Stephen King may be a master of horror, but as stories like "The Body" (which later became "Stand By Me") and "The Green Mile" have shown, King is also a master of the heart. Adapted and directed by Frank Darabont, "The Green Mile" sees Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb, a death row prison guard during the Great Depression who bares witness to inexplicable events after a larger-than-life convict named John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) arrives at his facility to serve his final days. The film was a commercial success at the box office and nabbed four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
Although "The Green Mile" is a period piece, no one on the cast or crew would ever declare the film to be historically accurate. For starters, there's the whole "is John Coffey actually Jesus Christ?" question to be answered, but on a smaller scale, the costuming is intentionally inaccurate.
