- First impressions/background....
#299ENGL #shawshank The mug shot in Red's parole file is of Morgan Freeman's son.- #299ENGL #shawshank Director Frank Darabont drew inspiration for voice overs by watching Goodfellas every Sunday during filming/writing
- #299ENGL #shawshank Lead originally offered to Tom Hanks, who couldn't take it because of conflicts with the filming of Forest Gump.
- #299ENGL #shawshank Other actors considered for Andy: Cruise, Cage, Depp, Sheen. Kevin Costner turned role down to film Waterworld.
@CopeWrites #299ENGL I'm glad that Tim Robbins got the lead role, I could't imagine anyone else. What an amazing role!- @CopeWrites #299ENGL I wish Morgan Freeman could narrate my life, but instead I'll settle for Shawshank Redemption :)
