Hit Man Co-Writers Glen Powell and Richard Linklater on Taking That Ride
Hit Man star Glen Powell and director Richard Linklater on writing Hit Man together, making the Hit Man sex scenes, and making cinema work for you.
The piece detailed how the real Johnson bounced between teaching community college classes and impersonating a hit man to help police capture people trying to hire contract killers. But Hit Man takes some creative liberties when it shows the mild-mannered, scholarly Gary becoming the macho, confident killer “Ron” to sting a woman named Maddy Masters (Adria Arjona).
