The cast has recently been filled out with such names as Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Logan Lerman and Masi Oka.
Producer Kelly McCormick recently told Collider that the movie drew such big names because of the chance to work with Pitt and Leitch, who’s directed John Wick, Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2, after working as Pitt’s stunt double.
She said: ‘I think the combo in what this movie is, which is kind of a crazy crime caper, is a really exciting combo for fans as well as actors. I can’t speak more highly of the picture and the experience. Every day is an absolute riot.’
McCormick went on to praise Pitt’s performance: ‘Brad is a generous actor and a good human being. In my opinion, this is a Brad performance that we’ve never seen him do before.
‘It’s light, it’s fun, it’s crazy, and he’s having a ball, I think. And, we are too… He trained a lot. And, part of it, I think is because he’s working for the guy who used to take the punches for him, so he has something to prove.’
