    Default Gauntlet Press - The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile scripts

    From today's email newsetter:

    PUBLISHERS MESSAGE

    We are pleased to announce we will be publishing Frank Darabont’s scripts for the The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile in a single volume in 2018. These two films are considered among the finest adaptions of Stephen King’s work. Darabont will be signing all copies and we have loads of bonus material for each film.

    We are looking for someone to edit the book for us. We have most of the material we need (Darabont has an artist he wants to do the cover art, so that’s covered, as well). What we need is someone to contact and conduct short interviews with actors who participated in the films and those who were influenced by the films (those interviewed would also sign the tipsheets for the lettered edition). We’re talking about some big names: Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, Tom Hanks, William Sadler (who was in both films), Paula Malcolmson and Gary Sinise to name just a few.

    Please don’t apply for this position unless you are confident you can get in touch with the actors mentioned above, as well as others who appeared in or were influenced by the films. You will also be in contact with Frank Darabont to gather material.

    Interested? Send in your best pitch why you are best suited for the job of editor of this book to info@gauntletpress.com by February 20th and in the subject mention “Editor for Shawshank Redemption & Green Mile."

    Besides having your name on the book as editor we will pay in a combination of cash, Gauntlet Press books and copies of this book. Feel free to contact us for additional information.

    Until next time,

    Barry Hoffman
    Publisher, Gauntlet Press

    Do you all take this as Barry has no way to contact the actors? And is hopeful someone out there can? This sounds like a wish....

    Not sure. There was a similar email last year about the Neil Gaiman Dr Who novella. Maybe he just doesn't have time to work on each project himself.

    Well for what it's worth he did a pretty good job getting everyone together for the Taxi manuscript, including getting Scorsese's and DeNiro's signature for the lettered edition. I trust Barry on this, I really do.

    I think he's just busy. I did some legwork for him last year making phone calls and sending emails to authors and agents.

    I passed this on to someone who has most of the contacts already and would probably do a good job with this project.

    Yes, I opted in for the Taxi Driver lettered because of the already obtained signatures of Scorsese and DeNiro. He's got a great editor on that who's also confident of getting Keitel and Foster (currently in discussion). I messaged Barry a few hours ago re this project and asked him if King's signature is planned... We'll see.

    I really wish I could have afforded the Taxi Driver screenplay but alas, at the asking price, it was not in the cards for me .

    Excited for this one. Darabont did a great job with these adaptations(wish they had thrown The Mist in as well)and I hope this comes to fruition!

    Per Barry Hoffman at Gauntlet Press:

    "...but I've found my editor. He's Tyson Blue who worked on The Green Mile, has a good deal of bonus material for the book and has worked directly with Darabont. Seems a perfect choice for what I need."

    Thoughts?

    I personally don't know why the gig was open to the collecting public in the first place. It was obvious from the off, that this job required someone deeply connected to the movie industry. Not only a professional journalist, but someone experienced in dealing with A-list movie stars, their agents and respective press officers.

    Appointing an industry insider to the role is not surprising, but considering the open invitation for us "mortals" to apply for the position - it feels somewhat of a let down.

    That's the guy I recommended for the gig. I knew he'd spent a lot of time on the GM set and had tons of material that has never seen the light of day.

    Has King ever signed a Limited Edition script?

    The closest to a published signed script is the lettered Riding the Bullet 1/52 copies (King signed on the short story side & Garris on the script side.Garris also signed 500 numbered copies.)




    Now if you want a TRULY limited signed King script 1/1....

    Thank you RF and Bruce. Seems unlikely King would sign this but he has surprised me before so here's hoping!

    As Darabont wrote both screenplays I see no reason for King to sign unless he will do the introduction. In either case King will still have never signed a S/L King script.

    Here again the script is by Richard Christian Matherson based on a story by King so not a signed Stephen King script.


    Spoiler:

    Un-filmed Stephen King "CUJO" (un-dated assume 1982) screenplay.
