8. It Wasn’t Shot in Maine

Though The Shawshank Redemption is set in Maine (just like the vast majority of King’s work), a large portion of the filming actually took place in Ohio, at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Shots of the admittance room and the warden’s office, for example, were filmed in the building, which was also used as the exterior of the building. Bits of Air Force One were also shot here.
