Frank Darabont in talks to direct two episodes of STRANGER THINGS season five

Director Frank Darabontknown for projects such as The Shawshank Redemption, The mist, The green mileAND Walking Deadhe is reportedly in talks to direct two episodes of the final season of Stranger Things.

Darabont is one of my favorite directors and it would be great if he ended up directing a couple of episodes of Stranger things! This news comes from Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider.

With Stephen King exerting a great influence on Stranger things, Darabont seems perfect for the show. This will also be a directorial return of sorts for Darabont as he hasn’t directed anything in a decade. The last thing he directed were episodes of his show Chaotic city in 2013. So, it will be great to see him direct something again!

I have no idea why he hasn’t made any films in the last ten years, but it’s a shame. The guy is an incredible storyteller and director, a master of the craft.

Shawn Levy (Deadpool 3) AND The Duffer Brothers will direct additional episodes in the final season of Stranger Things with the Duffers starring in 5 of the 8 episodes. Dan Trachtenberg (Prey) was originally supposed to direct as well, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

Stranger thingsThe final season will be the biggest yet, with feature films. Previously speaking about the final season, Ross Duffer shared that this final chapter of the story will be an emotional arc for Will Byers (Noah Grappa) and which will tie the entire series together. Ross Duffer explained: “Will will take center stage again [season] 5. This emotional arc for him is what will hopefully unite the entire series. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one who is protected. So part of his journey isn’t just sexuality — it’s Will coming out as a young man.”

When described above Stranger Things 5, the writing team said in the story’s next chapter, “it’s like season one and season four had a baby. And then that child was injected with steroids.”

While we don’t know much about what the story will entail, we do know that the final episodes “return to season one.” Matt Duffer he previously said, “We’re starting to see him come of age, really, which has been challenging for a number of reasons; some of which are supernatural. But you’re starting to see him come into his own.”

Ross Duffer he added, “I think you’ll see it in a couple of character arcs, not just with Will. But also with Steve and Nancy, and his relationship with Jonathan, where things aren’t completely resolved. The characters maybe have made some steps, as in Will’s case, but that journey isn’t over yet. All of that will play a huge role as we try to wrap this thing up next season.”

Noah Grappa he also said, “I can just tell you that I’m very, very excited for what’s to come. I think they’ve done a great job with Will’s character this season, and they’ve tackled everything they need to do beautifully. The way they they closed the show is just perfect: the story began with Will and will end with Will.”

The show is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in the 1980s, and follows a group of friends as they investigate supernatural events and government conspiracies as they plunge the small Midwestern town into an apocalyptic nightmare. The series has been praised for its strong cast, twisting plots and nostalgic references to 1980s pop culture, which Hamilton fits perfectly into.

Stranger Things 5 ​​will be the last time Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Luca (Caleb McLaughlin), Maximum (Sadie Sink), and the rest of the Hawkins gang are all together for one last fight against the evil Vecna ​​(Jamie Campbell Bower).

Filming of the fifth season will begin in January.
