David Ayer wrote the screenplay in 1995 and received responses that were either very positive or very negative. After LAPD officer Rafael Perez was caught stealing cocaine from an evidence locker, the script received more fans, including Warner Bros., who bought the script.
Davis Guggenheim was initially going to direct the film, with Jackson as Alonzo Harris and Damon as Jake Hoyt. Once Denzel Washington accepted the role of Alonzo instead, the actor allegedly asked for Guggenheim to be replaced.
He was approached to act alongside Washington, and ended up starring in 8 Mile the next year. Tobey Maguire, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr., Scott Speedman, and Paul Walker also tested for the role of the rookie cop.
Hawke was upset at Washington for improvising during their screen test. The actor later claimed he considered going back to the room to tell them all to “go to hell”when he got a phone call saying that the audition went great and the part was his.

The community wanted the movie to happen and to be as unflinchingly honest as possible, so the ban was lifted. Fuqua cast residents of South Central, Crenshaw, Firestone, Inglewood, Rampart, Echo Park, Lincoln Heights, and the Impe...
