Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two films that came together at very different speeds. Alien Vs Predator was sparked by a spec script, but it'd be Paul W S Anderson who got the job - and he spent his own cash on something rather special for his pitch. Parenthood, meanwhile, was the idea of director Ron Howard - but bringing together its incredible cast was not without challenges. Stories of both are discussed in this episode.

0:37.0	is to tell the stories of
0:38.3	films. So I tend to tell production stories, behind the scenes, stories, development stories,
0:43.0	marketing stories, all those little bits and bobs that go to make the films that we know and
0:47.6	love, just that, the films that we know and love. This particular podcast is being recorded
0:53.4	at the point where the world has gone into some
0:55.6	degree of lockdown, some degree of, that's an understatement, over the spread of coronavirus. So first and
1:01.4	foremost, I do want to start by saying, please stay safe, please stay brilliant, and look after
1:06.7	yourselves. That's far more important than anything I'm going to say over the next 40 to 50 minutes. I mean, it's not going to stop me saying it, but it's far more important. The films then I
1:14.6	tend to choose for this podcast. They have a mainstream leaning to them as a rule. They tend to be
1:19.3	films that I'm invested in or have some degree of interest in. I do not do snark. there are other options out there if you would like some snark but snark is not for me i'm
