Morgan Freeman called the "Shawshank Redemption" script "an absolutely delightful script," one of the best he'd ever read. He told his agent he wanted in, any role. When offered Red, he was shocked: "Wow, I control the movie!" It's still his favorite film of his own.

John Turturro originally thought he was going to have a bigger role in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐤𝐢 (𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟖). When he read the script, he realized the part was quite small. However, the Coen brothers let him come up with a lot of his own ideas for the character, like shining the bowling ball and the scene where he dances backwards, which he says was inspired by Muhammad Ali.⁣ ⁣ Fair to say he completely 𝐎𝗪𝐍𝐄𝐃 his role as “The Jesus”. One of the best comedic side characters in movie history!

This video features one of the most classic and emotional scenes at the end of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption (1994)", centering on the character Red (played by Morgan Freeman) after he is released from prison. Red walks to a field in Buxton as previously instructed by his close friend, Andy Dufresne. There, he finds a large tree next to an old stone wall. Red sits down to read Andy's letter. The letter contains the iconic line of the movie: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." Andy asks Red to meet him at a small coastal town called Zihuatanejo in Mexico. Following in the footsteps of his old friend Brooks, Red carves his own name onto the ceiling beam of his boarding house room. However, instead of giving up on life like Brooks did, Red chooses to "get busy living." He packs his bags and heads to the bus station to catch a ride, setting off to find his freedom and reunite with his soulmate.

VIDEO | Actor Saif Ali Khan says producer Shah Rukh Khan gave the team of "Kartavya" a free hand to make the film the way they wanted. In fact, Shah Rukh was the one who called Saif to inform about the script that they were developing at Red Chillies. "He said, ‘There’s a lovely script, and I would like you to hear it, and do it’. Then I listened to it and met the director. Once the film was complete, he said, ‘It has come out as a lovely movie’. He was very happy,” Saif said. “Sometimes the presence (of Shah Rukh) can be overwhelming on sets and I think he understands that. He gave us room to make the film on our own. I felt I was working for his production with his kind of sensibility,” the actor added. Directed by Pulkit of "Bhakshak" fame, the film stars Rasika Dugal opposite Saif and the actor said he is a huge fan of the "Mirzapur" star. #ShahRukhKhan

Ahmed Khan: - " I wanted to make my first film with SRK, I wrote a film called "Sabr" for him, it was double role film, a grandfather and grandson story, he loved the script and we were ready to make but we couldn't make it bcz he was busy doing main hoo na tha time and I still didn't make it coz it was only for him and one fine day I will make it with him, it's a story of a grandfather and his grandson. A very nice emotional story, like how a grandson knows everything about his grandfather. But when the grandson was born, his grandfather was no more. So he had only heard the stories of his grandfather when he was in his mother's womb. It's a very emotional subject, and he looked like his grandfather. should Shah Rukh Khan make it now or not🤔

When Robin Williams read the script via Francis Ford Coppola and really liked it, his one question for Coppola was, "Who are these guys?" When Matt Damon was in his fifth year at Harvard, he was in a playwriting class. The culmination of it was to write a one-act play. He started writing a movie, which with the help of Ben Affleck became this movie. Good Will Hunting (1997).

When Gríma Wormtongue sees Saruman's army of 10,000, he is so shocked that a tear falls from one of his eyes. This wasn't in the script. It's something Brad Dourif can do at will, and the filmmakers decided it would work well for the scene. What was your interpretation of his tear?

One of my favorite movie gags of all time is the Black Panther who doesn't understand how a script works so he just recites the parentheticals along with his lines.

Quentin Tarantino says Bruce Willis originally wanted to play Vincent or Jules in Pulp Fiction before he convinced him to take the role of Butch. Tom Segura : “How was casting? Bruce Willis is so great in the film. Was it an immediate yes from him?” Quentin Tarantino : “We weren’t even going out to Bruce Willis.” “At the time, he was one of the biggest movie stars in the world.” Tom Segura : “When you first watch the film, it’s almost shocking. You’re like, ‘Bruce Willis is in this?’” Quentin Tarantino: “Absolutely.” “One day he told me, ‘I read your script. I want to play Vincent.’” “I told him I already had John Travolta lined up for Vincent.” “He said, ‘Okay, then what if I play Jules?’” “He even suggested making Jules a white guy.” “I told him I’d think about it.” “I thought about it all night and realized I just couldn’t do it.” “The character was written as a Black guy.” “When I called him back, he completely understood.” “But I told him, ‘I still think you should be in this movie.’” “I asked him to read the script again with Butch in mind.” “I told him I saw Butch as a classic 1950s leading man.” “I said, ‘Forget Vincent. Forget Jules. Just think about Butch.’” “He agreed to read it again.” Quentin Tarantino: “The next day I called him.” “He said, ‘Quentin, I’m in.’”

I interviewed Mike Novogratz. When his firm Fortress went public in 2007, five of them became billionaires on the same day. He'd put about $10-15m of his own money in. After the IPO he was worth $2.3b. He says it's still the only company ever where five guys became billionaires in a single day. His young daughters high-fived when they saw it on the Bloomberg screen.
