Sony Pictures has slightly pushed the Bullet Train release date back for David Leitch’s forthcoming action thriller film. The movie, which features a star-studded ensemble led by Brad Pitt, was originally set to release in theaters on Friday, July 15. Now it has been pushed back two weeks and will now come out on Friday, July 29, which was set to be the release date for Black Adam before its delay.
“An original movie event, the film is a fun, delirious action-thriller,” reads the synopsis. “Brad Pitt headlines an ensemble cast of eclectic, diverse assassins – all with connected yet conflicting objectives – set against the backdrop of a non-stop ride through modern-day Japan.
