Frank Darabont's screenplay is a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's story set on the death-row block at Cold Mountain Correctional Facility during the Great Depression. Starring Tom Hanks, the film is narrated by the superintendent of death row who tells the story of a mysterious inmate, a prisoner with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, who is allegedly guilty of murdering two little girls. While awaiting his execution, the mysterious inmate displays odd supernatural powers that cause his fellow inmates and guards to question their beliefs about everything they hold dear.

Frank Darabont has had quite a rollercoaster of a film career. He has experienced both extraordinarily positive feedback from audiences and critics, for his uplifting prison epic The Shawshank Redemption, as well as ruthless critical backlash, for his Capra-aping story of memory loss in The Majestic. With his first film since The Majestic, Darabont looks to rebound from that career low point. To do so, he is going back to the well that has ... far treated him kindly: Stephen King texts.

Frank Darabont may not have everyone’s full faith, but Spielberg should. If Spielberg was excited about Darabont’s script then that should be enough for anyone. Spielberg himself has written some of the best screenplays in cinema history, let’s not forget.

Frank Darabont's no stranger to horror. He cut his teeth writing movies like Nightmare on Elm Street 3, The Blob, and The Fly II. It was only in the 90s with movies like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile that his name became synonymous with what some might consider more respectable fare.

When writer Frank Darabont launched his feature directing career with two Oscar-nominated prison films — The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile — he earned a reputation for producing feel-good material of depth and substance. Darabont says he won't be ashamed if his latest effort, The Majestic continues that trend, particularly at a time in history when filmgoers could use a lift of spirits.
