    		"The Shawshank Redeption" and "The Mist" were both based on King novellas.

    "The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 drama film, written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the Stephen King novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption."

    "The Mist (also known as Stephen King's The Mist), is a 2007 American horror film based on the 1980 novella The Mist by Stephen King."

The film was directed by a former stand-up comic who also wrote the book on which the film was based. Who is the actress and the director and what was the film?

    The director of this film, which engendered controversy in terms of both content and quality, originally wasn't certain whether its Austrian inspiration should be interpreted as comedy or something rather more serious. At one point, he spoke with a well-known "funny guy" about starring in it. What is the film, who directed it, and whom did he consider casting as the male lead?
