The Shawshank Redemption
A celebrated film about two prisoners who find salvation through friendship and dreams of freedom.
Frank Darabont (born 1959) is an American director and screenwriter of Hungarian descent, born in a refugee camp in Montbéliard, France. He made his feature debut with The Shawshank Redemption (1994), which earned seven Oscar nominations and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. He returned to Stephen King's work with The Green Mile and The Mist, and later launched the hit series The Walking Dead before leaving it over creative disputes.
After a twelve-year break from directing, Darabont ended his hiatus and shot two episodes of the fifth and final season of the Stranger Things series on Netflix.
In a November interview with Deadline on the occasion of the premiere, he described his favorite scene with David Harbour that he shot for Stranger Things 5.
Darabont confirmed in the interview that he is still essentially retired, but admitted that he missed working on set with creative people.
He described the offer to shoot Stranger Things 5 to journalists as a great experience and emphasized that the series attracted him with its positive tone.
