Disney Buys Lucasfilm, Announces New "Star Wars" Movie For 2015

[ChrisIII]

Frank Darabont I believe was considered to write TPM, oddly enough; and wrote a draft of Indiana Jones IV in which some of the ideas ended up in the finished screenplay (By David Koepp). Aliens, the Fridge, and Marion are in his draft, I believe.

It's not that odd, Darabont is...was a writer for hire, and he's done a lot of work for Lucas before. After his experience on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he said he isn't doing that anymore. Aliens would likely be in every draft since that's something Lucas wanted.

Which directed Shawshank Redemption?

None of them, but that isn't the best King movie so it doesn't matter.

loved Graveyard Shift

I've always felt that movie was undeservedly shit on; everyones fun in it, it's got a nice atmosphere, and the monster looks great. That, The Mangler, and The Night Flier are good 90s King movies that either get overlooked or crapped on. Dolores Claiborne is the best of the 90s movies, and one of the best King movies.

It always freaks me out how dispassionate he is even when talking about his favorite subject.

Graveyard Shift is pretty underrated. I enjoyed it for what it was, a small one environment movie with a good suspense. If I recall correctly, some fans of the short story were disappointed that it was a giant bat instead of a giant rat, I think?

He wrote and directed Dreamcatcher. Trust me, you do not want to watch that.

I enjoyed it.

Yeah but we didnt see that we just got a few lines at the beginning of AOTS about all these adventures they were having fun in instead of showing it. What we got is this dude being annoyed at everything and disagreeing with everyone. He only seemed to listen to Obi because he was the teacher.

So, friends can't argue? Funny, because that's what happens with Han and Luke. Friends can't disagree? Again, Han and Luke did that. Anakin was being arrogant and impatient, a trait his son shares with him as we saw in TESB. Anakin thought that he had what it took to take the trials and become a Jedi Knight. Luke thought that he was more than ready to begin the training in earnest. Hell, they both had a lot of anger. Something that Yoda expresses.

YODA: "Much anger in him, like his father."

Darabont turned down TPM, because he felt that the film didn't need his touch. That Lucas had nailed it. With KOTCS, he wasn't bothered by the aliens. His draft wasn't used because Lucas felt that there wasn't enough action in it.

Why does it freak you out?

I didn't say anything about why he turned it down, I just said it wasn't strange he would be offered the job because Darabont did that kind of work at that time, and had worked of Lucas before. And I never said he was bothered by the aliens.

I think some were, or at lets some people were confused by the bat looking thing. There was some kind of weird rat/bat mutant thing in the short story, and other kinds of rats. Since the movie doesn't go into any kind of detail about it, I just figured it was some kind of vampire that had control over the rats.

Which would you say is the best?

[Simbob4000]

Which would you say is the best?

Creepshow or The Shining. But there are more between those two and The Shawshank Redemption; The Dead Zone, Dolores Claiborne, Carrie, Misery, Christine, Stand by Me, Salem's Lot.

[Frank]

Alright i'm drawing my line in the sand here and scarily affirm that I liked Dreamcatcher. The truth is out.

And I don't know why it's so hated.

Pie and bad movies?

[Sonofspam]

Why does it freak you out?

I don't know it seems strange to me i mean i am a pretty mellow guy, but i get excited when i talk about things i like.

Consider the fact that he has been working on Star Wars off and on for 36± years. Anyone's excitement for working on something could be waning after that long. I really don't blame him for likely feeling some sense of relief. Kind of a "finally someone else can deal with this and I can just relax" kind of thing.

Well i can understand that and there does seem to be a sense or relief in that video but there was one that played after that where he was talking about film school and technology and he seemed to be just as monotone sounding.
