Summary

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a controversial 90s big studio movie, and a smaller Irish musical. Michael Douglas was all set to take time off before the script for Falling Down turned up. Plus, there remains a question mark over an apparently out of focus shot in the film. Sing Street meanwhile was originally set to feature the music of U2. But things changes, and circumstances led the film towards a big box office battle. Stories of both are discussed in this episode.

0:37.5	title suggests, to talk about films, the stories of films, how films came to be. I taught production
0:43.0	stories, development stories, release stories, marketing stories, casting stories, all sorts, really,
0:47.8	all those little facets, those small decisions, those small moments that go to make the films
0:52.0	that we know and love, just that, the films that we know and love, well, sometimes love.
0:57.0	The films I tend to pick for this podcast, if you're here for the first time, welcome. If you're returning, welcome.

1:07.6	I don't do snark, lots of that elsewhere elsewhere if you're in the market for some snark.
1:11.5	Instead, I just talk two films per episode and then get out of your way. So without further ado,
1:16.7	I'm going to play you a clip from the first of the two films I'm going to chat about.
