Robert Downey Jr.'s New Movie Franchise Story Details Revealed
Story details for Robert Downey Jr.'s new movie franchise based on the Parker novel series arrive teasing the neo-noir crime thriller. First introduced in 1962's The Hunter and created by Donald E. Westlake under his pseudonym Richard Stark, Parker is a ruthless career criminal with few traditional redeeming qualities, save for being unwilling to double-cross a fellow professional criminal. Parker would go on to appear in 24 of the 28 novels Westlake wrote under his pen name, though the character's first name would never be revealed nor would much of his backstory come to light.
