258 - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Added 2025-10-19 19:44:26 +0000 UTCJen and Tim look back at “the Cybertruck of prestige novel adaptations,” Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein!
Most of this interview with Frank Darabont is about The Shawshank Redemption, but at the tail end he gives his unvarnished thoughts on what a hash Branagh made of his screenplay for Frankenstein.
“That movie was his vision entirely. If you love that movie you can throw all your roses at Ken Branagh’s feet. If you hated it, throw your spears there too, because that was his movie.”
-Frank Darabont
Branagh spoke in-depth about the film with a pre-cancellation Charlie Rose, if you’re interested in hearing him explain himself.
