‘The Shawshank Redemption’ Director Frank Darabont On Why ‘Stranger Things 5’ Brought Him Out Of Retirement
Frank Darabont, best known for helming 'The Shawshank Redemption,' revealed why the fifth season of 'Stranger Things' brought him out of retirement.
While speaking to The Daily Beast in a retrospective interview tied to the seminal film’s 30th anniversary, Darabont said it was the similar through line of hope that led him to take on directing parts of the forthcoming season. In addition to the indelible Shawshank, Darabont is known for another Stephen King adaptation, The Green Mile starring Tom Hanks, which he directed and for which he penned the screenplay.
