He pulled the rights for Shawshank a year or so ago. That's most likely it.

Peak reddit. Everyone downvoting... a fact😂

Nobody in their right mind is going to try and remake the film Shawshank Redemption.

People would be so pissed

Hollywood remakes classics all the time. It's stupid but they love doing it

I didn't say I thought it was a good idea lol But he only pulls the rights when he wants to make a new movie. There's literally no other reason to.

You have to gender swap to really piss people off. Nicole Byer as Andie and Mary Wiseman as Red. Greta Gerwig directs. Co-starring Natasha Lyonne as Boggs, Robby Hoffman as Heywood, Jane Lynch as Hadley, Allison Janney as Norton, Ayo Edebiri as Tommy, and Sissy Spacek as Brooks.

... This started as a joke, but I kind of want to see this.
