Early life
Darabont was born in a refugee camp in 1959 in Montbliard, Doubs, France. His
parents ed Hungary after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. When he was still an
infant, his family moved to the United States, settling in Chicago. When Darabont was
ve the family moved to Los Angeles.[1] Darabont was inspired to pursue a career in
lm after seeing the George Lucas lm THX 1138 in his youth.[2] Darabont graduated
from Hollywood High School in 1977 and did not attend college.[3] His rst jobs after

nishing school included working as at the famed Hollywood Egyptian Theater as

concession & seat nder, watching movies for free. He claims he got his writing skills
from "endless hours" of writing at a desk on a typewriter in his free time, and from his
childhood friend Cody Hills.[3]

Career
Early works
Darabont became involved in lmmaking by becoming a production assistant on such
lms as Hell Night, The Seduction and Trancers. The rst lm he wrote and directed
was a short adaptation of Stephen King's The Woman in the Room, which was one of
the rst "Dollar Babies" and made the semi-nalist list for Academy Award
consideration in 1983. Although Darabont was not happy with how the short turned
out, it led to a close association with King, who granted him the "handshake deal"
rights to another one of his shorter works, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
from the collection Dierent Seasons.[1]
Darabont sold his rst screenplay titled Black Cat Run in 1986, but it was not
produced until over a decade later as a television lm under the same name. [3]
Darabont was approached by Chuck Russell (who was a producer on Hell Night and
The Seduction) with an oer to become his writing partner, as he had become
interested in Darabont's writing after reading a spec script he had written for the
television series M*A*S*H.[2] The two began working on a script for a remake of the
lm The Blob, which they had planned to shop around to studios, until they were both
hired to rewrite the script of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors with
Russell directing the lm. The two were only given two weeks to rewrite the script
and managed to do it in ten days. The success of their A Nightmare on Elm Street lm
allowed them to produce the rst script they had originally written, The Blob.[2]
Darabont was now a successful writer for hire and went on to write The Fly II, an
early draft of The Rocketeer, and an unproduced sequel to Commando.[4]
Darabont made his directorial debut with Buried Alive, a television movie with a
$2,000,000 budget that aired on the USA Network in 1990. Darabont followed with an
extended run as writer for George Lucas's television series The Young Indiana Jones
Chronicles and writing two episodes of the television series Tales from the Crypt.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Darabont made good on the deal with Stephen King by writing and directing The
Shawshank Redemption. Rob Reiner, who had previously adapted another King
novella, The Body, into the movie Stand by Me oered Darabont $2.5million in an
attempt to write and direct Shawshank. He planned to cast Tom Cruise in the part of
Andy and Harrison Ford as Red. Darabont seriously considered and liked Reiner's
vision, but he ultimately decided it was his "chance to do something really great" by
directing the lm himself.[5]
Although the lm did not fare well at the box oice, it was met with acclaim by
audiences and critics, and the lm was nominated for seven Academy Awards
including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay for Darabont. The lm gained
traction after its Academy Award nominations, becoming the most rented lm of

1995,[6] and is today considered one of the greatest lms ever made. It has been
voted number one on IMDb's user-generated Top 250 since 2008.

The Green Mile (1999)

Darabont's next directorial eort was another Stephen King adaptation, The Green
Mile, starring Tom Hanks. At rst Darabont was reluctant to adapt the novel into a
lm, as its setting was too similar to Shawshank, but quickly changed his mind after
reading the novel.[7] Hanks and Darabont rst met at an Academy Award luncheon in
1994 and the two were both eager to work on a project together. Stephen King stated
he envisioned Hanks in the role and was happy when Darabont mentioned his
name.[8]
The lm was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, and Darabont was nominated
for his second Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.'[9] It is also the highestgrossing lm based on a Stephen King novel, as it made a total of $286,801,374
worldwide.[10]

The Majestic (2001)

He followed The Green Mile with the 2001 lm The Majestic starring Jim Carrey,
Martin Landau and Laurie Holden, whom Darabont would work with again frequently
throughout his career. Michael Sloane, who Darabont had known since high school,
wrote the script and the lm remains one of the few lms that Darabont directed, but
did not write. Darabont wanted to direct the lm as he saw it as a "love letter" to
works of Frank Capra and all the other movies he has loved throughout his life.[11]
The lm received mixed reviews from critics and also bombed at the box-oice,
recouping only half of its $72 million budget internationally.[12]

The Mist (2007)

Darabont had originally wanted to direct The Mist even before he directed The
Shawshank Redemption, but kept pushing it back until 2004, when he began to write
the screenplay for the lm.[13] Most of the crew that worked on the lm had worked
on the television series The Shield, as Darabont hired them after directing an episode
of the series and he thought they could help give the lm a "more uid, ragged
documentary kind of direction".[14] Darabont also helped create the designs of the
creatures in the lm along with artists Jordu Schell, Bernie Wrightson and the lm's
lead makeup artist Greg Nicotero.[15] CafeFX was hired to do the lm's special eects
after Darabont asked fellow director Guillermo Del Toro who did the eects on his lm
Pan's Labyrinth.
The lm was a modest success at the box oice, but earned positive reviews from
critics.[16] King also praised Darabont's new ending saying "The ending is such a
joltwham! It's frightening. But people who go to see a horror movie don't
necessarily want to be sent out with a Pollyanna ending."[17] When a two-disc edition
of the DVD was released, it included an exclusive black-and-white presentation of the
lm, the way Darabont had always intended it to be.

Darabont developed and executive-produced the rst

season of The Walking Dead, the AMC series based on
Robert Kirkman's comic book of the same name.[18][19]
Darabont recalled rst coming across the series in a
comic book store in Burbank, California in 2005.[20]
When Darabont became interested, Kirkman called it
"extremely attering" and went on to say that "he
denitely cares about the original source material, and
you can tell that in the way he's adapting it."[21]
Darabont rst initiated a deal with NBC for The
Frank Darabont and Drew
Walking Dead, but was later declined and eventually
Struzan signing a Limited
brought it to AMC, who picked it up based on the
Edition poster of 2010 series
Walking Dead
source material and Darabont's involvement.[22]
Darabont wrote and directed the pilot and was
executive producer of the rst season along with Gale
Anne Hurd.[23][24] The series features a number of actors who have regularly worked
with Darabont in the past, including Jerey DeMunn, Laurie Holden and Melissa
McBride. The series earned positive reviews upon release and the pilot received 5.3
million viewers, making it the most-watched series premiere episode of any AMC
television series.[25]
In July 2011, Darabont was red from the position as showrunner.[26] Initial reports
suggested that he was unable to adjust to the schedule of running a television
series;[26] however, it was later conrmed that he was red due to the show's reduced
budget (twice as many episodes for 20% less of a budget) and his strained
relationship with the executives of AMC.[27] He and his agents from the Creative
Artists Agency have led a lawsuit against AMC, seeking more than $280 million in
unpaid prots to Darabont.[28]

Mob City (2013)

Not too long after leaving The Walking Dead, Darabont struck a deal with TNT to
develop a pilot for a new series to air on their channel, titled L.A. Noir based on a
book by author John Buntin.[29] Darabont discovered the book at LAX Airport and
after two days straight of reading it he decided to adapt it for television. [30] Darabont
was very passionate about the project as he had always wanted to produce a lm noir
project.[29] Darabont cast Jon Bernthal, who he had worked with on The Walking
Dead, in the lead role for the series.[31] Other Darabont regulars cast included Jerey
DeMunn and Alexa Davalos.[31] The series was given a full season order of six
episodes in the fall of 2012 and the title of the series was changed to Mob City.[30][31]
The series premiered in December 2013 and was met with mixed to positive
reviews.[32] The series was cancelled after only one season.[33]

Other work
Darabont also has the rights to two other Stephen King stories, The Long Walk and
The Monkey, both of which he says he will make eventually.[34]
Darabont was a script doctor for the Steven Spielberg lms Saving Private Ryan and
Minority Report.[35] In 2002, he penned an early draft of Indiana Jones and the

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; while Spielberg reportedly loved it, George Lucas
rejected it.[36] He also produced the 2002 lm The Salton Sea, starring Val Kilmer and
Vincent D'Onofrio.
Over the years Darabont has reunited with his old writing partner Chuck Russell. He
did a rewrite for Russell's lm Eraser, they attempted to adapt a lm of the 1930s
pulp character, Doc Savage, and the two wrote an early treatment and were executive
producers on the lm Collateral.[3][37]
He has also tried to produce lm adaptions of the novels Mine by Robert R.
McCammon and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Darabont still hopes to make both
lms some day.[38]
The same year Shawshank was released, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which
Darabont wrote, was also released. The lm was met with mixed reviews and
Darabont called it the worst experience in his career as a writer as he had considered
it the best script he had ever written, but that director Kenneth Branagh ruined it
"every step of the way".[3] He went on to say that "you cant really judge the script
based on what you saw on the screen. It got rephrased and messed with every inch of
the way." Guillermo Del Toro has shown interest in adapting Darabont's draft of the
Frankenstein script when he gets around to lming his own version of the story,
calling the draft a "near perfect" adaption of the original book. [39]
In 2004, he was hired by Tom Cruise to write Mission: Impossible III, but the script
was later rewritten by J.J. Abrams, who directed the lm.[40] The same year, Darabont
wrote the introduction for the Hellboy novel, Hellboy: Odder Jobs by Christopher
Golden.[41]
In 2005, Cemetery Dance Publications published Darabont's novella Walpuski's
Typewriter in a limited edition. The story, originally written in his early twenties, rst
appeared in Jessie Horsting's magazine Midnight Graiti.[42]
In 2007, Darabont directed an episode of The Shield titled "Chasing Ghosts". He also
directed and executive produced the pilot episode of Raines, starring Je
Goldblum.[43]
Darabont appeared in "First Class Jerk", the October 26, 2008, episode of Entourage
in which he propositions Vincent Chase to star in a TV show he is executive
producing. He appeared in a September 12, 2009, episode where he is now the
director of the lm about Enzo Ferrari, who Vince is portraying.
According to the Battlestar Galactica: The Oicial Companion series by Titan Books,
Darabonta huge fan of the re-imagined serieswas slated to direct "Islanded in a
Stream of Stars", the penultimate episode of the show's nal season. Due to
scheduling conicts, he was unable to take the job, which fell to series star (and
previous helmer) Edward James Olmos.[44]
Darabont was slated to direct the 2009 lm Law Abiding Citizen, but left production
due to creative dierences with the producers.[45]
At the 2012 Austin Film Festival, Darabont was awarded the Extraordinary
Contribution to Filmmaking Award for his contribution to cinema.[46]

In 2013, he lent his voice to a lengthier version of the World War Z audio book. In
November of the same year Bob Weinstein revealed that he and Darabont were
developing a ten part television series based on Darabont's 2007 lm The Mist.[47]
Darabont was hired to rewrite the script for the 2014 Godzilla reboot.[48] Darabont
stated that he would like to bring the monster back to his origins as a "terrifying force
of nature."[49] The director of the lm Gareth Edwards stated in an interview that
Darabont wrote the most moving scene of the lm and that particular scene helped
convince cast members Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche to sign onto the lm.[50]
In June, 2014, it was reported that Darabont was on the shortlist to direct The
Huntsman: Winter's War, a sequel to the fantasy lm Snow White and the
Huntsman.[51] A month later it was conrmed that Darabont would direct the lm, but
it would not be a sequel, but a prequel focusing on Chris Hemsworth's character Eric,
the Huntsman.[52] However, Darabont left the project in January, 2015, citing creative
dierences as the cause.[53]
Currently, he is interested in writing and directing the upcoming Gambit movie.

Recurring collaborators
In addition to collaborating with actors on lms and television projects, he has
collaborated with writers, producers, composers, and others. These include Mark
Isham, Stephen King, Gregory Nicotero, Rohn Schmidt, David Tattersall, and others.
Also, Jerey DeMunn appeared in The Blob and Black Cat Run, both of which
Darabont wrote, Alexa Davalos appeared in the pilot episode of Raines that he
directed and Amin Joseph rst worked with Darabont on an episode of The Shield
titled "Chasing Ghosts".
The Woman in the Room (1983 lm) and Buried Alive (1990) are not listed due to lack
of collaborations. (Although Brian Libby appears in both.)[54]
