Directed by David Leitch, who is also famous for his films such as Deadpool 2, John Wick Franchise, Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw, and 300, the Bullet Train film is influenced by a Japanese novel named Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka.
The Novel was originally published in 2010 and portrays the story of 5 highly trained assassins who have been tasked to retrieve a briefcase from a train having USD 10 million.
The Novel Maria Beetle was also released in UK and US after the success in Japan with the title ‘Bullet Train‘. Hence from there, the film’s name was kept.
