Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt, who have never done a movie together, are doing a movie together
Aux Features Sandra Bullock
The first movies ever made were created around the 1890s, meaning movies have been around for 130 or so years, but in all those years there has never been a movie featuring both Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock. Isn’t that wild? They’ve made movies about a train coming toward the screen and South Park movies and movies with Buster Keaton flip-flopping around, but none of those movies had both Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt. Not a single one!
Finally, though, Hollywood is coming through: According to Deadline, Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt are going to star in a movie together, which—despite what we said up above—is not actually something we had ever even thought about before. Brad Pitt’s never made a movie with plenty of people and we never hear about it. Anyway, Pitt and Bullock are going to star in Bullet Train, an action movie directed by David Leitch (of Deadpool and John Wick fame) that we first heard about last summer. It’s based on the novel Maria Beetle by Japanese author Kotaro Isaka, and as we noted last year, the book has some similarities to a little movie called Speed. Hey, you know who was in Speed? Keanu Reeves, who starred in a film called The Lake House with none other than Sandra Bullock.
In addition to Pitt and Bullock, Bullet Train will feature Joey King, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, Masi Oka, and Andrew Koji. That’s a great cast, even aside from those two famous people finally agreeing to work together!

Scarlett Johansson walked so they could run.
Should change the title to Bullock Train.
Bull-Pitt Train
“AWWWW, NOT THE KINGSWOOD! I JUST DUCO’D THE RADIATOR!”
You get a star for that.
“STAR ON THE FRIDGE, WOG.”

Was this intentional?

The Korean original version of The Lake House (Il Mare) is a much better film IMO. The remake shoehorned a scene in to have the two leads meet much earlier that really didn’t fit well as well as somewhat botching parts of the temporal aspects.
the korean version of Speed, however…highly erotic
Best thing I’ve read on here in a while. Bravo, Sam!
Not true, they were in that one movie both the title of which and its year of release I’ve conveniently forgotten.
Wait, what? Speed is already a rip-off of a Japanese movie from 1975 called The Bullet Train. Is this a remake of it? That movie wasn’t based on any novel, AFAIK.
Let me guess: Michael Shannon is there as comic relief, maybe as a sassy passenger.
Is the world ready for sassy Michael Shannon?
At this point, why not?
Japan’s already building a maglev line between Tokyo and Osaka, so this movie is already out of date with the latest technology.
They’re making a movie? Bullocks to that! That’s just the Pitts! I’m out.

Also, Speed has very strong similarities to a 1970s Japanese movie starring Sonny Chiba called… The Bullet Train!
Ten comments and several hours and no one’s made a Pitt-Bull(ock) crack yet? For shame.
Wow, you just went with the worst pictures of them you could find, huh?
She’s on her third glass and he is perfectly stoned.
hasn’t he been for the better part of the last 25 years though?
YES. Probably 30.
From True Romance onward, more or less.

who has been in a movie with Brad Pitt, even though you couldn’t see it…
Pitt and Bullock were almost in the same movie together twice. First, they almost starred in Rebecca in 1940, but Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine were chosen instead as neither had yet been born (Hitchcock was not happy). Sam Peckinpah tried to cast them both in The Getaway in 1972, but had to go with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw as Pitt was only 9 and Bullock only 8 at the time, and the studio didn’t want to deal with child labor laws.
this is a huge windfall for the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game
“Can’t just report this, I need a Take… um… they’ve never been in a movie together! I’ll spin an entire article out of that!”
