Frank Darabont

FirstShowing.net recently heard from horror master Stephen King that the new ending from Frank Darabont’s adaptation of The Mist is balls out awesome. No matter how I phrase it, I won’t be able to say it better than King himself, so here you go:

So there you, that’s some serious love. And I’m with him on the killing part. If anyone spoils the ending for me before I see this film I will slay you! The Mist stars Tom Jane and hits theaters Wednesday, the 21st, and looks to be a scary, thrilling, and well executed thriller. The film follows a group of survivors holed up in a general store as a mist rolls in, bringing with it all manners of pains, deaths, and monstrosities.

Darabont is probably best known for his directing of The Shawshank Redemption, a film that received wide critical praise. Or, if you prefer, as the genius behind the adaptation of The Green Mile. Darabont also served as the screenplay writer on The Mist and unless Mr. King is lying to us, he’s done an excellent job.

Stay tuned to FSR for Mist reviews as I know that at least one of us (this guy!) is catching this bad boy as soon as possible.
