What do these three films have in common? Frank Darabont, one heck
of a director/writer! Saw "Green Mile" recently on video and
was very impressed; only watched "Shawshank Redemption" about 2/3's
of the way through on video some years ago because I was at a friend's
house and had to abruptly leave, a good film but tainted (at least for
me because of Tim Robbins in the lead role), did have the satisfaction
of reading the King novella, however. A shame that Frank couldn't
do the "Forbidden Planet" remake, as it was put on the backburner
by New Line Cinema recently as being too expensive. I was ambivalent
about that venture, especially after what NLC did with "Lost In
Space". - AH
Follow Ups:
Frank Darabont was born on January 28, 1959. Two years after Forbidden Planet was released. His first works, as assistants and such were in the early eighties. Still a great artist though.P
Original. Sorry for the confusion. Fred Wilcox (of Lassie fame)
directed the 1956 original. If you're interested , see my review
of FP in the archives here,(or at www.imdb.com under WaltWhizzer/
AudioHead,etc. - I have my first childhood viewing experience of
FP there also.) - AH
Actually, I prefer a FP sequel, rather than a remake. Sometime before
Darabont entered the picture,
New Line producers approached Sci-Fi writer/editor Harlan Ellison
about writing the script for the remake, when he suggested a sequel
instead, he was flatly rejected. - AH
