Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Eddie Izzard’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Eddie Izzard – 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 Eddie Izzard 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 Eddie Izzard 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 Eddie Izzard’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, Eddie Izzard 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.

HOW TO WRITE A HORROR SCRIPT
Every screenwriter should have at least one (1) low-budget script in his portfolio. It’s important for several reasons: 1) most screenwriters make their first break in the low-budget arena because studios aren’t likely to take a risk on a first-timer in regards to a high-budget film 2) a low-budget feature sale is the same as any sale and can put the screenwriter in a position to sell larger projects 3) if it’s really low-budget the screenwriter might be able to direct it or maybe not
Eddie Izzard – Reducing or eliminating the areas above will substantially decrease the cost of the film. If you still want a big explosion at the climax, then reduce the number of locations or the total cast. If you want those computer generated SPX in a few scenes, then reduce the location and cast, etc.
#NAME?
Another inevitable element of the training sequence is PLANTS AND PAYOFFS. For example, we learn that the hero/ine (and/or other members of the team) has a certain weakness in battle. That weakness will naturally have to be tested in the final battle. A great illustration of this is in The Empire Strikes Back: Yoda continually gets angry with Luke for not trusting the Force… then in his final battle with Vader, Luke’s only chance of survival is putting his entire fate in the hands of the Force he’s not sure he believes in. It’s a lovely moment of spiritual transcendence.
Eddie Izzard – There’s often a SERIES OF TESTS designed by the mentor (look at An Officer and A Gentleman and The Silence of the Lambs). And even if there isn’t a mentor character putting the protagonist through tests, the antagonist or the Universe will be throwing tests at the main character.
There is also often a TRAINING SEQUENCE in the first half of the second act. In a mentor movie, this is a pretty obligatory sequence. Think of Karate Kid and The Matrix and that priceless Meeting the Mentor/Training sequence that introduces Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back, and Baby’s dance training in Dirty Dancing.
But even if you’re not writing an overtly ensemble story or specialist team action story, there’s almost always a sense of assembling a team in the first act or first half of the second act. (Dorothy meeting the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion on the yellow brick road in The Wizard of Oz; Harry meeting Ron, Hermione and Neville on the train in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone…) Because it’s just life: when we have a strong, life-changing desire, we tend to call on our friends and relatives and colleagues for help; or if we declare our intention to the Universe, then previously unknown allies show up who can help. The next few movies you watch, make a point of looking for the hero/ine’s team, and you’ll start to see this important element in action.
