The Scene That Took 9 Hours To Film
Red is throwing a baseball back and forth with Heywood at the scene where Andy and Red first speak. Although it is a simple scene, it was anything from simple to shoot. The brief dialogue was shot over the course of nine hours, with Freeman throwing a baseball the entire time. Nonetheless, he didn’t protest and tossed the baseball every time the camera was turned on. Because of the injuries to his shoulder, Freeman arrived on set the next day wearing a sling.
