Westlake, which spawned into a book series that including over twenty other novels. He had also been depicted in several films including Point Blank (1967) and Payback (1999), among others. Despite these films, Westlake was hesitant to sell the film rights of his novels to anybody, because he wanted someone to produce the entire series. In 2008, following Westlake's death, his wife Abby along with one of Westlake's closest friends Les Alexander, decided to have the rights for a novel secured because they wanted to see a film developed. Alexander hired a friend of his named John McLaughlin to write the screenplay for Parker, and then director Taylor Hackford became involved.Hackford directs the film alongside Steven Chasman, Alexander, Sidney Kimmel and Jonathan Mitchell. Hackford was excited to make Parker his "first sort of film noir", stating: "I don't want to get stuck in a genre. What I like the most about this piece of material is that you can take a genre piece like this and turn it into a great movie."Speaking with Palm Beach Daily News about what led him to Parker, Hackford stated "I’m a fan of Donald Westlake. I really think he’s a fabulous writer … very unique in the area of crime because his Parker series". Hackford was attracted to Parker because he was a "strange character" and "sociopath" who at the same time, isn't a sociopath, describing him as "compelling". On April 18, 2011, Justin Kroll of Variety reported that Statham would play the role of Parker.Of Parker, Statham has commented that he's "a man who lives by a certain moral code. ... So there’s a likeable quality to this anti-hero."The actor noted that: "He’s involved in criminal activities but he perceives all business to be in some way crooked. He never steals from people he feels can’t afford it and he doesn’t hurt people that don’t deserve it", describing Parker as an "anti-hero".During the film, Parker is seen posing as a priest and a wealthy texan named Daniel Parmitt from San Antonio, Texas. On June 21, 2011, it was revealed that Lopez was in talks to play "the female lead, a character named Leslie, who gets involved with Parker as he executes a heist". Lopez's casting was confirmed, along with Nick Nolte who will play Parker's mentor. Lopez and Nolte previously worked together on the film U Turn (1997).Hackford noted the role of Leslie as a departure from her other work, considering she had been acting in romantic comedies for the last several years, and was happy with her performance.Leslie is a "savvy insider" who's "short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition."Initially, she only partners with Parker for her own financial gain, but eventually becomes romantically involved with Parker.Owen Tonks of Daily Mail noted that "The couple's relationship grows stronger and Leslie falls for Parker as the storyline develops".Additionally, Tonks noted that Leslie is "likely to be completely different" from Lopez's true personality. Wendell Pierce, Clifton Collins Jr., Michael Chiklis, Patti LuPone and Emma Booth will also co-star in Parker.In the novel Flashfire, Leslie wasn't ethnic. However, Hackford, whose idea it was to cast Lopez, decided to make Leslie Cuban, and hire Italian LuPone to play her mother. The Times-Picayune's Mike Scott reported on June 23, 2011, that Parker would begin shooting in New Orleans on July 18 for seven weeks. Scott noted that filming in New Orleans was "good news" for the local film industry because it came "at a time that has historically seen a slowdown in major productions, due both to the oppressive heat and the arrival of hurricane season." Playbill later confirmed that production for the film had begun on August 4, 2011, in New Orleans.Filming briefly moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana from August 5–9. Parker was also filmed in Palm Beach, Florida, where Lopez and Statham were spotted that September.Palm Beach County Film and Television's commissioner Chuck Elderd was pleased with the shooting for Parker. He said: "From the commission’s position, we knew when Taylor Hackford was going to shoot [Parker] we were going to get gorgeous shots of Palm Beach County and incredible aerials, which we got a taste of in the trailer as a plane flies over Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. And the action scenes make Boca Raton look great."Additionally, Elderd noted that filming in the area attracted more attention to Palm Beach, therefore lifting its interest.[22] In an interview with the towns' local newspaper, Hackford said: "Palm Beach is a fascinating area. You’ve got this incredibly rich, exclusive enclave and right across the bridge you’ve got real life. And I was depicting both".According to Robert Janjigian of the Palm Beach Daily News, Palm Beach were "star-struck" and "ready for its close-up" during filming.Variety noted that locals were also "shook up" by helicopters, firetrucks and marine patrol boats, "bringing big-time filmmaking to an area better known for leisure-time activities."In January 2012, filming for Parker concluded in Miami.
