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

A thriller asks the question, “Who did it and why?” If the audience knows who did it when the story opens and are waiting for the culprit to get caught, then it isn’t a thriller, it’s a crime drama. Adding the “Who did it and why?” question creates the genre known as suspense thriller.
HOW TO WRITE A SUSPENSE THRILLER
Elijah Wood – Horror can be a great genre to help a writer break into the industry. Give it a try!
-The threat must remain in horror. This is a key ingredient! The protagonist can get away or succeed in destroying the horror, yet it will remain. For example, in the film Hocus Pocus the protagonist succeeds in killing the witches then in the end scene the witches’ book opens its evil eye and blinks. The witches are dead, but the threat remains. In the classic film Halloween, Curtis’ character barely escapes Michael Myers when the psychiatrist shoots Myers and he falls out a second story window, but in a few moments he disappears! Curtis’ character escapes death, but Myers is still out there!

A screenwriting trick that I strongly encourage novelists to look at is the filmmaker habit of STATING the hope/fear/stakes right out loud. Think of these moments from:
