Ayer Wiki:
David Ayer was born in 1968 in Champaign, Illinois. As a teenager, he was kicked out of his parents' house and subsequently lived with his cousin in Los Angeles. Ayer is known for his experiences living in Los Angeles, which served as inspiration for many of his films.
Ayer wrote the screenplay for the thriller Dark Blue, and his research with the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) led to his most famous work, the screenplay for Training Day, which he sold for one million dollars. He sold his next script, Squids, for 1.5 million dollars. The screenplay was released in theaters in 2000 as U-571. For this story, a submarine thriller, he drew on his experiences as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy. It is a fictional account of how, during World War II, the Americans cracked the German Enigma code before the British. However, Ayer emphasized in an interview that he did not intend to distort the truth in any of his screenplays as he had done with U-571. He was uncomfortable with that aspect of history.[1] "It was a distortion," Ayer said, "a profiteering decision to invent this parallel story to tailor it to an American audience. Both my grandfathers were officers in World War II, and I would take it as a personal attack if someone falsified their achievements."
Ayer signed a two-million-dollar contract to write a screenplay for S.W.A.T., based on his original drafts. The film was directed by Clark Johnson and released in 2003. In 2001, he contributed to the screenplay for The Fast and the Furious.
Ayer's directorial debut was the film Harsh Times, a drama filmed on the streets of Los Angeles. The film explores the impact of violence on people's attempts to lead normal lives. His second directorial effort, for which he also co-wrote the screenplay, is the 2008 thriller Street Kings.
In 2017, he was inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which presents the Oscars annually.
Jason Wiki:
Jason Statham made his film debut in 1998 in the crime comedy Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The fashion label French Connection, where the British actor had recently worked, sponsored the film and successfully recommended Statham to director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie subsequently cast him in his films Snatch and Revolver. Statham gained further recognition with the action film The One, starring Jet Li.
Jason Statham's definitive breakthrough in the film industry came in 2002 with the action-adventure The Transporter, produced by Luc Besson and directed by Louis Leterrier. Corey Yuen choreographed the elaborate fight scenes, which Statham performed himself using a combination of martial arts such as Wing Chun, karate, and kickboxing.[7] The film spawned two sequels starring Statham: Transporter 2 (2005) and Transporter 3 (2008). The success of the film series also landed him supporting roles in The Italian Job and Final Call, and brought him back to the martial arts film genre in 2007 with War, once again as Jet Li's antagonist.
Thanks to his physical presence and newfound popularity, Jason Statham became increasingly sought-after leading man for action films in the following years, further advancing his career with Chaos, Crank, and Crank 2. His heist movie The Bank Job became particularly well-known in the UK; he also starred alongside Ray Winstone in the thriller *13*.
In 2011, Jason Statham starred in three action films: *Blitz*, *The Mechanic*, and *Killer Elite*.
Statham played a leading role in *The Expendables*, alongside Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Li, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. A sequel, also starring Statham, was released in 2012. The third installment hit theaters in August 2014.
In 2015, Statham took on the role of the main villain, Deckard Shaw, in *Fast & Furious 7*. He had been briefly introduced in this role at the end of the 2013 film *Fast & Furious 6*. He also played the role of a team member in the eighth installment, released in 2017, and in the 2019 spin-off Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw.
Based on box office revenue, Statham was by far the most successful actor in Great Britain in 2024. His films have grossed more than six billion dollars since 2000. Daniel Craig, with his James Bond films, came in second.
