SHORT SYNOPSIS
Believing his traitorous brother Dimitri (Pierce Brosnan) is somewhere in the stadium,
Arkady (Ray Stevenson), the former leader of a revolution in the Russian state of
Sukovia, locks down the Boleyn Ground during the European semi-final between West
Ham United and Dynamo FCC. In the crowd with his niece, Danni (Lara Peake), is US-
veteran Mike Knox (Dave Bautista), who stumbles upon the plot and goes about taking
out Arkady’s heavily armed team. Can he get to Arkady before Arkady gets to Dimitri?
The fate of 35,000 people inside the stadium – and many more in Russia – depends on
it…
LONG SYNOPSIS
News footage of the Russian state of Sukovia shows that a revolution led by the Belov
brothers – politician Dimitri (Lee Rogers) and brutal general Arkady (Ray Stevenson) –
crumbles after Dimitri is killed in a Russian airstrike and Arkady is captured.
Seventeen years later, Mike Knox (Dave Bautista) arrives in London, visiting Rachel
(Lucy Gaskell) and Danni (Lara Peake), the wife and teenage of daughter of his best
friend and fellow US soldier, who died in action whilst serving in his unit.
That night, ‘Uncle Mike’ takes Danni to see West Ham United play Russian powerhouses
Dynamo FCC in the semi-final of Europe. When Knox leaves his seat to fetch a couple of
hotdogs, Danni sneaks off to sit with Brandon (Rian Gordon), who’s been texting her. It
is not a good time to be separated from her man-mountain of an uncle, for Arkady, now
released, and 13 of his goons have plotted their way into the stadium armed with semi-
automatic weapons and enough C-4 to…well, blow up a football ground.
As the match kicks off, Arkady and his highly trained team enter the communications’
centre and execute several people. They lock down the stadium and cut off all contact,
including mobile phone signals, before running facial recognition software over the
35,000 crowd. Arkady believes Dimitri is not only alive but somewhere inside the
ground.
Returning to his seat to find Danni gone, Knox convinces a steward, Faisal (Amit Shah),
to take him to the control room. En route they encounter not the usual security guard but
a bulky Russian wearing a rogue pass around his tree-trunk neck. A crunching fight
ensues, with Knox disarming his opponent and shooting him in the head. Knox and Faisal
stash the corpse in a VIP toilet and discover that his bag is full of explosives.
Radioing out, Knox alerts Chief Commander Daniel Steed (Ralph Brown), who contacts
the control room but is told by the only living policeman, held at gunpoint, that all is fine.
Knox is on his own, but is at least now armed with a radio, a security pass and a gun.
Tracking the radio in Knox’s possession, Arkady sends men to investigate, leading to an
almighty kitchen-set scrap involving guns, knives, pans, utensils and a deep-fat fryer.
Knox emerges battered but victorious, and throws a body off the roof of the stadium into
the street. “You have my attention,” says Commander Steed on the radio, and summons
the SAS.
But Arkady is himself about to make an attention-grab, bursting into the media room and
forcing a TV presenter to report the situation live on air. If the UK government doesn’t
hand over Dimitri, the stadium will blow when the match reaches the 90-minute mark.
Faisal finds Danni and agrees to meet Knox on the roof with her, for Knox, informed of
Dimitri’s seat number, must collect him. But not before he finds himself involved in a
motorbike chase through the interior corridors of the stadium and across the roof.
Grabbing Dimitri (Pierce Brosnan), who’s undergone plastic surgery to aid his fake-
death, Knox fights his way back to the roof, where a chopper awaits. But not, alas, Danni,
who’s been captured.
As the pulsating match continues, a rooftop switch is arranged, Dimitri for Danni. But
Knox makes the long walk in Dimitri’s place, disguised by the glare of floodlights. A
gunfight ensues. Knox makes a death-defying escape by swinging off the roof on a
banner, but Dimitri and Danni are captured. Arkady insists that Dimitri should broadcast
to the people of Sukovia, certain that his resurrection will re-ignite the revolution. Instead
Dimitri puts a bullet in his own head.
Meanwhile, Faisal pretends to have a bomb, to ensure a swift evacuation of the stand that
is wired with C-4. Arkady appears on the big screen inside the stadium, dictating his
manifesto, and the stand blows.
In the wreckage, Knox finds Danni but Arkady appears out of the smoke to grab her. She
manages to break free with a well-timed headbutt, and Knox shots Arkady dead.
In amongst the crowd who have gathered outside, Rachel waits anxiously to see her
daughter. As the fans flee the stadium, Rachel pushes her way through, finding Danni and
Knox in amongst the smouldering chaos, and embrace. Danni sobs as she holds onto
those dearest to her, and they slowly make there way outside of Boleyn Ground.
//ABOUT THE PRODUCTION//
An independently funded British action movie with the production value and spectacle to
rival Hollywood’s behemoths, Final Score was the brainchild of producer Marc
Goldberg, who, in late-2015, spied a unique opportunity.
“I’d made a few British movies and have a distribution company and my business partner
is David Sullivan, who owns West Ham [United Football Club],” he explains. “During
the final season at Upton Park [West Ham’s home since 1904 – for the 2016-17 season,
they moved to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford], I asked him ‘What’s happening to the
stadium once you leave?’ and he mentioned it was being reconfigured to be apartments.
So I got in touch with Barratt Homes, the property company who had bought the land, to
see if there was a way to use the stadium before they knocked it down.”
At this point, there was not even an idea for a story, just the sure knowledge that to be
allowed access to such an arena – and to be allowed to blow parts of it up – was a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity. “We had to start somewhere, and we felt that making a movie
about sport or a movie about West Ham would not be widely appealing,” continues
Goldberg. “So we thought, ‘How about making an action movie?’ We started with ‘Die
Hard in a football stadium’. That was the nuts and bolts of the idea. I then got in touch
with the guys at The Fyzz Facility, who obviously have been involved in the making and
financing of lots of films [Silence, Wind River and 47 Meters Down are just three recent
examples], and they came on board to produce it with me.”
“Marc text me as I was getting on a plane to LA,” says Wayne Marc Godfrey, CEO, co-
founder and co-owner of The Fyzz Facility. "So we had dinner in LA the next night. He
said, ‘We’re all Brits and we all know about football and that West Ham are leaving
Upton Park; I can get the stadium for four to six weeks after the end of the season. Let’s
make a movie there.’ I was like, ‘You are absolutely nuts! But we are in.’ The concept
was ‘Die Hard in a football stadium’ – we’d figure the rest out later. It felt like an
amazing challenge as this was November [2015] and we were talking about shooting the
next May. We had no script, no writer, no director, no cast, and no money! But we had
this unique opportunity.”
//ACTION STATIONS//
Given the movie had to shoot in the summer of 2016, between the football season ending
in May and Barratt Homes beginning the demolition of the stadium in September,
Goldberg and Fyzz were able to map out a clear timeline as to what needed to be done by
when. A brief was sent out to writers, attracting a flood of submissions that ranged from
single-paragraph treatments to, as Godfrey puts it, “10-page epics”, and from these a
shortlist of 10 was drawn up – it was like Pop Idol for film. Each participant was paid to
develop their ideas over the next few days. This, in turn, resulted in a hot list of three,
with the Lynch Brothers (David T. and Keith) winning out after various rounds of
meetings and interviews. They were commissioned to write and deliver script by January
3.
“It was good; a great start,” says Godfrey, who pocketed the manuscript and flew to LA
with Goldberg and fellow producer Robert Jones for a week of meetings. “People were
very accepting that this was a unique project and the location was a one-off,” says
Goldberg, while Godfrey notes, “Out of 10 meetings, we got nine offers.”
It was also during that week in LA that the producers netted their director, Scott Mann. “I
had previously worked with Scott on a film called Heist, and he did a great job on it,”
says Godfrey. “He was in LA at the time, so we had him read it and met him for breakfast
that same week. He got engaged immediately. He had ideas on the story and script and
wanted to put some of his magic into it. We all saw eye to eye and we had a director.”
Goldberg nods. “He was first choice. Heist wasn’t a wide theatrical film but seeing what
he was able to achieve on a relatively low budget and a short amount of days, and the
type of talent he was able to work with on that film… We needed someone who got
action and could work in a relatively unconventional way, and we met and instantly got
on. He loved the project and came on and, to his credit, he and his writing team made
some changes to the script and it worked.”
“The script had me intrigued,” says Mann. “I read it and it was really good – far beyond
my expectations [given the rushed time schedule]. Working closely with the producers,
we went hell for leather to get it ready to go out to actors.”
//MEN OF ACTION//
While the concept and the promise of unprecedented access to a major sporting arena had
been enough to excite financiers in the LA meetings and to ensure a raft of distribution
deals were secured at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it was essential that Scott and his
producers find the right actors for the key roles.
Pierce Brosnan was the first to sign on as Dimitri, the Russian who, along with his
brother Arkady (Ray Stevenson), once lead a revolution to overthrow the government.
Long thought dead, it is Dimitri’s presence in the football stadium during the semi-final
of the European Cup that has triggered Arkady’s terrorist plot.
“I’d done The Foreigner with Wayne [Marc Godfrey] and we’d become friends,” says
Brosnan. “He sent me the script. I thought it was rather fascinating that they’d wrapped
the whole story around the football stadium. I said, ‘Sure, let me see if I can fit in a week.
I’m here in Texas shooting [TV series] The Son. And it just worked out. It was a lovely
job to do. Playing a Russian felt like a bit of a hoot.”
Not that it was all fun and games for Brosnan. A committed professional, he was not
about to cut any corners or be content with offering a cardboard cut-out characterisation.
“You respect the material,” he insists. “You don’t walk through it. I gave it my full
attention. I got my dialect coach, Brendan Gunn, who’ve I worked with many times now,
and we talked about the Russian accent and I worked on the Russian accent, and you try
to make it as believable as possible within the proscenium arch of the film.”
Casting an international star who had four times played James Bond was a smart move.
But equally smart was securing the man-mountain ex-WWE wrestler Dave Bautista – at
the time best-known for playing Drax in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies and
henchman Hinx in Bond film, Spectre – as the lead.
“I cast Dave in Heist and he surprised me by how good he was and how seriously he took
the work,” says Mann. “Wrestling had instilled a sense of discipline [in him], and it is
also about performance. So I had a lot of faith in Dave. But we originally talked about
him playing Arkady because the lead was, at that time, a Brit. But Dave wanted to play
Knox. I talked to the writers about changing the dynamic, making it an American at a
‘soccer’ match, and what you could do with that. The process was so alive.”
“I was looking for more leading roles,” says Bautista. “It’s easy for me to step into the
role of villain, I wanted to play the hero for a change so people could see me in a
different light; I’m still trying to prove myself as an actor.”
Neither Mann nor the producers were against the idea. Noting that Bautista is, in real life,
a joyful, hugely likeable guy with a big personality, they saw an opportunity to show a
different side of him on screen.
“We all worked very closely on the character of Michael Knox,” says Bautista. “We had
to alter a lot. We had to make him American because me trying to pull off a Brit accent or
any knowledge of football would just be insulting to our audience! And I didn’t want to
make Mike a generic character, like the cold-blooded assassin, ex-Navy Seal type guy
that we’ve seen a million times before. I wanted people to care about these characters.”
“When we cast Dave he was one of the Guardians but Blade Runner 2049 was yet to
come out, Guardians 2 was yet to come out… he was still a bit of an unknown quantity,”
notes Goldberg. “But he really delivered and we feel it couldn’t have been anyone else
playing that character.”
Brosnan, who knows a star performance when he sees one, was certainly impressed:
“He’s passionate, he’s got the commitment, he’s got the strength physically and
emotionally, and he wants it,” he says. “I wish him every success. He’s a good bloke. A
top man.”
//STADIUM ROCKED//
As the 90-minute match ticks away, Knox finds himself sneaking and hurtling through
every inch of the stadium, from its terraces to its warren of corridors and control rooms to
its corrugated roof, as he seeks to locate his niece, Danni (Lara Peake), and take out
Arkady’s band of terrorists. The action is literally explosive, and Mann points out that
every buck of the budget is there for wide-eyed viewers to enjoy.
“When you go location, location, location, a lot of money and time is wasted,” he
explains. “Here we can really put it on the screen. I moved into the stadium, as did a
majority of the principal crew. We converted the boxes in the West Stand into little
rooms to sleep in rather than drive out to a hotel in London. It was largely night shoots
and then the DP [Emil Topuzov] and me would sit outside our rooms as the sun came up,
with Bulgarian wine and bits of cheese. We’d watch the sun rise over the pitch and we’d
reflect on the shoot – what we’d got and what we needed the next day.”
“Barratt Homes was incredibly supportive and actually gave us more time,” says
Godfrey. “Ninety-five per cent of the film was shot in the stadium. We had it for about
six weeks and actually went back there for some pick-ups later on. Amazingly, we were
allowed to really take control of the stadium and destroy parts of it. Obviously we were
health and safety conscious, but we did things that were extremely exciting. That was all
Marc Goldberg – his relationship with West Ham, David Sullivan and Barratt Homes.”
“I’m a firm believer in doing things for real, wherever possible,” states Mann. “It informs
performances. Before we moved into the stadium, we were walking around, working
things out. We went on the rooftop and said, ‘How awesome would it be to do a bike
chase here?!’ We did a lot of safety precautions but there is no getting around the fact
you have a crew on a tin roof and you’re shooting action. It was exciting! And Dave did a
lot of his own stunts. He’s a physical guy, obviously. What’s the point of having a real
environment and not getting the real actor in there? So we had him jumping over these
beams that were really high up; that was really cool.”
“Everything happened for real,” confirms Goldberg. “We exploded the stadium. We had
to send letters out to all the local areas to explain what was going on. The bike scene was
heart-in-mouth, watching that happen, but it did happen and delivered as a scene. There
are things there that you’ve never seen on screen before. The truly heart-stopping,
vertiginous stunt where Dave holds the banner and swings? That happened totally for
real. There are no VFX elements there. The stunt guys were amazing.”
Bautista laughs. “If there’s a big stunt, I’m not qualified to do it, and I’m not an A-type
personality where I need to do it for the adrenaline and excitement. I have a really
qualified stunt double who I’ve worked with 10-plus films together, and I’m more than
happy for him to do it because he knows what he’s doing and he’s going to make me look
great! But my fight scenes I do myself. I don’t like when the camera has to cheat angles,
and I’m more than qualified to do that stuff. I’ve been doing martial arts for years and
years now.”
As for Brosnan, he found the shoot both moving and majestic. “There was something
rather glorious about it and something rather sad about it too – that this mighty arena was
about to be demolished. It was a wonderful tribute to the stadium, I think. If you’re gonna
go out, it’s not a bad way to go out.”
//BACK TO BASICS//
While ‘Die Hard in a football stadium’ makes for a catchy pitch, it also captures exactly
what Final Score set out to do: deliver a throwback action movie that recalls the genre’s
halcyon days of the 1980s and ‘90s, when the likes of Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage
kicked ass and had fun doing it. Nowadays, action movies are dominated by superheroes
overcoming inter-planetary threats. Final Score puts an ordinary (if highly skilled) guy in
an extraordinary but believable position.
“It makes you think, ‘What would I do if I was in that position?’ rather than it being a
global zombie outbreak or Armageddon-type movie,” says Goldberg. “Don’t get me
wrong – those films are spectacle and people want to be entertained. But what I like
about Final Score is that there aren’t movies like this. It happened more so in the ‘90s
and early 2000s where you used to get real action heroes. There’s a gap in the market.”
It’s a sentiment echoed by Godfrey, who says, “Final Score is great fun and doesn’t take
itself too seriously; there is definitely a world for action films that are set a bit more in
reality” and by Mann: “I much prefer the kinds of movies that I grew up with, where you
have a more relatable threat and it’s a more personal film,” he says. “I was really
interested to do a British action movie, and not a low-rent one but a real one. Making the
lead American just allowed us to explore the British sensibilities even more as you’ve got
someone who can observe and reflect against them. You can have fun with those things.”
Bautista, who’s just finished shooting the biggest action movie ever made, as Drax and
the Guardians team up with the Avengers and more in Infinity War, has no doubt that the
market is hungry for movies like Final Score. “When I’m changing the channel and I see
Die Hard is on, I stop and I watch it,” he says. “It’s fun and exciting and I feel connected
to it. I really hope people get the same sense of feeling from this film. I’m sure they’ll
have a great time watching it.”
