Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past week that writer/director Frank Darabont’s 1994 film adaptation of the Stephen King short story, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,” which was shortened for its theatrical run to just The Shawshank Redemption, will be get a 4K Ultra HD/ Blu-ray Combo Pack release on Sept. 14.
1994 was one of those really wonderful years for the movies. Not only was The Shawshank Redemption nominated for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay (Frank Darabont) and a Best Actor nod went to Morgan Freeman, but so too were Forrest Gump (Best Picture-winner … also winning Best Actor for Tom Hanks’ performance and Best Director and more) and Pulp Fiction nominated for Best Picture as well (John Travolta was nominated for Best Actor and more).
Pick one … they are all terrific films.
Bonus features include commentary from Frank Darabont (in 1999 he would adapt another Stephen King story, The Green Mile … his second Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay) and three featurettes — “Hope Springs Eternal: A Look Back at The Shawshank Redemption,” “Shawshank: The Redeeming Feature” and “The Sharktank Redemption.”
