Solomon Richards, the son of film director [[David Richards]] and an unnamed mother, grew up around the film industry through his fathers [[Richards Majestic|company]], which he later inherits. At an unknown time he had a son of his own called [[Ira Richards|Ira]]. In [[1968]] he directed [[Nelson in Naples]] and in [[1973]] he directed the film [[Rum Runner]], which featured a scene stealing performance starlet [[Leonora Johnson]] with the two falling out over disparaging comments made about Solomon. He responded "Two minutes of hamming it up in a wheelchair and suddenly she thinks she’s got talent – I’ve seen brisket with more charm". This conflict later led to Solomon Richards becoming a suspect in Leonora's murder in January [[1979]] with [[Jeff Campion]] believing he may have been connected to the "HAM" message written on a servered piece of Leonora's thigh placed next to her corpse. The murder remained unsolved although it is almost certain that Solomon knew of a confession letter written by Dreyfuss to David Richards, a letter that Solomon's son mentions while drunk in [[2013]]. The letter also describes Solomon as 'remorseless hack with none of your passion, your creative zeal. He's a weak livered moralizer hiding in the body of Vinewood decadent'. | Solomon Richards, the son of film director [[David Richards]] and an unnamed mother, grew up around the film industry through his fathers [[Richards Majestic|company]], which he later inherits.

Solomon took control of Richards Majestic in [[1978]] and continued to direct films including [[Vinewood Zombie]] in [[1981]] (which was later voted the worst film of 1981), [[An American Divorce]] in [[1987]], [[Arthur Penny's Sanitorium]] in [[1994]] and a film adaptation of [[Yuppie and the Alien]]. The [[Richards Majestic]] studio, under Solomon's leadership, continues to lose money, although Solomon continues to direct a 'string of remakes, rom coms and super hero pictures', which flopped at the box office, using green screen rather than on location. In 2013, while part way through shooting his latest film [[Meltdown (film)|Meltdown]] and [[Deep Inside]], he sells a significant portion of Richards Majestic to businessman [[Devin Weston]]. Solomon continues to shoot the film until [[Rocco Pelosi]] and his associate [[Gianni]] convince his lead actors to hold out for more money.

The filming is nearly completed when Devin announces that he plans to destroy the film, which would secure an insurance pay off for the investors such as Devin. Devin hopes to 'fossilize' the last dinosaur in town and use the money to buy the studio from Solomon's son, a majority shareholder, and turn the area into condos while also avoiding tax due to the economic crisis. The plan is hatched by [[Molly Schultz]], Devin's assistant, who takes an early negative held by Solomon planning to leave it in a secluded off shore location. Devin, using poses by [[Fabien LaRouche]] who had a brief relationship with Michael's wife [[Amanda De Santa|Amanda]], angers Michael who then begins to chase Molly to the [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|airport]] despite her [[LSPD in GTA V|police]] escort. Michael manages to retrieve the film after Molly is sucked into an aeroplane engine. | The filming is nearly completed when Devin announces that he plans to destroy the film, which would secure an insurance pay off for the investors such as Devin.
