Hello. This is Simon Brough.

I'm the editor of Film Stories magazine and a very warm welcome to the Film Stories Potter.

Come with me.

And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

In movies. Movies. Movies that had stories.

That the story just sucks a man.

This is just the beginning.

We would be honored if you would join us.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Film Stories with Simon Brew. I am Simon Brew, as always that's everything you need to know about me. The aim of the podcast though, well, as the title suggests, I'm here to talk off the stories of films and I tend to talk about production stories, development stories, marketing stories, release stories, all the bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and sometimes

love, just that, the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to choose this podcast,

well, they tend to have more of a mainstream leaning to them than anything else. They're films I'm

interested in or invested in to some degree. I try not to do snark. I try not to punch down.

This podcast is a celebration of cinema, respecting just how difficult it is to make a film

and appreciating the people who manage to do so.

I think that's enough preamble though.

So without further ado, I'm just going to get on with the first of the two films I'm talking about in this episode of film stories.

I'm digging back into the world of James Bond for this one.

Let me take you back to 1987.

I'll play you a clip first.

I'll come to the story, the other side of this.

The name that means excitement is back.

Bond.. Bond.
