Director Frank Darabont (The Mist, The Shawshank Redemption) revealed today that star Tom Hanks has opted not to star in his long-plan adaptation of Fahrenheit 451. In an interview with MTV Movies, Darabont cited scheduling issues as the ultimate deal-breaker for the Oscar-winning actor, who had been set to play book-burning firefighter Guy Montag in the movie version of Ray Bradbury's seminal novel. Darabont declined to reveal his ideal choice for Hanks's replacement.
