Sony Pictures has released a new clip of Bullet Train , which will open the 75th Locarno Film Festival on August 3 .
The scene in question shows Ladybug ( Brad Pitt ) and Lemon ( Brian Tyree Henry ) in the silent car of the train of the same name, engaged in a funny sitting fight: if they want to kill each other, they must do it with discretion.
You can see all the paradoxical irony of this action comedy , based on the novel The Seven Killers of the Shinkansen by Kōtarō Isaka .
Bullet Train is a crazy and fun action thriller from Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. Brad Pitt stars in an ensemble film featuring a diverse group of assassins, all with linked but conflicting goals, against the backdrop of a relentless race through modern day Japan.
The US release is expected on August 5th , while in Italy it will arrive on August 25th . You can see the clip below.
