Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two Oscar-winning movies The likes of Michael Mann and Mel Gibson toyed with directing Good Will Hunting, and the original idea effectively got cut in two. Plus there was a cunning trick in its script. Fame came together quicker, but it faced a fair few problems - including the New York Board of Education being very unhappy with the tone of the script. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support our work at www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.
