Sylvester Stallone Co-Wrote And Produced ‘A Working Man’
The script for A Working Man was adapted from Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel Levon’s Trade by Sylvester Stallone, who in turn passed the script to fellow action star Jason Statham, accoring to The Hollywood Reporter.
From there, writer-director David Ayer expanded Stallone’s script into the screenplay for A Working Man.
“He adapted Chuck’s book, and novels have so much more room to tell a story than film. So he successfully broke the story into a nice three-act structure, and that’s really the heavy lifting of any script,” Ayer told THR recently.
“And then, for me, it was about adding a lot of the family layer and the warmth of it and relocating it to Chicago,” Ayer added. “It was originally set in Tampa, Florida, so there were all these little changes. I then made it a little bit more in my language and my storytelling language, so [Stallone]
really gave me a license to go and make it my own.”
A Working Man to date has earned $33.4 million in North American theaters and $30.3 million internationally for a worldwide tally of $63.7 million. The film had a $40 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, The Numbers reported.
The film received a 50% “rotten” rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 140 reviews and an 87% “fresh” score on RT’s Popcorn meter based on 2,500-plus verified user ratings.
