That will happen after he finishes scripts for the upcoming fourth 'Indiana Jones' movie and for 'Fahrenheit 451', based on Ray Bradbury's classic SF novel.
Darabont's relationship with King-stemming from his
work directing the King film adaptations 'The Shawshank
Redemption' and 'The Green Mile' helped him gain King's
blessing for the project, he said.
'The Shawshank Redemption' consistently tops movie
goer polls, as the best movie they've ever seen. This
contrasts with critics polls which are usually full
of movies which no-one who pays to see movie has ever
seen.
Talking about his relationship with King, Darabont said in an interview. "He's always given me a very free hand [with his stories], which is really lovely, Based on how it's gone before, I write the script, I [send] it to him, he reads it, and he says, 'Great, good luck'. And off I go. We've become really good pals. He's a great guy."
Darabont said that he is still at work on 'Indy IV'
and that 'Fahrenheit' will take another three months
to write after Indy is finished. He plans to direct
Fahrenheit as well, but hopes to write Mist before
the end of 2003.
