Morgan Freeman Re-Enacts The Shawshank Redemption

Talking of hit movies uh, 

shawshank redemption, obviously you know, one of your most-

Yes, everyone loved that movie.

And yet that's one of those movies- anyone puts there, you know, best film of all time list together.

it's always on...

it's always on there.

it's always on there.

And yet that film has never been a hit.

Tanked at the box office.

And the reason for that is of course is that the only real marketing movies get, I think, is word of mouth.

You can promote it all you want. 

but if the first few audiences go there and come back and can't say "I really saw this great film", then you're not gonna go very far.

Though people went to see the shawshank Redemption and they came back, "Ah, oh man I saw this really terrific movie. 

Uh, it's called the um..."   "Shanksame,   shamshok..."

One day they saw me in the elevator one time says "Oh I saw you in the Hudsucker reduction" 

So, if you can't get word across, then it just doesn't do well, you know?

Yeah, Yeah.

Just you can't say it.

That's why Alfie get well.

Yeah 

Boom, We got it!

Is that the film that turned you into sort of Mr. narration?

Yeah, That was it.

Because It-it-it's so special that-that narration 

And now we have got a little kind of shawshank mash-up, So would you mind lending your voice to us?

...

Ah, Go on, ah go on!

I must admit I didn't think much of Graham Norton, first time I laid eyes on him.

Looked like a stiff breeze could blow him over.

That was my first impression of the man.

I could see why some people took him for annoying.

He had a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here.

And boy, did he drink.

He drank like a man without a care or worry in the world.

I hope to finish this talk show one day.

I hope Michael stops talking for just one second.

I hope people stop asking me to do stupid voice over like this.

I hope.

Uh oh, Very good, Morgan freeman.

Very good. Thank you. Thank you very much.
