Where was 'Bullet Train' filmed?

According to director David Leitch, more than part the film used to be filmed on a soundstage in Culver City, Calif.

"Oh, we were hoping at some point that, during pre-production, COVID would lighten up, and we could get to Japan," he told Collider. "So, there was part of me that was like, 'Oh.' I was really bummed when we realized we're never going to get in."

David famous that he in the end met with cinematographer Jonathan Sela and the visible results department to begin researching an concept that involved testing virtual manufacturing technologies often used on The Mandalorian.

He recalled discussing having LED monitors out of doors the educate and sending a faraway team to Japan to shoot a little bit of plate material that will later be augmented and stitched in combination earlier than someone stepped on the educate, which used to be a near not possible feat.

"Everyone just mobilized. Mike Brazelton, [an] incredible VFX supervisor who worked at DNEG for years, came onto this project as his first supervising role. He took the reins and made that stuff happen outside the walls," David advised the outlet.

"That was piece one of the puzzle. The other was platforms. We're telling stories on these different platforms and journeys. So David Scheunemann, the production designer, came up with this ingenious idea to reclad, make it a modular platform."

"Some of the structures were structural, some of the poles were structural, some of them were facades, right?" he added. "And we could remove them and take them and reclad them, reclad walls, put in set walls, to make this one platform feel like a journey of seven platforms."

"It could be redressed within a day or two because of our schedule. And again, just the ingenuity of it all, it still blows me away what our department, construction, and visual effects pull off," David concluded. "For what we do, it's just, I've been in the business almost 30 years, and it still blows me away."

Bullet Train hits theaters on Friday, Aug. 5.
