{{main|Money Train}}

Scott was initially signed to direct the heist film ''[[Money Train]]'', and had developed the script with writer [[Doug Richardson]], even going as far as to go "undercover" with a Subway Crime Suppression Unit for research. He wanted to shoot the film entirely in the [[New York City Subway|New York subway systems]], but the head of the [[New York City Transit Authority|Transit Authority]] told them that he must have final script and casting approvable in order for them to gain authorization. Scott ultimately chose not to stay with the film, and, instead, [[Joseph Ruben]] was brought on to direct, who, according to Richardson, had him "replaced by a [[DMV|Department of motor vehicles|DMV]] line of writers who slowly dismantled the movie [he'd] so carefully constructed".<ref>{{cite web|last=Richardson|first=Doug|url=https://scriptmag.com/features/behind-the-lines-with-dr-tony-scott-me-and-king-ding-a-ling|title=Behind the Lines with DR: Tony Scott, Me, and King Ding-a-Ling|website=Script Magazine|date=August 20, 2012|access-date=December 8, 2023}}</ref>
