Published in 2010, the novel is<strong> the satirical story of 5 highly trained assassins<\/strong> who have been assigned the same target on a bullet train traveling from Tokyo to Morioka in Iwate Prefecture.<\/p>\n<p>The plot was tweaked slightly for the silver screen, as the assassins are now <strong>traveling on a Shinkansen from Tokyo<\/strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/shin-osaka-station\/\">Shin-Osaka<\/a>. Additionally, one of the assassins, Prince (a character played by Joey King), was changed from male to female for the film.<\/p>\n<p>King was particularly happy with this change, saying: \u201cI loved my character, everything [about] how she was written, how villainous she was, but then also that her name is so strong and powerful\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another big change is that <strong>the film is much more comedic<\/strong> than the mostly serious thriller novel. However, despite some other minor changes, many of the other plot elements from the book remain.<\/p>\n<p>In the film, <strong>Brad Pitt<\/strong><strong> plays Ladybug, a hitman with bad luck<\/strong>: he always causes death even when he doesn\u2019t mean to. He wants to retire, but is pulled back into the game for one last job by his handler Maria Beetle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>His mission is to retrieve a briefcase from the bullet train<\/strong> of the film\u2019s title. But this simple task becomes complicated when he realizes there are several other assassins on board who want the case, leading to bloody mayhem in a fight to the death.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Whos_in_the_cast\">Who\u2019s in the cast?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The film-makers of <em>Bullet Train<\/em> did not simply rest on the star power of Burapi to draw in audiences: they also assembled <strong>an impressive supporting <\/strong><strong>cast.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most notable is <strong>Sandra Bullock <\/strong><strong>as the mysterious Maria Beetle<\/strong>. Although the role was originally meant for Lady Gaga, she had to drop out following scheduling conflicts. This led to Bullock signing on to reunite with Pitt after their winning collaboration in<em> The Lost City<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To play<strong> the other deadly assassins<\/strong> on board the train, Leitch made some intriguing choices, including<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aaron Taylor Johnson<\/strong> (<em>Kick-Ass<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andrew Koji <\/strong>(<em>Snake Eyes<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brian Tyree Henry<\/strong> (<em>Eternals<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joey King<\/strong> (<em>The Kissing Booth<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zazie Beetz <\/strong>(<em>Deadpool 2<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taylor-Johnson and Henry, who play unlikely brothers Lemon and Tangerine, <strong>apparently bonded particularly well on set<\/strong>. The former bought a lemon tree to symbolize their relationship that they kept alive during filming, which is now in the possession of the film\u2019s director.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>rest of the cast<\/strong> is equally full of well-known performers such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Michael Shannon<\/strong> (<em>Knives Out<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Logan Lerman<\/strong> (<em>Percy Jackson<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hiroyuki Sanada<\/strong> (<em>Westworld<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Karen Fukuhara<\/strong> (<em>The Boys)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, fans of <strong>rapper <\/strong><strong>Bad Bunny<\/strong> were pleased to see him continue his foray into acting after a small role in <em>F9: The Fast Saga. <\/em>In <em>Bullet Train,<\/em> he plays Wolf, a formidable Mexican assassin with a personal vendetta against Ladybug.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the film\u2019s poster for a look at how some of the characters appear in the film:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16566\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-16566 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bullet-train-movie-poster-640x800.webp\" alt=\"bullet train movie poster\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bullet-train-movie-poster-640x800.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bullet-train-movie-poster-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bullet-train-movie-poster.webp 697w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bullet Train (2022) &#8211; Image credits by Sony<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Bullet_Train_trailer\">Bullet Train trailer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you still haven&#8217;t seen <em>Bullet Train<\/em>, <strong>the fun trailers for the film will definitely convince you<\/strong> to get on board for the ride.
