What Happened to FRANK DARABONT?

- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Frank Darabont is one of the most talented writers and directors in town but seems to be having a rough time recently. The man behind The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, The Green Mile and one of the original people responsible for The Walking Dead should be at the top of everyone's A-list. Still, in a lot of cases, his infamous temper might have gotten the better of him, with emails that surfaced during his infamous Walking Dead lawsuit against AMC painting an unflattering portrait. Yet, it can't be denied that the man is talented, and compared to some other troubled directors out there, his record is pretty clean, so why hasn't he been given another shot given his body of work? After all, the man is responsible not only for some legit classics, but also some of the best cult movies of the eighties, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob remake! We dig into Frank Darabont's career and legacy in this episode of What Happened to this Celebrity!

His film, The Majestic, is really under appreciated and more people should see it
LOVE IT
WB The Majestic 2001 by Frank Darabont
Budget: $72 M
Box office: $37,3 M
A box office flop
Relationship: Laurie Holden & Jim Carrey (2001-2004)
It is truly awful, embarrassing schmaltz, saw the ending coming half way through it and I love Jim Carrey. But then again The Green Mile is also overrated schmaltz, so if you like that, go for it.
He may not have the longest filmography of people covered here, but he easily has one of the strongest.
Never realized how much he's been involved in all the things that were great from the 80s and 90s era Hollywood.
Why isn't Netflix throwing him money to make whatever shit he wants
Netflix only wants wat Netflix wants. We didn't get a Season 3 of Mindhunter due to Netflix wanting to slash the budget. Two seasons under director David Fincher watchful eye were masterpieces, yet Netflix wanted to fcuk with that too.
The ending of The Mist haunts me to this day
He made THE GREEN MILE look ahead of its time
Good movie...but ahead of time? For what?
TWD was never the same after he left. I think most people would agree the first season of that show was the best.
Agree before it became Mad Max
The first episode of TWD is great and it's a mess after that.
I stopped watching after they fired him.
@@RMartian76Did you mean the first season?
I really loved the first two seasons, and especially liked season two, considering how much talking it was. But something definetly changed during season 2
@@olestokke Season 2 was the worst a lot of cheap drama filler, he directed episode 1 tho, one of the best episodes in my opinion. The episode looks and feels like a movie. I think the show really started to change after this. If you check the trailer for season 2, the entire footage is based on this one episode.
This guy directed one of the best films of all time with Shawshank Redemption, it came out in 1994 the same year as Pulp Fiction. Has always baffled me why he didn't go on to become a big name director like on the same level as Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino makes original stuff.
BTW, RIP Louis Gossett Jr.
The tough guy right-hand man token black guy of '80s action movies.
I wish we could have seen his Indy 4 script made, because apparently Steven Spielberg loved it and wanted that to be the movie before George Lucas read it and disliked it
Frank Darabont reminds me of Bennett Miller. Another director that’s done like only 3 or 4 films and all had oscar nominations for actors in leading and supporting roles with Phillip Seymore Hoffman winning it for Capote. We need a video on Miller next!
Darabont didn't do a 'punch-up' on the Law Abiding Citizen script, he wrote it and was supposed to direct it for a while.
Love The Mist, especially the black and white version.
I remember reading a long time ago that he had bought the rights to Stephen King's The Long Walk and wanted to make it a gritty, low budget movie which I thought sounded perfect for that story. I'm still waiting, Frank! I've read the book sooo many times, now give me the movie!
I got into Walking dead because of Darabonts name, and i never really understood why the show had declined in quality so quickly, only realizing later that he had left the show. It had a lot of potential to be something great.
The instant the show runners made the decision to shoot episodes at locations with mown grass it was kind of obvious he had gone. Who the fuk would be mowing the lawn during a zombie apocalypse?!? The zombies!?!
That 1st Season was still something. Pretty close resembeling the comics
The first season is absolutley brilliant. The atmosphere, dialogue and filming location were top tier.
If he came back and was able to do one more movie, keeping in theme of prisons, drama, and zombie horror, I'd love to see what he could do with a story set during the covid pandemic. I feel like the subject matter would be a testament to his career.
Yes, I realize a lot of that was Stephen King's work. I still want to see it.
As it turns out, Darabont has directed three of my favourite films. I remember seeing "The Mist" for the first time, and being gobsmacked by the shocking twist ending. Even Stephen King thought that that ending was better, and wished that he'd thought of it.
The ending was SUPER divisive at the time
Richard deacon was in cannonball run 3 aka speed zone 1989 with lee van cleef brooke shields Alyssa Milano John candy Peter Boyle
I wish he made more movies, he’s a really talented and creative guy
This short documentary was so well done.
He also was going to produce a sequel to The Thing for Sci-fi (Before the station went to shit.)
His writing is amazing
I still cant believe the guy of The Green Mile & Shawshank Redemption did a monster creature feature movie like The mist. Its like the director of Back to the future & Forrest gump directing a bad Pinocchio movie....oh wait, never mind
It makes sense if you look at the three films thematically. They share many of the same ideas. Judgment, hope, faith, confinement, etc. They all deal with society and how we pass judgment on one another. I look at them as a thematic trilogy. Shawshank represents birth or rebirth, Green Mile is death and Mist represents judgment.
Richard deacon was in Blackbeard ghost 1968 with sir Peter Ustinov Dean jones Joe e Ross Suzanne pleahette herbie faye
Richard deacon was in that darn cat 1965 with Neville brand roddy mcdowell dean jones
Great job on this video! Can you do one about Ridley Scott next?
Never watched it after the second season because it changed so much now I know why.
Yes indeed
He made the best movie of all time. Don't need to do anything else to prove his talent.
the ending of the mist was the best!
From the picture in the thumbnail, he became Walter White.
"Buried Alive" is an underrated movie that's really good. The sequel to it was so-so.
Couldn’t click fast enough.
Is this Steven King short available online?
Shawshank, Green Mile, and The Mist are so fucking good
Darabont & Russell were on FIRE for a while. RIP Darabont.
He died ?!
@@omr1172 My bad. I wonder who I mixed him up with.
@@omr1172 Mixed him up with Minghella. Sry.
I met Frank Darabont at a Women in Film luncheon my wife brought me to not long after Shawshank was released. He HATED what Kenneth Branagh did to his Frankenstein script and made no bones about it. There was a rumor at the time George Lucas asked him to write a new Star Wars movie so I had to ask him about it. I was at one end of the table opposite him, and when I asked him he said it was like something out out of a Mel Brooks movie because every head that had turned to look at me, snapped back to him. He said George asked him but he hadn't committed to it. I half jokingly told him I'd do it if he couldn't and he said he'd tell George. Cool dude. Definitely wish he'd make more movies, and Walking Dead was best when he was running the show.
So AMC settled with Darabont for 200 million? And to think, they were trying to save money on the show.
That's wild 😮
AMC shafted him from TWD
He made 200 mil in the end though
He’s worth $100 million
Well deserved
You know, there were some amazing horror remakes in the late 70s, 80s. The Fly, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing, and of course, The Blob.
Woyyahhh! You channeled the Ultimate One to say, "warrior."
I would have thought darabont would have the next great director. I thought he would be as great as Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino. The shawshank redemption and the green mile are two fantastic films. Darabont had the potential to be an all time great director. Pity.
I believe Danny Glover is a fan of the Shrimpshramp Reduction.
Where I live it gets foggy often, and we still bust out Myst jokes from time to time. My kids are older now and they get the joke.
If the Mist is the most fucked up movie ending you've seen, you need to get on Korea's Revenge Trilogy.
I absolutely love The Mist. From all aspects story, acting and picture, it seems perfect. Surprised it didn't get more attention. But I am admittedly biased being a huge fan of the novella from Skeleton Crew. I hear even King was surprised and loved the way Frank ended it. FYI it's not the same ending.
I did a quick look around and don't see anything on his passing so pray that he's still with us.
Are you guys ever going to do a best movie you never saw episode on gladiator 1992?
Even Mob City was pretty great
Frank Darabont is one of the sophisticated directors who embraces film technology but doesn't compromise classic style. How I would love to listen to a conversation between Frank and David Fincher.
So making $70 plus million off a $20 plus million budget is a box office bomb?
Why don't people understand that the movie theaters get around half of the money from ticket sales? They also forget to add in marketing costs which are separate from the movie budgets.
The production budget was $25 million, and marketing budget is typically half of the production budgets, so add $12.5 million for a total of $37.5 million cost to the studio.
The movie grossed $73.3 million total. Half of that would be $36.65 million against the $37.5 million spent. It was a box office bomb for the studio.
When AMC fired him on "The Walking Dead" the show slowly deteriorated!

WTF Happened to RENNY HARLIN ??? He was doing solid movies in the 90s like Die hard 2, The long kiss goodnight, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue sea and even Cutthroat Island was fun even if was a flop
You answered your own question.
He’s making a trilogy of those stranger films and has another shark movie on the way.
Richard deacon was in best in show 2000 with Jennifer Coolidge
The Shawshank Redemption is the single greatest film ever made. It is not my favourite film of all-time, but it is absolutely the "best". If you disagree with me, you are wrong.
love this guys films !!

Great director frank Darabont frank Darabont directed great masterpieces the Shawshank redemption the mist the green mile
WTF happened to Richard deacon
I so want him to return
Began at the beggining where the beggining began...cringe as fuck as always.Love it.
I would argue that Darabont is much more talented than Tarentino (who is way over praised).
Not only is the first episode of TWD the best of the series, but it's also the only good episode. XD I don't care how good other episodes might be. When they're surrounded by terrible, waste-of-time episodes, the good episodes are never good enough.
what happen to ....Mark Romanek ??
He's got competition with Mike Flannagan...
👍👍👍🎥
Boss can you leave the light on? I get scared in the dark 😢😢
I'm guessing the narrator of this video is not a Jim Carrey fan 🤔
What made you think that?
@@jothishprabu8 Oh just a hunch I guess. Maybe I saw it in a movie once. 🤔
He didn't say anything negative about Carrey. The majestic was just a bomb
@@jr2904 U oversly dont get my sense of humor. No worries. 😂

Ehhh he is alive
@@novistador9844 yes I know now. Thank You 😊
@@user-bl6lh8wh2x but your said rip
an AMC kicked his shawshank to the curb, and the long time to money
Best director ever.
Do Viggo Mortenson.
Again, love the content, hate the delivery (uninspired, annoying, cloying, like a 7 year old who can't think of a better way to speak their lines and just riffs in the most basic, tone def way)
Frank RULES!
*Sony Tristar pictures Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1994 by Kenneth Branagh*
*Frank Darabont screenwriter*
*Emma Thompson wed actor Kenneth Branagh in 1989 and ended their marriage in 1995 following his AFFAIR with Helena Bonham Carter. The actor was unfaithful a Emma Thompson with Helena Bonham Carter are believed in 1994 when they worked together in the film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Frank Darabont*
I read that Darabont passed away 😞
I did a look around I'm not finding that story - hope he hasn't
😊 No he is still alive 😊😊🎉
🛡️🤌
HE& QT! 🍼
What happened to Frank Darabont? He has been living of the reputation of Shawshank.
He made The Green Mile and the best season of the walking dead... I don't think he has been coasting off of the one film LoL
🚶☠️$1! ENUF!
👍 200M$ ⛱️😅
Darabont's done the best SK movies. it would have been nice to hear about them and him without the dumb voices this guy does on all these videos. and it's completely unfunny.
Never heard of him.
Quit telling me to do the fucking math. It's your video.
George Lucas strikes again
Survey says: Who gives af
*X* nope
WTF HAPPENED TO TJ MILLER
"Taylor James Johnson" stop trying to be funny..cause you fail spectacularly at it. Joblo fire this guy ASAP!
This narrator is hella annoying
Frank's crapping in a bed pan hes done with life
And yet, he's living a better life than you ever achieved
Frank Darabont is one of the most overrated filmmakers out there. The Shawshank Redemption is a great movie, but best ever? Not even top 50 for me. The Green Mile and The Majestic are completely overrated and The Mist was good until the ending, whoch makes no sense, unless the enemy was Bubba Ho-Tep, that dying from the evil was worse than death, which nothing suggested.
The point of the ending was that they all would have lived if he had waited a few more minutes before shooting them. Fear of the unknown and hopelessness can cause people to act irrationally, which was the entire theme of the movie.
