threats head on.

    At a recent press day for the film, we got to sit down with O’Brien to talk about the injury, about “Teen Wolf” and “Maze Runner” wrapping up, and about what he learned from his “American Assassin” costar Michael Keaton.

    Moviefone: Along with “The Maze Runner,” this is your second film based on a hugely popular book series.

    O’Brien: Yep. I keep doing them.

    Is there any hesitation on your end before you sign on?

    No. Not for that reason. For me, the decision always comes down to if I want to dive into this role, if I want to be the guy to tell this story, if I feel that the script and story are strong, if I feel like the filmmaker is strong. It’s everything but, really. But then you start doing press and realize, wow, I hope people like this.

    The other thing, of course, is that you could be doing this for a while.

    Yeah. I’m not totally in jail. I think signing up for a Marvel contract is much worse. But there could be a few movies. But I have some control over it, too.

    Is there an aspect of fun, too? It seems almost like going back to school. Like, “Time to go do another ‘Maze Runner.’”

    Oh, totally. Getting to play a character over a lengthy period of time is always a pleasure, especially if you like the character. You grow attached to them in a certain way. I’ve felt that way with Stiles, the “Teen Wolf” character I play — and my “Maze Runner” character, too. It gets a little sentimental when you bid them farewell. It’s like, “Oh, wow — this is my last day on set as this guy.”You’re done with “Teen Wolf” now, right?

    And “Maze Runner.”

    Was it emotional?

    Oh, absolutely. It hits you. With “Teen Wolf,” I was always aware of it. Season to season, we wouldn’t even know if we were going again next year. So I got used to it. It was always, “Well, this could be it.” I couldn’t be happier with how long it lasted, the success the show had was really unbelievable. There were so many good people that I love dearly now that were a part of the process. It was such a great thing for everyone. And “Maze Runner,” too, is really close to my heart. I’m so glad I got to finish that, and on such a positive note. But it’s always sad.

    Even though you might not have been worried about the fans, once you got the role in “American Assassin,” did you read a bunch of the books? What was that process like for you?

    I went through the one that we’re doing, obviously. Because I kind of knew from the first ten books, where you’re following the character as a full-grown man, that he was a bruiser. I think he probably had a thicker neck than I do and a huskier build. I was really taken with playing with that aspect of him, but adjusting it more to what I see him doing, since it’s filtered through me, ultimately. What was really interesting to me was the emotional arc he goes through. But you don’t really see that, in a way. I liked that this guy’s thick skin and toughness came as a guard. It’s not a front, necessarily, but it’s his way of dealing with the pain that’s inside of him.

    This movie obviously has a lot of stunts. You were injured doing a stunt. And it’s so nice to see that you’re okay.

    Aw, thanks.

    And that seemed like a fairly serious injury.

    Yes, it was very serious.

    Was there any hesitation or resistance on your part in terms of signing up for something that would have this much action?

    Oh, absolutely. I shied away from the whole thing, at first. When you go through something like that, it was a really scary thing that I was lucky to come away from. Everything inside of me, for months, was telling me to run away from stuff. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life. So there was absolutely trepidation. And for the longest time, I was writing it off. I was dealing with other things and didn’t want to think about work. But at the same time, I didn’t want to let it go. And I also thought it’d be good for me to do it, despite innately inside screaming and being like “No, absolutely not.”

    Eventually, you do have to face that beast and that’s the only way you can properly process it. I’m very happy that I made the decision to stick with the movie. And we did it in the right way, particularly because of what I was coming off of. We had to be careful of certain things and I had certain restrictions.

    But, ultimately, it was a good thing because it motivated everybody to do it in the right way. When you’re dealing with things like this on a set — and I’ll always preach this for as long as I live after going through what I went through — but safety is paramount. I think sometimes that gets lost in the fold a little bit. People can get lost in that little world you’re in on a set, and you’re making believe and it’s all fake. But people can still get hurt — and you’re dealing with really serious things. I go about it all differently now. I’m very meticulous with the stunts that I am asked to do, and I feel like I don’t have to do anything I’m not comfortable with doing. It’s a good thing for people to be aware of, and have a really safe shoot, which is what we did.

    Were you able to use that experience for this character? Obviously, he’s injured early on in the movie and has to build himself back up.

    In a lot of ways there was a lot of parallels for me. A lot of the reason that I didn’t want to let it go, at the end of the day, was because I felt more connected to this guy than I ever could have. Obviously not dealing with the exact same thing, but I had a lot to draw on and was discovering things about this guy that I would never have discovered. There were things that I wanted to implement and even his whole look, that was all discovered myself in my post-accident recovery. There are so many things in the forefront of your mind that you’re not going out to get a haircut. Your daily functioning is disrupted and you realize that months go by and you haven’t shaved or cut your hair. I just felt like I understood this guy.

    Were you still able to enjoy yourself? Because it seems like fight training can be fun.

    Absolutely. And it’s actually really soothing, too. Training like that is good for your mind. I understand why people can become addicted to it. I get that it’s really good for you and not just physically. That’s probably what struck me most about the training — it was really good for me at a time I really needed it, too.

    Was part of the appeal of the character that physical transformation?

    Yes. I tried to make that transformation as much of a contrast as I could. I would love to do the Tom Hanks, take six months off for “Cast Away,” but that’s not how things are done anymore unfortunately. I started the movie in the best shape I could get into in two months, and tried to hold onto that for as long as I could. Then, at the end at some point, I stopped training in the last month, in preparation to do the beginning scene at the end. I had to lose as much as I could in that time. I wanted it to be a jump. Just as far as the authenticity of the film goes, and the story — if he wakes up 18 months later and sees the shape that he’s in and get an idea of what he’s been doing every day since that happened. I hope that comes across.

    What was it like working with Michael Keaton? Did you watch him and take cues?

    Yeah, I think why younger actors do that a lot is, for me, is it’s fascinating to see a guy who you’ve watched forever, and the amount of performances you’ve seen of his that you think are brilliant, it’s then really brilliant to see how they go about achieving that. You want to see what their process is like. It could be any version of it. Whenever I’ve gotten to work with guys who are pretty prominent, prolific actors, I always observe how they are. Keaton is funny. He’s been great for so many decades and he’s not a psychopath. You can achieve that greatness by being smart and having a good work ethic and can still be a good human. That’s the biggest thing I took away from watching him.This movie is pretty firmly planted in the spy genre. Do you have a favorite?

    “True Lies.” That would have to be my favorite spy movie of all time. It’s a classic.

    Should this franchise continue, do you have say in the character or have you suggested the next book they develop?

    I have to give so much credit to Michael Cuesta. He allowed us to have so much input. I couldn’t think of another director who would have tolerated me coming to them with seven pages of notes. And listen and be opened eared to every single one of them. I couldn’t be more grateful. So, if we all sign up to do it again I would get to be a part of it, in terms of the development process.

    “American Assassin” is everywhere this Friday.

  • Liam Neeson and His Set of Skills Are Retiring from Action Movies

    2017 Toronto International Film Festival - 'Mark Felt - The Man Who Brought Down The White House' PremiereAudiences won’t be able to see Liam Neeson‘s very particular set of skills on the big screen for much longer: The actor says he’s retiring from action movies.

    While speaking with reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, Neeson — who became an unlikely action star thanks to his performance in the 2008 thriller “Taken” — revealed that he was done with the genre. According to the actor, he wants to work on more “serious” projects, and also says that he thinks he’s getting too old to believably headline such fare.

    “They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff,” Neeson said of the action offers he receives. “I’m like: ‘Guy’s I’m sixty-f******-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go: ‘Come on.’”

    While we tend to disagree that filmgoers will ever get sick of seeing Neeson kick ass on the big screen, he does make a good point about his ubiquity in the genre. The actor has been steadily pumping out action hits for almost a decade post-“Taken” (including two sequels to that flick), and currently has two more in the pipeline (“Hard Powder” and “The Commuter”).

    But Neeson wasn’t always such a hard-hitting action star, and initially broke into Hollywood through more traditional dramatic fare, scoring accolades and awards nominations earlier in his career (including a 1994 Oscar nod for Best Actor for his work in Best Picture winner “Schindler’s List”). He took some detours into more mainstream flicks over the ensuing years (like “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” “Love Actually,” and “Batman Begins”), but it wasn’t until “Taken” that he became synonymous with action fare. A quick peek at his eclectic filmography makes it clear that Neeson would want to avoid being pigeonholed forever.

    Neeson will have the chance to flex his acting muscle in a new genre when he plays the titular role in “Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House,” which just debuted at TIFF.

    “The Fate of the Furious” looks like it will showcase all the over-the-top action sequences you could possibly want.

    Universal Pictures finally dropped the first official trailer for the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, and it doesn’t disappoint. There’s a new villain in town, and she is going to cause major trouble for Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his fast family. Played by Charlize Theron and described as “the very face of high-tech terrorism,” she seems to have recruited an ally as unlikely as he is dangerous: Dom.

    “Did you ever think that you’d betray your family the way you did today?” she asks during the trailer.

    Needless to say, this presents unique challenges for the rest of the gang. They have to team up to catch Dom, and evidently, they’re going to need bigger, faster, and flashier cars — and even a tank — to do it.The star-studded cast also includes Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham.

    Buckle up, because “The Fate of the Furious” races into theaters on April 14.
