Summary

In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a deeper look at a sequel that took a while to happen, and a film that spawned no shortage of sequels itself. The wheels of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) started moving nearly a year before the 2009 reboot of the franchise hit the big screen. Yet it'd have to wait, not least for a definite yet from director JJ Abrams. And there'd be a bit of a post-mortem too. Beethoven meanwhile generated no shortage of follow-ups - but the story goes its original director wasn't, er, overly keen on dogs. Quite the tail (chortle) this one... 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.

The aim of the podcast though, well, I'm here to talk of the stories of film and I tend to talk about production stories, marketing stories, development stories, release stories, all those

0:54.5

ingredients that go to make the films that we know and sometimes love, just that, the films that we

0:59.0

know and sometimes love. The films I tend to choose this podcast, have more of a mainstream

leaning to them than anything else. They're films I'm interested in or invested in to some degree.

1:08.1

I try not to do snark. I try not to punch down. This podcast is a celebration
