So I am going to get back to my roots and do a horror movie somewhere down the road. The other one is a Robert McCammon novel called Mime . An absolutely fabulous writer. I think he s only had one thing adapted and was an episode of the Twilight Zone revival that William Friedkin directed. Any traps that were sprung when making Shawshank .
Every day is a set of traps that one needs to guard against.
I think tops on my list is the self doubt trap. You go in with the best of intentions. We were both on a European press junket with our respective films in February, the feeling like a failure syndrome because you go in with these very keen ambitions and then the day always winds up as a set of compromises in one way or another because you don t have enough hours in the day to do what you want to do. Benton put it into words when he said that s why every day of shooting feels like a failure. This coming from him.
