[edit] Production

The Brazilian Job was originally expected to be released in 2007, but faced several delays. The screenplay, written by David Twohy, was not a story everyone was happy with, with Wahlberg saying that he would not sign on until it was completed.^[3] Twohy initially approached Paramount with an original screenplay he had written entitled The Wrecking Crew, and though the studio reportedly liked the idea, they thought it would work better as a sequel. Twohy agreed to adapt the idea as the second installment to The Italian Job. Director F. Gary Gray is expected to return, as well as most, if not all, of the original cast. It is also expected that the picture will be shot on location in Brazil.^[4]
