#tellusTuesday with one of our favorites!

The photo below is from a well-known film from the year 1994! Can you tell us which film it may be? 









For answer - click here:


A few hints:

1. IT'S BASED ON A STEPHEN KING NOVELLA.

The film is based on Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, which was published in his 1982 short story collection, Different Seasons.

2. OHIO STOOD IN FOR MAINE.

Although the film is set in Maine, the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio stood in for Shawshank Prison. The structure was slated to be torn down, but the production delayed its demolition for a year. After the film wrapped, all the buildings in the complex were torn down except the cellblock and main administrative building, which were preserved for historical purposes.

3. MORGAN FREEMAN PLAYED CATCH FOR NINE HOURS STRAIGHT.

The scene where Andy first approaches Red about the rock hammer as Red plays catch in the main yard took nine hours to shoot. Freeman continued to play catch for the whole nine hours without complaining and showed up the next day with his arm in a sling.

4. RED IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MIDDLE-AGED IRISHMAN.

In the original novella, Red is described as a middle-aged Irishman.
