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

I’ve had writers sent scripts in for review bragging about how no one has done a film about terrorists taking over the White House. Had the writers – yes, I said writers as in more than one – done their research and actually taken the time to know this business, they’d know that Olympus Has Fallen starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman opened in the of Fall 2013! If you don’t already know this story is about terrorists taking over the White House and kidnapping the President, then I suggest you keep your day job. In this arena, a writer needs to stay ahead of the game if he wants to succeed. Besides, do writers really want to spend weeks, months and even years writing a story that’s already in production?
If you’re not convinced you need to do all this, then here’s a story for you…
Amanda Peet – Why Do Research?
Between these two sources you should be able to keep up with what’s in production and know what’ll be released months ahead of time. If you see a listing in the Hollywood Reporter and can’t seem to find it in any of the magazines – occasionally the studios will go out of their way to keep a film under wraps – then go to www.imdb.com where a logline of the film in production can be found.
However, some editors like to hear books pitched that way. I think it’s risky, and would strongly suggest that if you’re inclined toward that method, you also create a logline that is detailed and specific. It will be much more of a touchstone for your plot.
Amanda Peet – This “method” of pitching was immortalized in The Player, a movie that is a satire of Hollywood. The famous pitch: “It’s Out of Africa meets Pretty Woman!!!” was a joke, and be warned: that method of pitching is a big turnoff to a lot of producers and editors.
You will also hear people describe their books and scripts as “THIS BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE meets THAT BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE.” (“It’s When Harry Met Sally meets Jaws!!!!”)
