Fast & Furious: David Ayer is very angry with the saga and with Hollywood

David Ayer at war with Hollywood

If there’s a director who doesn’t talk, that’s it David Ayer. Since the critical failure of Suicide squad (2016), the director continues to claim that he is in no way responsible for the outcome of this film. According to him, many things would have been changed by the production during editing, thus completely changing his vision.

And see Zack Snyder get fan support to release the Zack Snyder’s Justice League (the director’s version of Justice League), David Ayer in turn claimed a “David Ayer’s Cut”. Suicide squad. Zack Snyder had even supported him in approaching him, but in the end there was above all the feeling that the director was the only one who hadn’t moved on. Especially since, since then, the excellent The suicide squad (2021) was directed by James Gunn…

However, David Ayer didn’t hide his anger at studio Warner Bros. And it’s even Hollywood in general which he firmly rejects, as can be read in a recent interview on Jon Bernthal’s podcast (via Expiration).

There are those people who hijack narratives, control and alter them to empower themselves. I’ve always been an outsider and I don’t go to these fucking parties. I don’t go to meals, I don’t do any of that. People who do can keep control of their stories, because they socialize with that part of the problem.

Fast & Furious owes him everything

David Ayer talks here about the studios they, like Warner Bros., have work control, in particular being able to decide on the final assembly. But the director also refers to his work Fast & Furious (2001). Why yes, the director participated to the script of the first film. He would make major rewrites to replace the storyline from New York to Los Angelesand thus include different communities.

When I received the script, it was set in New York, with young people of Italian origin. I thought, “I’m not going to take this script if I can’t set it in Los Angeles and make the characters look like people I know in Los Angeles.” So I started writing about people of color, about the street, about culture, and at the time nobody knew about street racing.

David Ayer’s statement still has something to smile about. Because, actually, the scenario of Fast & Furious it’s not that original. Street racing in Los Angeles was previously depicted in The fury of living (1955). As well as remember the story of a policeman who infiltrates a gang and befriends the leader Breaking point (1991).

“I have none of that”

But he goes on to say that he did some research and met people from the tuning world. It would therefore be thanks to him that the universe of Fast & Furious would be born. However, according to David Ayer, he would not nothing taken from the success of the franchise. Being “only” credited to the script and why of the functioning of Hollywood.

Hollywood’s biggest franchise, and I have none of that. I have nothing for how the company works.

From the very first Fast & Furiousthe saga has become huge to date ten major films made and an eleventh on the way. Added to this is a first spin-off (Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw in 2019) and a second in production starring Dwayne Johnson. David Ayer’s latest film, The tax collector (2020), was a critical and public failure.
