While filmmaker David Ayer is probably best known for directing films like “Fury,” “End of Watch” and “Suicide Squad,” he broke out in 2001 by writing “Training Day” and co-writing “The Fast and the Furious.”The former won Denzel Washington the Best Actor Oscar. Ayer recently told Jon Bernthal’s “Real Ones” podcast that he has “nothing to show” for writing the top-tier blockbuster franchise. “Biggest franchise in Hollywood, and I don’t have any of it,” Ayer declared. However, Ayer says he’s the guy who gave the material its of-the-moment realism and novel-for-its-time diversity. It’s up to me, I gotta self-rescue, right?” Ayer said on Real Ones.
