Then the main role was to be performed by Harrison Ford, and DJ Caruso (Paranoia, On the Hook, Taking Life) was to be the director. However, the project froze at the initial level, until in 2012 there was talk of its launch again. In addition to Caruso, Joe Carnahan was attached to the adaptation of the film, who ended up working with Neeson on the creation of the film "Clash" (2011). The actor signed a contract in May 2012 to begin filming a year later, in March 2013. Work on "Walking among the graves" took place in New York, and on the set from time to time you could see the author of the book, Lawrence Block. According to the writer, he personally is very satisfied with the candidacy of Liam Neeson. However, this is not the first time that Matt Scudder has appeared on the screen. There is a 1986 adaptation of the book, where the detective was played by Jeff Bridges. However, that film did not get the best reviews. As of 2014, there are 17 books about Scudder. This film is based on the tenth novel. Work on the thriller was completed in October 2013.
