Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce the project via their company 87North along with Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven, Training Day, The Equalizer) and Kat Samick (The Equalizer, Southpaw, Infinite).
Just when it seemed as though David Leitch’s in-development action thriller Bullet Train was packed with a star-studded lineup, the casting continues as Emmy-nominated Heroes alum Masi Oka has hopped aboard the project, according to Deadline.
Plot details for the film are currently being kept under wraps, but it is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Isaka Kotaro.
On top of directing, Leitch will supervise the script written by Zak Olkewicz (Fear Street).
