Vegas Knights

Well I don't particularly like putting scenes out there that will give other writers ideas. I'll tell you what. I'll put at least one scene a year in here. The successful poker movie Rounders came out 28 years ago. At one scene a year, that would mean 28 years from now I would have put 28 scenes in here, probably the whole movie.

Some people might question the title of the script "Vegas Knights" because Vegas currently has a relatively new hockey franchise called the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Actually the first edition of the script (it's had a major rewrite) was copyrighted before the hockey team was even formed. It's just a coincidence that the names are similar. But if necessary I have another title that might even be better, so the title should not be an issue.

Well these hotels existed in 2005--- Bellagio Caesars Palace (opened its luxury Augustus Tower this exact year) Circus Circus Excalibur Flamingo Las Vegas Luxor Mandalay Bay New York-New York Paris Las Vegas The Venetian Treasure Island Wynn Las Vegas (officially opened its doors on April 28, 2005) ---so just the front of the above hotels could be shown. Also there are many YouTube videos showing a car driving in traffic down the strip during that era. People would probably be very happy to see a portion of their 2005 era video i

Well remember, Gary's friend was out front sitting in traffic, so he could only play one hand. The whole idea of the scene was to show the craziness of Gary to do such a thing as drink and gamble while his friend was in traffic. For the record, I've never seen a scene like this where someone jumps out of a car and goes inside to drink and gamble and comes back out and gets in the car. So I guess if there is a similar scene like this in the future on TV or in a movie then copyright infringement might be considered.

The following is an excerpt from the copyrighted screenplay “Vegas Knights”. It should be noted that this story takes place in the year 2005 (the height of the worldwide poker boom) EXT. LAS VEGAS STRIP - BRAD’S CAR - Dusk Brad and Gary are now stuck in HEAVY STRIP TRAFFIC. GARY Man, what’s with this traffic. BRAD Oh, shit, I forgot, that big computer convention starts tomorrow. GARY Damn, that’s right... we should of went down Paradise. Gary and Brad show their frustration. [NOTE: During these huge conventions you sometimes have to wait 5 or 6 light rotatio

Well I said I would post some of the screenplay. There's a lot of poker in the script but I'd rather not post the poker stuff because it might give away too much about the story. If people are curious how much I know about poker they can read the following thread I created https://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forum/index.php?/topic/150438-goodbad-comments-sayings-and-cliches-youve-heard-at-the-poker-table/ Anyway in the following post I’ve included 3 pages of the actual script.

Yeah, I’ve thought of Daniel regarding this project. I really can’t think of anyone who would be more qualified to be involved in this. His experience with cell phone vlogging, his tremendous WSOP experience, his film and entertainment people contacts, his casino industry contacts, his many friends who are also celebrity poker players, and some other things I might get to. If Daniel or GG (the company he is an ambassador for) bought this thing, they could change the script anyway they wanted. Although there are a few jerks in the script, the two main characters are basically good guys

Above I mentioned that the feature film "9 Rides" was filmed entirely with a iPhone 6 Cell phone. Some of you might be interested in some of the trailers of that film; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66jY579UPW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSbqZdcvZss I mentioned that my script had several (in moving car) scenes. It would seem logical to conclude that the visuals of Vegas at night would be somewhat more interesting than those shown in the above film.

I have read that with the improved quality of cell phones, a feature film could actually be made using a high quality cell phone. In fact, famous director Steven Soderbergh who directed "Erin Brockovich"and Oceans 11, 12, and 13, has made 2 features totally with an iPhone 8 cell phone. One of those movies is called "High Flying Bird". Another feature movie made with only a cell phone is called "9 Rides". That film was shot in less than a week using an iPhone 6 in 4K quality. This method of filming could be great news for screenplays like mine. Some of you know that I have written a poker

Hi, I know that most of regulars on this site know a little something about my screenplay, but I figure since things are relatively slow in poker discussion forums (not only here but on other websites), that I would give a more detailed explanation of my poker themed script. The script, currently called "Vegas Knights", was fortunate enough to win 3 honors (including a 1st place award) at various film festival screenwriting competitions. The script has been around for a while. For that reason I’m working on an essay as to why this is the case and have already come up with a f

This train probably could not happen in the US because there would be too many teenagers putting things like shopping carts on the track and too many transients falling asleep on the tracks.
