Warner Bros. is bringing Frank Darabont’s incredible Shawshank Redemption to 4K Ultra HD for the very first time so get your pre-order fingers ready.
Like many others, I love The Shawshank Redemption. Even when I was younger, at a time where such a film might not have seen interesting to a person my age, I was enamored with the story and presentation. As such, I’m really excited to get the chance to check it out in 4K when it arrives on September 14th:
The Shawshank Redemption, the emotionally moving portrayal of a friendship between men under the harshest of circumstances, stars Academy Award® winning actor Tim Robbins (Mystic River, Bull Durham) and Academy Award® nominee Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy, Unforgiven, Bruce Almighty). Based on Stephen King’s novella “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,” the movie won Frank Darabont an Oscar® nomination for his adapted screenplay and critical acclaim for his directorial debut. Mr. Darabont is one of only six filmmakers in history with the unique distinction of having his first two feature films receive nominations for the Best Picture Academy Award: 1994’s The Shawshank Redemption and 1999’s The Green Mile.
