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

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is the example I’ll use for a plot-driven script. This film is the sequel to the successful film Under Siege starring Steven Seagal. The story’s main character, Casey Ryback, is a former Navy Seal Commander. In the story, he and his niece board a train that’s taken over by terrorists and Casey’s the only one who can stop them.
First off, what is a plot-driven script and why is it a hard first sale? A plot-driven script is what’s known as a “popcorn movie.” It’s simply here to entertain us. It doesn’t contain some greater meaning and more often than not, it has no real character arc or a very limited arc, which is why it’s a tough sale as a spec from an aspiring screenwriter.
Brion James – COMMERCIALIZE A PLOT- DRIVEN SCRIPT
The best way to help aspiring screenwriters understand what they’ll need to do to break into the fiercely competitive business of screenwriting is to take two highly successful films and show the writer why they could never sell either film as a spec script and what they’d need to do to sell this type of material as an aspiring screenwriter. I’ve chosen two older, but highly successful films that hopefully everyone has seen. For the plot-driven script, I’ve chosen the film Under Siege II: Dark Territory from the successful Under Siege trilogy. For the character-driven script, I’ve chosen the film About Schmidt starring the legendary film icon Jack Nicholson. If you haven’t seen these films, I’d recommend doing so before reading these two very important sections of the material.
