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

Let’s say the writer wants to scare the audience with a slasher scene where a bad guy with a big knife kills a pretty girl. Just writing the scene in straightforward visuals might be enough. But what if the pretty girl hears the knife’s blade against a closed door o.s. (off stage)? Or what if she hears breathing o.s.? The proper use of off stage in reference to what the pretty girl is seeing and hearing can create tremendous fear.
As writers know or should know, every scene must evoke some type of emotion, whether it’s fear, laughter, anxiety, suspense, etc. What you might not know is how to use format to help you create fear, laughter, anxiety or suspense.
Russell Tovey – And you thought creating emotion was a function of the plot or characters. That’s how amateurs think! Keep reading and I’ll turn you into a pro!
USING FORMAT TO CREATE EMOTIONS
· How many times have you seen the three-in-a-row pattern of a joke?
Russell Tovey – · How many times have you seen a character cluster of three?
· How many times have you seen a movie or read a book in which you see a character attempt things three times … fail the first two times, and then succeed on the third try?
Think about it.
