The 'Suicide Squad' director was a co-writer on the original film, but says he has 'nothing to show' for his work.
The Big Picture The Fast and Furious franchise is one of the most lucrative in Hollywood, spinning into a globetrotting action series having begun as a humble crime movie about street racing and stealing DVD players. A little known fact is that David Ayer, the director of films like Fury, End of Watch and Suicide Squad was a co-writer on the story, but the filmmaker has been speaking out now against what he described as a narrative designed to write him out of the history of the series.
“When I got that script, that shit was set in New York, it was all Italian kids, right?” Ayers said. “I’m like, ‘Bro, I’m not gonna take it unless I can set it in L.A. and make it look like the people I know in L.A., right?’ So then I started, like, writing in people of color, and writing in the street stuff, and writing in the culture, and no one knew shit about street racing at the time.
Nothing to Show For It Ayer went on to say that "because of the way the business works", he wasn't able to take credit for the film's success due to his own desire to distance himself from the mingling and glad handing that pollutes Hollywood and allows for a culture of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours".
The narrative is I didn’t do shit, right? It’s like people hijack narratives, control narratives, create narratives to empower themselves, right?
