Summary

In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two box office successes, one far more acclaimed than the other. Prisoners was the English-language breakthrough film for director Denis Villeneuve. But by the time he got the script, several filmmakers had already come and gone. Indecent Proposal had no such director trouble, meanwhile. Instead, it had one lead star who wanted to quit, and another whose casting got the studio sued. Stories of both are told in this episode.

0:43.4	that's absolutely everything you need to know about me. The aim of the podcast, well,
0:47.1	title gives it away. I'm here to talk off the stories of films and I tend to talk about
0:50.8	development stories, production stories, marketing stories, release stories, all those ingredients that go to make the films that we know and sometimes love, just that the
0:58.6	films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to cover on this podcast have more of a
