Summary

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two sequels, one with a far more complete script than the other! 2001's Jurassic Park III arrived a year after originally planned, thanks to a very late decision to abandon the script - after $18m had already been spent on the film. Muppets Most Wanted (2014) meanwhile faced huge logistical problems, courtesy of a decision to make the film in London. That, and its late name change caused a problem too. Stories of both are discussed in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. You can find the Film Stories website here. Hosted on Acast.

0:32.6	You Need to Know About Me. The podcast though is as the title suggests, we're here to talk about the stories of
0:38.7	films and we're talking about production stories, development stories, stories of films that
0:43.4	had a script pretty much in place that was chucked out five weeks before filming was due
0:47.7	to begin. Those kind of stories, the little tales, the little turns that go to make the films
0:52.5	that we know and love just that,
0:59.7	the films that we know, well, and sometimes love. The films I tend to choose this podcast have a mainstream leaning to them as a rule. They're films I've got interest in. I'm not really
1:05.6	interested in firing snark at things I don't really like. And so without further ado, I'm going to crack on with a sequel, which I quite like.
1:15.7	I always seem to quite like more than most people, I think.
1:18.4	I'm going to take you back to 2001, play you a clip from the film, and I'll come to the story,
1:23.3	the other side of this.
