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

INT. JOHN’S HOUSE – DAY
Kathleen Turner – I want you to remove the word description from your screenwriter vocabulary. From now on, I want you to think of the word ACTION! 99% of screenwriters write description like this:
Whoever wrote the first screenplay rules or books did a great disservice to the screenwriter by using the word ‘description’. Growing up we learned this term in reference to writing papers, thesis or novels. It often leads the writer to write unnecessary details and/or internally-driven paragraphs that don’t translate to the screen and are useless in a visual medium.
What is your Dance scene?
Kathleen Turner – In a love story, there is always a specific scene that you might call THE DANCE, where we see, for the first time, that the two lovers are perfect for each other. You also see it in buddy comedies.
What are the scenes that make us feel the glow of love or joy of friendship? (Or your hero/ine’s growing alienation, if you’re writing dark?)
One of the great pleasures of any story is seeing the hero/ine make lifelong friends or fall in love. Besides the more obvious romantic scenes, the love scenes can be between a boy and his dragon, as in How to Train Your Dragon; or between teammates, as in Harry Potter and Jaws; or a man and his father or a woman and her mother. Or in darker stories, instead of bonding scenes, the storytellers may show the hero/ine pulling away from people and becoming more and more alienated.
