Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of films that wanted to do things for real. The plan with Ronin was to not use CG unless as a last resort, and to do as much as possible for real. All with the help and support of French authorities. Knocked Up was a comedy that turned Seth Rogen into a movie star - but it went through a notable casting change, as well as post-production challenges. Stories of both are told in this episode.
