“The Woman in the Room remains on my short list of favorite film adaptions.”
Stephen King
If you’re a filmmaker just starting out, don’t compare yourself to Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption—or his most recent work in creating The Walking Dead—look at what King was doing in his early twenties when he made the short film The Woman in the Room (based on a Stephen King short story).
I had the pleasure of meeting Frank Darabont at the Austin Film Festival a few years ago. He is a truly nice man and we talked at some length about film noir and neo-noir movies, as well as the works of Raymond Chandler. Just a great guy! 🙂
That’s good to hear. If you have any links to interviews where Darabont talks about film noir or Raymond Chandler please send them my way.
