Summary

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, an expensive blockbuster, and a modestly costed comedy. 2014's Edge Of Tomorrow was a sizeable gamble for Warner Bros. It went through many writers, had a maverick director, and nearly ended up with Brad Pitt in the lead. Few saw the sizeable success of Joe Pesci-headlined comedy My Cousin Vinny coming, meanwhile. Pesci wasn't first choice, though, and the original script had a different spin on the character. Stories of both are discussed in this episode.

0:42.3	development stories, behind the scenes stories, just those tales that help go to make the films
0:47.2	we know and usually sometimes love. Just that, the films that we usually stroke sometimes love.
0:52.9	I do really like the two films I'm talking about in this episode. The movies I tend to zero in on for the podcast have a mainstream leaning on the whole. There are also films that I've got some degree of investment or interest in. I'm not very good at Snark, I'm afraid. And so with all that in mind, I'm going to kick off.
1:11.4	I'm going to kick off with a relatively recent

1:25.4	You just came in with the fresh recruits.
