Stories I Need to Tell 2 Douglas King

I have been writing screenplays professionally for three decades. In that time, I have written scripts I am immensely proud of, and others that, well, let's just say, the fact they never saw the silver screen is probably a good thing for all parties concerned. I have written for major studios, independent studios, independent producers as well as written my own spec scripts, some of which you hold in our hands. It is this latter category that you now hold in your hands. Each volume in this series includes two spec screenplays of stories I have to tell. In volume two the focus is on men and the adventures and misadventures they often get themselves into. First up is Vodka, a Vixen, and Vengeance in Vegas, a rouge's romp through the casinos of Las Vegas and my attempt to combine elements of The Hangover with Ocean's Eleven. There are cons, crosses, double-crosses, mobsters, and of course a little seduction and sex-it is Vegas after all. Geographically, The Longest Subway Ride could not be further removed from Las Vegas-nearly the entire film takes place in the factual and fictional world of the subway system of New York City. It is the story of one man, who after making one fateful decision, ends up with a severe case of mistaken identity while exploring parts of the New York underground that most people would be surprised exists. It is one misadventure after another for our hero when all he wants to do is get to his original stop and back to the surface.
