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

In an animation, the writer is the director. That means the writer will be adding camera angles and other directorial references that will length the script. Most spec writers won’t add camera angles, even if the genre is animation. I’d recommend steering clear of angles.
ANIMATION: 115-120 pages
Téa Leoni – Unlike action, the action/adventure relies more heavily on exotic backdrops mixed with dialogue, so the writer can get away with a longer page count.
ACTION/ADVENTURE: 100-115 pages
In this next chamber Harry is stunned to find not Snape, but Quirrell, standing in front of the mirror. (TWIST). Now Harry realizes that Snape was trying to save him with a counter spell during the Quidditch match; it was Quirrell who was trying to kill him (REVELATION). Quirrell unwraps his turban, and we see that he is two-faced (THEME). Voldemort has been living in the back of his head as a parasite. (Don’t ask me how this works; it’s still a mystery to me.) (TRUE NATURE OF OPPONENT REVEALED.) Voldemort orders Quirrell to use Harry to find the stone, and Harry looks into the mirror and sees the stone in his own trouser pocket. He lies and tells Quirrell all he can see in the mirror is himself winning the Quidditch cup (PAYOFF of the scene with Harry and Ron looking in the mirror).
Téa Leoni – Harry goes in alone for the FINAL BATTLE. Joseph Campbell talks about the hero entering the INMOST CAVE — in this story it’s a literal cave!
SEQUENCE TEN
[2.00] The next chamber is huge, and inside the three kids find a gigantic chessboard. The chess pieces are animate and prevent the kids from crossing; Ron realizes they must play the game to advance. Ron, the chess genius, plays out the game with Harry and Hermione and himself as living pieces (PAYOFF of Wizard Chess PLANT). To win the game, Ron sacrifices himself so that Harry can go on. Ron is felled by a bishop, and Harry wins the game. He leaves Hermione to tend to Ron, and Hermione tells Harry he can do it. (LOSS OF ALLY.) We see Hermione’s CHARACTER ARC as she admits that cleverness and learning don’t mean anything compared to friendship and courage.
