Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, the sci-fi film that put Danny Boyle off making sci-fi films, and a sequel that straight away needed a new director. Sunshine came into director Danny Boyle's life over a drink in a London pub - and he'd find himself making a $20m sci-fi film in a tight London studio as a result. With Final Destination 2, New Line was looking for a quicker turnaround sequel than it got - but it took around 70 writing pitches for a start to come up with its story. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support our work at www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.

0:00.0	Hello, this is Simon Brew. I'm the editor of Film Stories magazine and a very warm welcome to the Film Stories podcast.
0:07.0	Sorry about that. I literally had to fly in from outer space.
0:11.1	Come with me.

0:35.8	As always, it's all you need to know about me.
0:37.8	The aim of the podcast, though, is the title suggests I'm here to talk of the stories of films
0:42.0	and I tend to talk about developments, stories, release stories, marketing stories, production
0:45.7	stories, all the little bits and bobs that go to make the films that we know and sometimes
0:49.6	love, just that the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to cover in this podcast,
0:54.5	well, they tend to have a bit of a mainstream leaning to them. They're films that I'm interested in
0:58.4	or invested in to some degree as well. I'm not interested in punching down or snark, really.
1:03.7	I just think it's such a monumental achievement to get a film made that ultimately that's what
1:08.6	this podcast is a celebration of.
1:13.7	But that's as much introductory waffle as you need from me.
1:17.0	What I'm going to do now is crack on with the first of the two films I'm going to talk about.
1:20.3	And in time-honored fashion, I'm going to play a snippet of its trailer.
