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

Formats are determined by producers. These changes are quickly evident to those working in the biz on a daily basis, but can take time to trickle down to the aspiring screenwriter. By the time the changes reach the writer they might have been discontinued or even changed again. But don’t worry because I’m going to reveal how to keep track of producer changes.
Formats Change
Marilu Henner – Proper format has been argued more than any other area of screenwriting. One writer thinks something is correct while another thinks it’s wrong. One guru says format it this way, another says something else. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Format can make your head spin!
FORMAT 101: COMMON PITFALLS
The INCITING INCIDENT is basically the action that starts the story. The corpse hits the floor and begins a murder investigation, the hero gets his first glimpse of the love interest in a love story, a boy receives an invitation to a school for wizards in a fantasy.
Marilu Henner – INCITING INCIDENT/CALL TO ADVENTURE
· ASSIGNMENT: Brainstorm — or be on the lookout for — examples of how filmmakers and authors externalize the main character’s INNER AND OUTER DESIRE.
Remember that in a love story, the moment of seeing the loved one for the first time does not just begin the inner — or sometimes outer! — desire, but it’s often also the INCITING INCIDENT and/or CALL TO ADVENTURE of the story. So next, let’s look at that critical story element.
