Director Patrick Hughes saw the potential for a chemical reaction between Ryan Reynolds as the tightly-laced, by-the-book perfectionist Bryce and Samuel L. Jackson as the madcap, no-holds-barred Kincaid. He was equally drawn by the fun of revisiting that staple of 1980s and 1990s blockbusters - the mismatched buddy comedy - in a fresh but cheeky way, replete with fast, frenetically calibrated action that could only be created in the 21st century. Hughes explained: "The story of 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' appealed to me in part because it's got that old-school, classic buddy-comedy flavor to it - with two contrasting characters with completely clashing life attitudes - and that's something I wanted to maintain, but in a modernized way."
