Sony Pictures has once again delayed the release date for David Leitch‘s highly-anticipated movie “Bullet Train“.

The movie has been pushed back from July 29 to August 5, which is the same weekend Leitch’s "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" opened to relative success in the summer of 2019.

“Bullet Train” is penned by Zak Olkewicz and helmed by David Leitch, the director of “Deadpool 2” and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”.

The movie is based on the popular Japanese book, “Maria Beetle” by Kotaro Isaka. The novel revolves around a group of hitmen and assassins with conflicting motives on a train in Tokyo.

“Bullet Train” stars Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Masi Oka, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Benito A Martínez Ocasio.

Pitt will be playing Ladybug, the lead assassin on board the bullet train. Bullock, will play Pitt’s handler, a part that was initially intended for Lady Gaga.

King stars as Prince, another killer who hides behind the façade of an innocent schoolgirl. Taylor-Johnson and Tyree Henry will portray Tangerine and Lemon, twin assassins who team up on taking down their marks.

“Bullet Train” is produced by Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, and Antoine Fuqua with Ryosuke Saegusa, Yuma Terada, Brent O’Connor, and Kat Samick serving as executive producers.
