Despair: The Screenplay

In film and television, thousands of fine scripts by established writers are never produced. The Black Coat Script Library is dedicated to presenting some of those scripts. A man survives a car crash only to find himself trapped in a private clinic at the mercy of its lunatic owner, the terrifying DOCTOR DESPAIR. The Doctor seeks to use him as a pawn in a monstrous scheme of revenge against the wife who once betrayed him. The hero struggles to save her but in Dr. Despair’s asylum, no one is ever sure of what is a lie and what is the awful truth. Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier have co-authored five screenplays, a number of animation teleplays, including Duck Tales and The Real Ghostbusters, a dozen books and numerous comic books and translations. Randy is a member of the Writers Guild of America, West and Mystery Writers of America. Despair is an adaptation of a classic horror novel by renowned French author Marc Agapit (1897-1985).
