The Greatest Screenplays Never Made 2 Paul Avallone

Soon after being published in 2015, the first volume of these lost screenplays swept through Hollywood like wildfire and was picked up in the curriculum of film schools nationwide. Three of those seven screenplays have been optioned by major studios. Here in this second volume are another seven uniquely original screenplays that have been rescued from undue oblivion and made available to the film-loving public. The Screenplays: Tattoo Zoo. (American Army platoon is trapped in an Alamo-type battle in the Afghan War.) Envious Moon. ("Romeo & Juliet" turned upsidedown as a comic romance with dueling Mafia families in Chicago.) American Renegade. (A fugitive ex-Green Beret fights to hunt down those who framed him for a political assassination.) Always the Bridesmaid. (A romantic comedy, the bookend and mirror reverse of the author's acclaimed "Here Comes the Groom".) Jump School. (Raucous comedy in the Army's parachute school. "Animal House" meets "Stripes" meets "Porky's".) Gunslinger. (A modern take on "A Fistful of Dollars", as the Man With No Name splits the ends against the middle in the drug wars in a ghetto inner city.) China Doll. (Intellectual sparring and sexual tension between a long-ago split couple thrown together against their wills in a search for an ancient Asian treasure.)
