Summary

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two hit movies that both came together quite quickly. Swordfish was a film whose opening monologue lured in its stars. But it was a complicated action scene, and a notorious hacking sequence, that proved taxing. Meanwhile, While You Were Sleeping was the film that proved Sandra Bullock was a movie star. Yet several other people nearly took the lead first. Stories of both are discussed in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod.

to talk development stories, production stories, behind the scenes bits and babes, marketing,

0:42.8

release, just those little contributory factors that go towards making the films that we know

0:48.9

and sometimes love, just that, the films that we know and sometimes love. The movies I tend to choose for this podcast, if you're here for the first time, hello, if you're not, hello, the films that we know and sometimes love. The movies I tend to choose for this

to films that I have some interest in. I don't do snark. If you're on the pod, if you're

1:09.2

looking for a podcast that punches down and snarks about movies, this is not the one.

1:13.1

I make no apology for that.

1:14.7

Instead, what I try to do is celebrate the fact that even the, whether it's the best or the worst of films,
