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

2) Market – A dialogue-heavy script won’t make it to the big screen, but might be suitable for TV or cable. A big action sequence script is too big budget for TV or cable and will have to go big screen. Somewhere in-between could be a straight-to-DVD hit.
1) Budget – multiple locations, big EXPLOSIONS, lots of characters, bad weather, costumes, period pieces. All of these equal one thing, a big budget.
Woody Harrelson – Other items that can easily be determined by flipping through a script:
Genre suitable length. If the writer indicated the script’s a horror and it’s 120 pages, it’s too long. Genres have acceptable page lengths. The only genre where it’s acceptable to have a 120 page script is Drama!
Cross also warns Jake, “You may think that you know what you’re dealing with, but you don’t.” Jake says ruefully that that’s what the D.A. used to tell him in Chinatown — THEME and FORESHADOWING. And Cross asks him, “Was he right?” Jake doesn’t answer.
Woody Harrelson – Polanski uses another slight POV shift here: we, the audience, are close up on Cross’s face when Jake “reminds” Cross that he fought with Mulwray in front of the bar several days ago. We see Cross’s face change, Jake doesn’t. This is a great technique for inducing anxiety in the audience: we want to tell Jake what we’re seeing and we can’t.
Cross is very convincing when he says that he and Mulwray were closer than Evelyn ever knew — probably because there’s a lot of truth in that. Jake is not fooled by Cross; he casually grills Cross about when he last saw Mulwray, and Cross lies that he doesn’t remember.
Cross (another SUSPECT) wants to know why his daughter hired Gittes, and offers to double his fee if Gittes will find the “girl” (or other woman). Cross says Evelyn is a disturbed woman, and he’s afraid of what Evelyn will do to the girl. Gittes agrees to take on that investigation. During this scene, we learn that Jake and Escobar had been partners on the Chinatown beat. Cross expresses concern that Jake is taking his daughter for a ride, an inappropriately sexual joke (CLUE). He also presses Jake about whether he’s sleeping with Evelyn (he has too much sexual interest in his daughter — CLUE). More fish here: they eat fish for lunch, and Cross has it served with the head, one eye staring blindly up from the plate (the “blind” and eye imagery).
