Man on Fire is based on the novel of the same name by A.F. Quinell, and Brian Helgeland wrote the screenplay for the film with Tony Scott directing. Helgeland most recently wrote the script for The Killer, the action flick starring Nathalie Emmanuel and Sam Worthington that was directed by John Woo. He’s also known for his work on Legend, the true crime thriller starring Tom Hardy and Taron Egerton, and 42, the sports biopic about Jackie Robinson starring the late Chadwick Boseman. Scott is best known for his work on the original Top Gun (1986), and he also worked with Washington in 2009 on The Taking of Pelham 123, an action thriller that stars John Travolta. Scott’s last project before his passing, Unstoppable, was a collaboration with Washington and Chris Pine.
