Hollywood, CA, November 30, 2015 – Scraping Bottom Productions announced today that they have signed The Inmate (a deeply disturbed, psychotic, violent, murderer), to a long-term development deal. Terms were not disclosed, but the company stated that the deal will provide exclusive access to The Inmate’s extensive litany of “stories” (i.e. rap sheet) which have resulted in convictions totaling 1,342 years in maximum security, with good behavior. The Inmate has also received more than 20 death sentences which are currently pending, under appeal, or have been overturned due to the evidence having been eviscerated during the commission of the original crimes. The Inmate previously starred in SBP’s short film, Shanked.
Producer M. J. Johnson represented SBP during the sometimes tense negotiations. He also attended the signing ceremony at the company’s Hollywood offices with The Inmate, under heavy security. Things went well until Mr. Johnson balked at The Inmate’s demands for additional “ciggies and pruno.” However, the parties came to an amicable final agreement after some “frank” discussions. Mr. Johnson should be released from intensive care in six to eight weeks.
