The Mist - Episode 98

Frank Darabont had been an avid reader of Stephen King novels for quite some time when he came across the 1980 novella called “The Mist” as part of the “Dark Forces” anthology. Darabont immediately fell in love with the story and decided to adapt King’s book into a film that would become his directorial debut. What ultimately happened was Darabont made another King novella into a film with “The Shawshank Redemption” followed by yet another story called “The Green Mile.” Finally in 2004, Darabont began working on a screenplay adaptation of “The Mist” that he intended to turn into a film after inking an overall deal with Paramount Pictures. Darabont’s finished script actually altered the ending of King’s story into something different after a mysterious mist invades a small town, pitting neighbor against neighbor in a harrowing battle for survival.In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to grab a can of peas and make sure the revolver is loaded as we review the 2007 film “The Mist”….
