Brad Pitt Describes Being Directed By His Former Stunt Double
Brad Pitt reveals what it's like being directed by his formerFight Club stunt double, David Leitch, in Bullet Train. Pitt is one of the most recognizable actors working in Hollywood today, getting his start with films like Thelma & Louis, True Romance, and Legends of the Fall. Although he was a well-known actor by the time Fight Club came out in 1999, the David Fincher-directed film helped to establish him as one of the foremost rising talents in the industry.
Pitt is next slated to appear in Bullet Train, an action-comedy about a group of assassins who all find themselves on the same bullet train with similar objectives. Although on the surface, Fight Club and the upcoming action-comedy Bullet Train have little in common, the film features an interesting change in dynamic, with Leitch helming the film after serving as Pitt's stunt double on the former project. Bullet Train is hardly Leitch's first directorial effort, however, with the filmmaker co-directing John Wick in an uncredited role, before then directing Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw.
