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

Bet you didn’t know I could tell if your script works without reading a single word! Well, I can and so can every gate keeper in the biz. This might scare you, but I’ve actually seen production company readers go through entire stacks of scripts in a single day. How? Because they flip through the scripts to find the ones they know don’t work and toss them aside as a PASS. Still think format isn’t important? I guarantee it’s as important to your career as teeth are to a dentist’s career! But wait a minute, don’t production companies do coverage on scripts? Only production companies with studio-level deals are required to provide coverage on scripts, per their union agreement with WGA. Smaller companies do NOT have to do coverage! That means you get one shot at it, so don’t screw it up with crummy format. Make sure your script passes the flip-through test.
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.
Wyatt Russell – 1) Budget – multiple locations, big EXPLOSIONS, lots of characters, bad weather, costumes, period pieces. All of these equal one thing, a big budget.
Other items that can easily be determined by flipping through a script:
This confrontation has a TWIST: that Evelyn’s father now wants to hire Jake to find the girl — and the unnerving implication that Evelyn is dangerous (well, someone sure is…). STAKES are raised again.
Wyatt Russell – 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.
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.
