Recently, he detailed why the globally popular Netflix series prompted him to return to the director’s chair.Frank Darabont explained in a new interview that he came out of retirement to reportedly direct two episodes of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things because he and his wife were fans of the show.
So, does this mean he’s back for good? “Who knows?” he admitted, leaving the question tantalizingly open. “I haven’t missed the business but I have missed being on set with creative people… It may well be one and done, but we’ve still got time,” Darabont further stated. The Shawshank Redemption was Darabont’s first directorial feature. Besides helming the movie, he developed the screenplay based on the 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King. Darabont’s directorial credits also include The Majestic and The Mist .
Although The Shawshank Redemption is a prison drama movie and predominantly takes place inside an incarceration facility, it’s an incredibly uplifting story.
