Bullet Train

Editor - Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir, ACE BULLET TRAIN editor and Iceland native Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir is widely known for her work on high-adrenaline action films such as JOHN WICK (2014), ATOMIC BLONDE (2017), DEADPOOL 2 (2018) and Marvel's SHANG CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (2021); the first three of which were helmed by BULLET TRAIN director, David Leitch. Based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle (published in English as Bullet Train ) by Kōtarō Isaka, the film tells the story of Ladybug (Brad Pitt), a trained killer who wants to give up the life but is pulled back in by his handler Maria Beetle (Sandra Bullock). His mission is to collect a briefcase on a bullet train heading from Tokyo to Kyoto with only a few stops in between. Onboard the train, he and other competing assassins discover their objectives are all connected. The question becomes, who will make it off the train alive and what awaits them at the terminal station?
