Frank Darabont

Three-time Oscar nominee Frank Darabont was born in a refugee camp in 1959 in Montbeliard, France, the son of Hungarian parents who had fled Budapest during the failed 1956 Hungarian revolution. Brought to America as an infant, he settled with his family in Los Angeles and attended Hollywood High School. His first job in movies was as a production assistant on the 1981 low-budget film, Hell Night (1981), starring Linda Blair. He spent the next six years working in the art department as a set dresser and in set construction while struggling to establish himself as a writer. His first produced writing credit (shared) was on the 1987 film, Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, A (1987), directed by Chuck Russell.

An amazing film, brilliantly touching. Darabont delivers another King classic brilliantly.

Too shallow. Too preachy. Too much fabricated sugars. Too Preachy. Somewhat immature. Too preachy. Another one dimensional pack of patronising characters. Too preachy. And, oh, feels like forever.

3 hour length but it never drags and is never dull. A powerful character-driven film. The performances are what drives the story. I was delighted to see it although I did have some questions that were not really answered by the filmmakers.

    I agree that the performances of the actors are what drive the story. There's really a nice blend of personas in the film. Good cast of characters!
