Summary

In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a high budget sequel, and Kevin Costner's first box office disappointment. The original Speed movie was lean, relatively modestly costed and a big, surprise hit. Speed 2 was pretty much the opposite - and its story ended up being reverse-engineered from a dream its director had. Revenge meanwhile brought together director Tony Scott and star Kevin Costner, but neither would quite get the film they wanted. And Scott didn't have final cut... Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support this podcast: www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.

0:54.1	The aim of the podcast though is completely given away by the title. I'm here to
0:54.7	talk of the stories of film and I tend to talk about production stories, marketing stories,
0:59.3	release stories, all the bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and
1:03.4	sometimes love, just that, the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to cover
