David Ayer Vents Frustrations Over Rarely Getting Credit For Writing Fast & Furious

The Fast and the Furious screenwriter David Ayer laments that he doesn’t get the credit for writing the movie that launched the huge multimedia franchise. Ayer is now best known as the writer-director of 2016’s Suicide Squad in addition to writing Training Day and directing Bright. However, his second screenplay after making his feature writing debut with 2000’s U-571 was the original 2001 The Fast and the Furious, which followed the formation of the bond between LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and street racer Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) during an undercover job.
