Spend the Evening with Producer, Screenwriter, Novelist Doug Richardson

Though Doug Richardson was born in Southern California, he grew up outside Sacramento and inside the state Capitol. He used to talk his way into then- Governor Ronald Reagan’s office, just to get a handful of jellybeans.

Doug attended the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema. For as long as he could remember, Doug had wanted to be a movie director. But in pursuing his goal he discovered how movies are really made: in the writing.

Doug’s first feature film, the sequel to DIE HARD, DIE HARDER, was produced in 1990. He has since written and produced feature films including the box office smash BAD BOYS, MONEY TRAIN, and HOSTAGE. His motion pictures have collectively grossed over a billion dollars in domestic and international revenue.

In 1997, Doug’s debut novel, DARK HORSE, was published by Avon/Morrow in hardcover, followed two years later by his follow up, TRUE BELIEVERS. More recently, he’s returned to authoring the L.A. crime noir suspense thrillers 99 PERCENT KILL, THE SAFETY EXPERT, and BLOOD MONEY. In December 2015, he also published THE SMOKING GUN, the first in a collection of essays from his popular blog.

Doug also manages his own website and widely read blog 

Doug continues to write and develop for feature films and television.

He lives in Southern California with his wife, two children and four mutts
