Stephen King, who wrote the novella that inspired the script, never cashed the $5,000 check he received for the storys movie rights. Years after Shawshank came out, the author got the check framed and mailed it back to the director [Frank Darabont] with a note inscribed: In case you ever need bail money. Love, Steve. [The Wall Street Journal] In the years since he sold Shawshank in the late 1980s, King has made a habit of giving away his movie rights for virtually nothing.
