Next year, The Shawshank Redemption, released in 1994, will celebrate its silver anniversary. Writer-director Frank Darabont, who later crafted AMC’s still-running TV adaptation of The Walking Dead, adapted this outstanding movie from a Stephen King novella, and the key starring roles went to Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins – all of whom contributed immeasurably to this movie’s impact and excellence. Next year, when this film turns 25, raves and appreciations will be everywhere. Watch here, tonight, and get a head start.
