Book: STEPHEN KING GOES TO THE MOVIES by Stephen KingFor the first time in one volume, each with a fascinating introduction, come the stories of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, Hearts in Atlantis (Low Men in Yellow Coats), 1408, The Mangler and Children of the Corn.
These five classic tales were turned into successful international films starring some of the world's most famous actors from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption through Anthony Hopkins in Hearts in Atlantis to John Cusack in 1408.
Film: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994) Dir. Frank Darabont
In the lead roles, both Robbins and Freeman are outstanding, layering their performances with snippets of individuality: Their small, daily sustenances and minor triumphs are wonderfully inspiring. Technical contributions are well-crafted, particularly cinematographer Roger Deakins‘ forbidding lensing. Filmed in a garrison-like former prison in Mansfield, Ohio, Shawshank is often overwhelming in its depiction of the granite-cold, stony horror of prison life. Most splendid is Thomas Newman’s somber score, which, at its best moments, alights with radiant textures and sprightly grace notes, nicely emblematic of the film’s central theme. - The Hollywood Reporter
