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

Writing the larger-than-life hero has its challenges on the spec level. It’s an ambitious endeavor that I must say tends to fail more often than not. It’s far easier to develop an ordinary hero in an ordinary world than writing a hero who is larger-than-life. Plus, the screenwriter has a far greater chance of selling a spec that’s not based on a larger-than-life hero.
Watch the dialogue, larger-than-life characters speak from a position of strength from the moment we meet them. They’re confident, brave and willing to do what’s necessary to accomplish their goals. Unfortunately, this works against developing an arc. For the spec script, the hero should develop into this confident soul and once the arc is apparent he’ll speak from a position of power and confidence.
Iko Uwais – Another pitfall in writing larger-than-life characters is the antagonist. For most specs to work the antagonist needs to smarter, cleverer and perhaps even more physically endowed than the hero. This forces the hero to rise to the occasion and change in order to defeat the antagonist. With larger-than-life characters, the antagonist is usually a clever equal and the two spar wits to see who comes out on top. To overcome this pitfall in the spec script, keep the antagonist stronger until the hero has arced (not a moment before), then make them clever equals who’ll play a dangerous cat and mouse game to see who wins. This will usually take place in the final resolution also known as Act III.
Does this mean a screenwriter should avoid writing larger-than-life characters? What it means is the screenwriter will have to pay extra attention to developing a strong enough arc to make it through the coverage process. Unlike James Bond, who shows up on the scene as a chiseled professional, your character will have to start out flawed and work his way into a larger-than-life scenario! His arc will have a slow, developmental process to it. We’ll be able to visually see a different person than the one we met on page one!
