Even though I've never laid eyes on Frank Darabont's famously unproduced script for Indiana Jones 4, I can't help but think it was a dunderhead move for George Lucas to chuck it at the eleventh hour in favor of a different take, to the horror of both Darabont and director Steven Spielberg. "It was a tremendous disappointment and a waste of a year," Darabont candidly told MTV earlier this year. "I told him he was crazy."

I just saw the movie. AMAZING. I was lucky enough to visit the set of the Green Mile when they were doing location shots in Tennessee. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I wish I'd been able to visit this set too. Fucking awesome flick.

that is a good interview with Frank. I had the pleasure of working with him back in 1995 and I found him to be an extremely creative genius mind and a good to work with. Frank's talents are pretty much limited only by time, he is an amazing guy. Steven King does write some amazing stories but without the imagination, vision and hard work ethics of Frank Darabont we would not have that "real life" experience of these stories. I would love to see them collaborate on a series.
