The Shawshank Redemption was not a success on release, but has grown into a modern day classic, one of those perfect lightning in a bottle movies. The period film is set in a corrupt prison as a wrongfully convicted inmate makes friends, enemies, and hatches a decades long escape.
Legendary writer/director Chuck Russell (The Blob, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, The Mask) joins The Kingcast boys to talk about his career and his new film, a reimagining of the '80s cheeseball classic Witchboard, and his early days working with Frank Darabont. Get the inside scoop on Chuck's front row seat to Darabont getting The Shawshank Redemption made as well as genre insights and lots of talk of the occult.
