Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of movies brought to life by big movie stars. Leonardo DiCaprio beat Brad Pitt to the rights to The Wolf Of Wolf Street. The film would eventually attract a too good to be true independent investor. And yikes, would it prove to be too good to be true. Fighting With My Family happened when Dwayne Johnson was in a London hotel room, and channel hopping. He happened upon a wrestling documentary - and got in touch with his Tooth Fairy co-star. 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.

0:48.8	I'm here to talk of the stories of film and I tend to talk about development stories, production
0:53.0	stories, marketing stories, release stories, all the bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and
0:58.2	sometimes love, just that, the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I tend to
1:03.3	choose this podcast, they're more of a mainstream leaning to them than anything else.
