Andy and Red’s first conversation lasted all day. Tim and I fell into each other as actors it was one of those easy experiences.”Ģ. When my agent told me it was Red, I couldn’t believe they were giving me the movie! I never imagined it would be that character. “Most of what I remember is that when I read the script, I didn’t know which character to read for. Freeman loved Stephen King’s short story, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, but he wasn’t sure which part he should audition for when he got the script. Morgan Freeman wasn’t sure if he was auditioning for Red or Andy. Oh, and that tunnel of filth - it was chocolate syrup.ġ.
To celebrate Andy Dufresne’s crawl to freedom through 500 yards of filth, here’s some trivia into how the movie came together and the difficulties of acting alongside a crow. The affection for “Shawshank” is the eternal hope that “whatever you’re trapped in, you can find that warm place in the sun.” Most people have some part of their life that feels like a prison, a trap, he added. “It’s something to do with the idea that everyone wants to believe there is a place for them on the beach at Zihuatanejo,” Robbins said. Tim Robbins believes that’s what resonates so well with viewers. There’s also the movie’s powerful message that no matter how bad things get, there’s always hope. It’s that constant rotation that helps make up a big chunk of Warner Brothers’ $1.5 billion profits from television-licensing fees, and consistently rank the film among IMDB voters as the best movie ever.
It’s seemingly playing on the network about “every five minutes,” said director Frank Darabont. Turner, who bought the film’s production company, Castle Rock Entertainment in 1993, sold the film’s cable broadcast rights to his own network, TNT, in 1997, and has since made the movie the network’s most-played film ever. The movie is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its release this week, and if Ted Turner doesn’t have it somewhere on the TNT schedule then he’s dropped the ball big time. Like many I assume, I’ve seen bits and pieces of it probably 500 times, thanks to TNT’s constant rotation. I’ve seen The Shawshank Redemption from start to finish twice.
