After a long script-writing process for "Indiana Jones 4" that he told MTV News last spring was "a waste of a year," celebrated director Frank Darabont wondered in November whether there would be any arbitration over credit, given how many of his own ideas seemed to find a way into David Koepp's "Crystal Skulls."
So we wondered: Now that the movie has been finished, will Darabont at last get to see his name on the big screen for an Indiana Jones adventure?
"Nope. Not on this one," Darabont said when we caught up with him last week. "I know there are some common elements to what I gave Steven [Spielberg] and what was eventually shot, but I guess not enough to warrant credit. It's clearly a disappointment, especially after Steven loved my script." Read more...
Frank Darabont is one of those guys we're always rooting for. Any guy who's got both the touchy-feeliness of "The Shawshank Redemption" AND the utter blackness of "The Mist" in him is alright by us. Well, pity poor Frank today, because his passion project, the long in-development film of "Fahrenheit 451" is once again without a leading man. Tom Hanks is out, Darabont revealed to MTV News exclusively.
Only months ago, Darabont told us Hanks was his Guy Montag. Now it's not to be. "Mr. Hanks sadly and regretfully had to back out," he said. "I was really looking forward to working with him again but his other commitments just precluded it. He had to take a step back." Read more...
Sit back and enjoy a hot steaming cup of our links of the day, back again in the new year with news on Daniel Radcliffe, Frank Darabont, and possibly the greatest trailer mash-up ever.

Tell most directors to take a long walk and they'll most likely tell you to get lost. Tell Frank Darabont to take a long walk and he'll tell you how he's wanted to for nearly 30 years.
"That is one of the stories that I have been keeping in my hip pocket. One of Steve [King's] weirdest and most provocative stories. I really love it, and I am going to make that in the next few years," Darabont said of "The Long Walk," a Stephen King classic originally published in 1979. "It is one that stays with you."
King's story takes place in a dystopian alternate America, where 100 random teenagers are chosen every year to walk from Maine down the East Coast. Each "contestant" has to keep up a constant speed of at least 4 miles per hour, and the last one standing wins. First prize? First prize is you get whatever you want. Second through Hundredth prize? Second through hundredth prize is you're dead.
A wicked concept, but one that's not inherently cinematic, says Darabont. Read more...
Seven months after calling his work on the then-untitled "Indiana Jones 4” script "a waste of a year," director Frank Darabont told MTV News that he's moved on from earlier resentment. His script, favored by Spielberg, was ultimately rejected by George Lucas.
"I don't live by the grudge. I don't hold a grudge. Life is way too short for that," he said. "Let's chalk it up to professional disappointment. There's not some deep unhealed wound or feud going on."
And yet, to listen to Darabont, one gets the impression that there very well might soon be a feud of sorts — over credit. Insisting that he still hasn't read "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls" (scripted by "Spider-Man" writer David Koepp), Darabont again indicated that there may be more than a passing resemblance to his efforts, echoing statements he made to MTV in August.
This time, though, he thinks it might wind up in arbitration. Read more...
Frank Darabont has made a career out of turning treasured books into even more treasured movies, but to bring "Fahrenheit 451” to the big-screen he's gonna need the help of some old friends.
Luckily, he's found his Guy.
"[Tom Hanks] has stated his intention to do the movie. I'm hoping that stays on track," Darabont enthused, confirming recent rumors that Hanks would suit up as Guy Montag, a freethinking "fireman" who begins the classic novel as a state-appointed book burner. "It's not a for-certain thing, but all indications are looking very, very good right now. I would love to work with him again. He'd be perfection."
Hanks, who previously worked with Darabont on 1999's "The Green Mile," is "the perfect embodiment of the regular guy," the director said.
"He's a movie star wrapped in a regular guy's body. I love his intelligence onscreen," Darabont declared. "I love his empathetic quality, his accessibility. I don't want Montag to be the extraordinary hero. I think he's much more interesting if he's not the movie hero but a real guy." Read more...
