Shawshank Redemption remake.... this is going to suck.

[Kick Strickland]

Paramount is doing the remake to Shawshank Redemption staring Russian boxer Nicolai Valuev in the role that Tim Robbins had some 20 years earlier.

Director Michael Bay is taking over the director duties that were Frank Darabont's in the original 1994 release.

When Stephen King was asked about the casting change in using a guy like Valuev over Robbins he commented, "well, I guess they're both kind of tall".

The biggest change though will be the length of the movie.
The original movie script was 145 pages long. This one has been winnowed down to roughly 7 pages.

During his interview with USAToday Michael Bay said,


And he's not lying. The timeline of the movie has Andy (Valuev) being placed in his cell at 5:00pm.... and by 5:15pm he's managed to make his way out the front door.

The screenshot of him leaving the prison is telling:

lol I think what happened here is MCPD found this ^ pic at the bottom somewhere, and around that one pic he developed all this other stuff. Lol that's great! Good imagination and excellent storytellin'. I like these kind of threads
