Synopsis
Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best
Screenplay, The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan
Freeman, is an extraordinary tale of hope and survival inside a maximum
security prison. Based on a Stephen King novella, Frank Darabont's
screenplay follows the complex twenty-year relationship between two
convicts who have little in common—except friendship.
This
book features a facsimile of the shooting script, selected storyboards,
over 35 behind-the-scenes photos, an introduction by Stephen King, and
notes on the scene-by-scene changes made in production and
post-production written exclusively for this edition by the film's
writer/director, Frank Darabont.
Reviews
"Frank Darabont, with this one work, declares himself a special talent. "
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
"I
urge you to read it and enjoy it, but also to marvel over it: you are,
in the realist sense, reading a dream come true, a miraculous triumph
of art over the buck. "
Stephen King, from his introduction
"This
is not just another published screenplay...In The Shawshank Redemption:
The Shooting Script, Frank Darabont takes the reader beyond the making
of the film."
