Ayer changed the setting from New York to LA.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT David Ayer commented on the changes he made to The Fast and the Furious script and how he doesn't get credit for it, even though those story changes led to the franchise's $7 billion box office success. Ayer is known better as a director, having helmed intense such crime films as Street Kings and End of Watch, as well as the war movie Fury.
How David Ayer Changed Fast & Furious' Original Concept The Fast and the Furious was originally set in New York City, and that setting alone would have massively limited the film. David Ayer explained, "When I got that script, that s--- was set in New York, it was all Italian kids." Given that the movie is about street racing, it would have been extremely difficult to shoot it on tight New York street blocks, especially compared to the wide-open spaces of Los Angeles.
The Fast and the Furious is based on "Racer X", a magazine article that investigated underground street racing, which was unknown to the public at the time, and it likely had a modicum of references to the underground world. However, it was Ayer who injected the screenplay with fine details about tuning cars that only gearheads would know.
The franchise has shifted from its street racing roots, and it's more of a globe-trotting affair than a Los Angeles-based series now. However, there's currently a nostalgia for those early street-racing-focused films and a demand for the series to go back in that direction. The Fast & Furious movies' need to return to the franchise's roots is the best option for a reboot, too.
