The film was originally created because Gordon Gray and Marc Siyadi, the producers of many sports works, wanted to make a completely different experiment in order to make the film more interesting. And Johnson was chosen because he is an action actor that two producers have always wanted to collaborate with but never met. Afterwards, Gordon Gray and Mark Siyadi had a formal meeting with Johnson. The few people hit it off and began to study the feasibility of the project, and the possibility of cooperation gradually emerged.
Gray and Siyadi both like movies where small characters can also be big successes, but they can't connect "Big Rock" Johnson with small people, so they started to think about other directions. Because "Big Rock" Johnson played rugby and had a young daughter when he was in school at the University of Miami, they and Millard combined Johnson's life with the story of the film, so "The Game Plan" was created.
