About the author
Frank Darabont
25 books71 followersFrank Darabont (born January 28, 1959) is a Hungarian-American film director, screenwriter and producer. He has directed the films The Shawshank Redemption,The Green Mile, and The Mist.
Early life
Darabont was born in a refugee camp in 1959 in Montbeliard, France. His parents fled Hungary after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. When he was still an infant, his family moved to the United States.
Career
By the age of 20, Darabont became involved in filmmaking. One of his first films was a short adaptation of Stephen King's The Woman in the Room, which made the semi-finalist list for Academy Award consideration in 1983, and was shown in its entirety in the 1986 syndicated television special, Stephen King's World of Horror.[citation needed] The short, a Dollar Baby, led to a close association with King, who granted him the "handshake deal" rights to another one of his shorter works, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption from the collection Different Seasons.
Prior to his directing career, Darabont was a successful screenwriter with work on genre films that included: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob, The Fly II and an unproduced sequel to Commando. Darabont made his feature length directorial debut with Buried Alive, a TV movie with a $2,000,000 budget that aired on the USA Network in 1990. Darabont followed with an extended run as writer for George Lucas' short-lived television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. He became famous, however, after making good on the deal with Stephen King by writing and directing 1994 The Shawshank Redemption for which he was nominated for a Best Adapted Screenplay at the 1995 Academy Awards. The film was also nominated for six other Academy Awards including Best Picture.
After a five-year hiatus, Darabont returned to the screen with the well-received The Green Mile, a film he directed, scripted and produced. Like The Shawshank Redemption, this film is also based on a Stephen King work. The film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture and Darabont was nominated for his second Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay. He followed this with The Majestic two years later in 2001 to considerably less fanfare. Following lukewarm reviews from critics, the film failed at the box-office, recouping only half of its $72 million budget internationally.
Darabont is known to have doctored the scripts of the Steven Spielberg films Saving Private Ryan and Minority Report. In 2002, he penned an early draft of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and while Spielberg reportedly loved it, George Lucas rejected it.
In 2005, Cemetery Dance Publications published Darabont's novella Walpuski's Typewriter in a limited edition. The story, originally written in his early twenties, first appeared in Jessie Horsting's magazine Midnight Graffiti. His 2007 film The Mist marked his fourth adaptation of a Stephen King work, and the film received worldwide praise from many audiences, despite not being a hit at the box office.
Recently, director Guillermo del Toro commented that he had read a draft of Frankenstein written by Darabont that he would "kill to direct." However, in recent months Del Toro has been attached to many other projects and it looks as if his involvement in the project is unlikely. No official word has been given on the film's development. Darabont has also explained that he will be adapting King's The Long Walk into a film. No plans have been made for it yet, but Darabont explained that he would "get there eventually."
Darabont appeared in an October 26, 2008 episode of Entourage called First Class Jerk, where he propositions Vincent Chase to star in a TV show he is executive producing. He appeared in a September 12, 2009 episode where he is now the director of the film about Enzo Ferrari, who Vince is portraying.
Darabont is currently at work on a new AMC series based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead.

A brilliant screenplay, and a magnificent edition with notes by Frank Darabont. This is film school in book form. A screenplay to be read and studied at least once a year. A masterclass for anyone interested in writing screenplays.

داستانی فوق العاده از امید و تلاش..
"قصه این است که برخی از پرنده ها برای اسارت خلق نشده اند، پرهای این پرنده ها روشن و درخشان است و آواز بلندشان نیز شیرین و شیدایی. چنین پرنده هایی را باید آزاد کنید، اگر هم نکنید روزی از روزها که برای غذا دادن در قفس را برایشان باز کرده اید به طریقی از قفس خارج شده و در برابر چشمتان میگریزند. سپس در درجه اول آن وجه وجودی تان که زندانی کردن این پرندگان را غلط می پندارد، جشن و پایکوبی به راه خواهد انداخت؛ اما با این وجود محل زندگیتان به حدی ملال آور و پوچ و تهی می شود که دلتنگشان خواهید شد. و این بود داستان.."

The best of things & no good thing dies
For a very long time, I kept postponing watching "The Shawshank Redemption" movie so that I can read the novel first and finally I have read it.
This novel relates to the "Prison Literature" it narrates the life in prison from the 30s to 70s from the own point of Red, a prisoner focusing on Andy, the genius prisoner who was jailed for a crime he didn't commit then both manage by a way or another to get out of jail. The description of the life in jail is really touching and life after the jail is really shocking. who didn't commit for the first three-quarters of the novel, the novel just describes and narrates conditions and then the action starts.
I really find difficulty in understanding King's language, I first started reading this novel about 4 months ago. but his way of writing and the plot is really amazing. He really has his own magic in designing the end especially of his novels.
4 shiny stars and will try to watch the movie soon (if god wills)

حتا اسکرین پلیش هم بسیار جذاب بود.
شاید برم دوباره فیلم رو ببینم، حالا که اسکرینپلی رو خوندم هنر بازیگر و کارگردان رو بهتر درک خواهم کرد.

I bought/read this because I loved the movie so much and wanted to see how Stephen King's story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" in DIFFERENT SEASONS became the film "The Shawshank Redemption." It was a fascinating and informative journey.

This book is a tremendous filmmaking clinic, as insightful into the mechanics of the process as anything I've read. As the title states, the book includes the shooting script, with scene-by-scene notes from Frank Darabont (the director) on what was changed or eliminated en route to the final cut. He takes you right onto the set to experience all the difficulties and decisions that ultimately contributed to the film's greatness. It's remarkable to read how something that worked so well on screen happened at the last minute or out of necessity. The more familiarity you have with the film, the more you'll enjoy the book.
My only complaint is that to follow Darabont's notes as you read the script, you have to flip back and forth constantly. The effect would have worked better with footnotes or something similar.

The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King
Historical, epic works are rare, but Shawshank Redemption is one of them, considering that audiences – nearly two million voters on IMDB – have rated the motion picture inspired by the Stephen King book as the Best Movie Ever.
Alas, the film based on the Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption story has been nominated for seven Academy Awards, only to win none of them, in a case of unjust decision that can also top the charts in the domain.
The acclaimed motion picture is reviewed here - http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/04/t...
There are some aspects, characters that have been changed for the adaptation that has Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman in the role of Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding on the big screen.
In the Stephen King original material, Red is actually the nickname of a…Irishman with red hair, but the decision to cast the majestic, charismatic, impressive – if mentioned in an unflattering context recently- Morgan Freeman has been a very good one.
Red tells the story of the Redemption and it is seems to have everything, culminating with an escape ( at this point, it appears farfetched to assume that there is anybody left out there who has not seen Shawshank Redemption and in order to decide that would reach for this note to make up his or her mind).
Furthermore, the narrative becomes deep, thought provoking in that it mixes in, together with thrilling “action”, an invitation to meditate on values, the morality of keeping in prison someone like Red – who although guilty of a past capital crime has changed completely, having next to nothing in common with the very young man who had been sentenced – and especially Andy Dufresne.
When he arrives at Shawshank, Andy appears to be destined for downfall – in the movie version, there are bets on his inevitable breakdown – he used to be a banker outside prison, an intellectual who would not be able to adapt to the vicious life behind bars, especially after the “Sisters” set him as a target.
The book is realistic in describing the ordeal of the hero and other inmates, the narrator even says that he “wishes he would be able to say that the protagonist manages to escape the harassment, abuse of violent homosexuals” but he cannot.
There is even an account of the sex life of jail birds, some of whom are naturally of different sexual orientations, other are heterosexual, but faced with the solitude, frustrations of imprisonment resort to getting a male partner, yet others decide to impose their desires on others.
Andy Dufresne is in many ways the archetypal role model, a man of extraordinary strength, most of all psychological, but also physical, considering the difficult, formidable achievement of the breakout, with a brilliant mind, an outstanding IQ, but more importantly in the light of scientific discoveries, he has an astonishing Emotional Intelligence, apparently much more important than other types of smartness.
He reads from one point on how he can change his life in jail, insinuating himself with guards, supervisors and ultimately the warden, all the while making plans for an escape that would take many years, grit, resilience, courage, dedication, Will to Power, phenomenal resources, but that would assure…Redemption.
It was not easy, for the hero had to resist the abuse of the “sisters”, telling two of them that if they want to force him to perform felatio, he would bite anything they put in his mouth and in response to the death threat, he states that when dying, a man would automatically release his bowels and clinch his teeth shut.
Overhearing a conversation between guards, one of them being the epitome of the negative man, who is always complaining – making one think of the famous John Milton quote –
“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven...”
The miserable personage has just inherited a rather large sum, but he is morose about the prospect of paying so many taxes, then getting a car, with ever more duties to pay, the damn kids would be a nuisance inside it – in short hell on earth, when it should be wine and roses…
Paradoxically, he may have a point – if exaggerated to the brink of absolute absurdity – because there is a phenomenon called Hedonic Adaptation, which refers to the fact that we adapt to the material things we keep buying – urged on by the publicity which makes us spend on so many useless things – the Dalai Lama is famous for crying out in a supermarket:
“Wow, so many things I do not need”
Andy Dufresne offers financial advice, soon gets an essential position as adviser to the warden, who is involved in shenanigans and kickbacks from companies that influence decisions regarding the inmates work, but when he learns details that might exonerate him, prove his innocence and hence free him from detention, the hero is sent to solitary instead of out the gate.
There are some more differences between the book and the motion picture, apart from the aforementioned Red, such as the fate of the warden, the manner of dealing with the witness that has heard the real murderer explain how he killed Andy’s wife and her lover and a few other details.
This is an extremely rewarding work, both in book format and in the version that you can see in a cinema or on Netflix…presumably.

Well, i've never thought that i'd read a movie script, but the big fan in me couldn't resist reading the story and the script back-to-back. What i found was great. The writer used the powerful lines in the original text and polished it so well to make an amazing movie that you enjoy watching as well as reading.
August 23, 2010
After reading the story and watching the movie, this was an interesting third look at the story and how it evolved into the final movie.
The only thing I would have preferred is to have the notes in the back interspersed with the script instead of having to flip back and forth. Although this way it did allow me to read the script uninterrupted, but you could always do this anyway ignoring the notes.
I also hoped this would have more insight into the process of adapting the original story to the script, than adapting the script into the movie. But I guess he was writing to filmmaker's primarily so this makes sense.
He did answer my main question about changing the ending of the story. Sounds like it was suggested to him and he came to prefer the longer ending with more closure. I think it was a fine ending, but I think I prefer leaving the story open ended since the theme is hope and striving for something more without knowing you'll succeed. The movie seems more like a traditional Hollywood ending to me, but it worked.
After the storyboards (at which point I think I was Shawshanked and overloaded) there was a nice surprise with an article inspriring filmmakers and working hard to achieve your dreams.
Oh I almost forgot the introduction by Stephen King which was interesting to see his take on supporting filmmakers. All and all a good book, but time to move on to other things.

One of the best scripts I've read. There's tons of stuff in here that didn't make it on screen, and Darabont provides really helpful notes explaining why certain things got cut. There are also nice introductions by Darabont and Stephen King.

Loved reading this script. It reminded me of just how great a film it is. Also found the amount of detail put into the script amusing.

On the 40th anniversary of "The Shawshank Redemption," I've finally sat down and read the shooting script. Although Frank Darabont's screenplay is a stellar treatment of Stephen King's original novella that ranks as one of the greatest adaptations of the past half-century, there is quite a bit from the shooting script that didn't make the cut, and Darabont himself goes into granular, scene by scene detail on what changed and why (and with possibly one exception, all of the changes that were made were right on the money). An indispensable deep dive into the craft of filmmaking - and if you're as much of a "Shawshank" acolyte as I am, this is absolutely an essential purchase for your library.

فيلم رو سالها پيش ديده بودم كه فوق العاده بود و خوندن كتاب خيلى چسبيد ، ديدنِ به ثمر رسيدن اميد داشتن يك نفر در بدترين شرايط اينكه بيست و هفت سال با چكش كوچك ديوار رو حفر كنى البته قطعا خوش شانسى هم دخيل هست و گاها اميدواهى داشتن ميتونه مايه عذاب باشه .
جملات يادگارى ؛
📌هر وقت مردى اينجور به آسمان نگاه ميكند به روزها و ماهها و سالهايى مى انديشد كه از دست رفته اند و هرگز بازگشتى در ميان نيست.
📌زمان كه قديمى ترين حقه ى روزگار و شايد تنها جادوى حقيقى موجود در عالم است سپرى ميشود.
📌اميد بهترين چيزست تنها چيزى كه نميميرد.
📌بعضى پرنده ها براى قفس ساخته نشده اند بايد رهايشان كنى يا خودشان ميروند و آنوقت محل زندگيت پوچ ميشود.

فیلمش توجهمو جلب کرد که بخونم،پیشنهاد میکنم اگر ندیدین فیلمو اول کتابو بخونین.مردی که به ناحق به جرم قتل همسرش زندانی شده و حتی وقتی میتونه ثابت کنه که بی گناهه قانون ازش حمایت نمیکنه.واقعا ارزش خوندن داره.
ترجمه هم خوبه

By now everyone has seen the movie and everyone has it in their top 10 of all-time movie bests lists including me (where by the way it is number one) However when I first read the story out of Stephen King's collection of novellas in 'different Seasons' . While I completely loved it and the other three stories I never considered that it would be made into an incredible 1st class movie. But the magic happened as my favorite author (King) and director (Frank Durabont) teamed up to make magic happen.

This was an interesting thing to read, not just in terms of seeing the script. It's pretty close to the film but there are some slight differences, so there's an additional section where Darabont explains why some scenes were dropped during filming, moments that were improvised by the actors and so on
