6. King and Darabont

Frank Darabont and Stephen King actually had a relationship for over a decade before the release of The Shawshank Redemption. Darabont had adapted one of King’s short stories, “The Woman in the Room”, for a student project and the two struck up a friendship. As a result of the friendship, King sold Darabont the rights to Shawshank for only a dollar.
