Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, one film that found an audience, one that struggled to. Few were enthused at the idea of another Rocky movie, yet alone a spin-off. But a young filmmaker had a pitch for Sylvester Stallone - and the worst case scenario would be he got a signed copy of a Rocky II DVD for his dad. The Postman meanwhile was Kevin Costner's first directorial outing following his Oscar-winning success with Dances With Wolves. This time though, the reception would be very different. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support this podcast: www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.

title. I'm here to talk of the stories of film and I tend to talk about development stories, production

0:48.1

stories, marketing stories, release stories, all those bits and bobs that go to make the films that

0:52.2

we know and sometimes love. Just that, the films that we know and sometimes love, just that,

the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to choose this podcast, have more

of a mainstream leaning to them than anything else. They're films I'm interested in or invested

of cinema of how hard it is to make films and gratitude
