Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Callie Thorne’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Callie Thorne – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Callie Thorne and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Callie Thorne production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Callie Thorne’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Callie Thorne and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

Instead of the terrorists discovering their former commander is aboard, they’d discover a wanna-be Navy Seal is aboard. Maybe one of the terrorists knows him from training camp. The terrorists consider him to be nothing more than a nuisance loose on the train.
I’d probably make the niece a nephew. The reason is coming up.
Callie Thorne – This internal conflict is what has been holding him back all along. This would all be established in Act I. Along come the terrorists. Okay, we’ll let our newly-flawed character board the train with his niece and keep the coincidence that he boards a train with terrorists intact. We can get away with it now on a spec level because we’ve established a flawed character and the reader will be anticipating that he’ll end up in a do-or-die situation. Keep the family issues, but make them even more personal. The family blames this character for his brother’s death as much as he blames himself.
First, a larger-than-life character is an extremely difficult first sale. Casey would work better as a wanna-be Navy Seal. Maybe a guy who tried to make it as a Seal several times, but failed. The reason he failed would be linked to a HUGE INTERNAL FLAW. Maybe he lost a brother during a home invasion robbery because he failed to take action (he acted cowardly). This character now has a courage issue. This creates a strong internal conflict.
LOVE INTEREST
Callie Thorne – Not all stories have mentors, and the mentor might not be introduced until some time in the second act.
MENTOR
Also in the first act, you’ll probably set up most of the hero/ine’s allies: the sidekick, the roommate, the best friend, the love interest, the brother or sister, the grandparent. Allies can also be introduced in other acts of the story.
