The novel "The Green Mile", which was filmed on the same film was written by King in 1996. By this time it was released films about the notorious prison Shawshank. But the author is so impressed with the theme of correctional institutions lifers or criminals sentenced to death, he continued in her new novel, providing a theme other philosophical reflections, unexpected plot moves and brilliantly written out the characters of the protagonists. Not without its mystical moments that made the novel very unexpected and truly breathtaking.
Film based on the novel, and in many ways appropriate to their literary predecessors. Actors playing the main and secondary characters, matched very well, they just are what they describe the king of terrors.
"The Green Mile" was called the corridor through which must pass the convict to the electric chair. Those last few tens of steps that lead to death. In US prisons such a path is called the "last mile", but in the building, which is narrated in the film, this was the green mile, making it and it was so called.
Naturally, a film about prison, or rather even to a small group of suicide bombers and the relationship between them. But the plot will not talk, it can be estimated by looking at the movie itself, read a book. Let's talk about how the picture was shot.
One of the biggest challenges for the filmmakers Frank Darabont had to pick the right actors. Seemingly, nothing complicated. But the problem arose immediately. The fact that the plot of Stephen King Beast - incredibly large in itself. And just incredibly good-natured. Though he is huge, but, nevertheless, not hurt a fly. For this character actor picked up quickly. They became David Morse - a man tall and strong.
The problem arose with John Coffey. It was to be, first, black, and, secondly, incredible giant. In comparison, the Beast - like a kid, and it's not just stressed by the King in the book. Find an actor seemed impossible. Himself Bruce Willis, recently starring in "Armageddon", recommended for the role of Mark Clarke Duncan, partner "Die Hard" in this film.
Externally, the actor approached. But its growth - no. The catch turned out that David Morse just a few centimeters below the Mark Clark Duncan. Filmmakers had to go to all sorts of tricks to show gigantism Coffey.
Mice also had problems. The fact that they are intelligent animals, though, but still before the intellect of Mr. Dzhinglsa them far. Therefore, in the role of a talented little mouse were used 30 eared cheese lovers. Everyone was given the name of any member of the crew. While no animals were harmed.
Now about the instrument of execution - the electric chair. He certainly was not present. However, to build a machine of death on real drawings. In a basis the model that existed in the days of the Depression. The king decided to sit inside a horror scary machine. King wanted to feel the feelings of convicts. According to him, the experience was terrible.
Place to shoot steel 2 States: Tennessee and North Carolina. Very interesting episode in which Paul Coffey treated. According to the book, like the script, he had to grab the overseer for the groin, in fact there was an infection. Mark Clarke Duncan very shy to do it, and could not overcome the feeling. Then Tom Hanks, who plays Paul Edgecombe, shoved his pants usually empty bottle. So the issue was resolved, and the scene is filmed.
In the film, one of the characters is entertaining mouse, which was named after Mr. Dzhinglz. In the shooting involved more than 30 mice. Together, they represented the whole crew and after real actors they were given their own names.
Mouse, even the champions among centenarians, still can not overcome the barrier of 7 years. Mr. Dzhingls, judging by the story, lived for no less than 64-65 years. Hands Coffey has a truly magical properties.
The novel was written in parts, and the first published separate pamphlets.
"The Green Mile" by Stephen King received the award «Stoker» in the nomination "The best novel of 1996»
Stephen King until the end of writing the book could not decide how to finish the story of John Coffey - he remains alive or not.
