In conversation with Andrew Davis - Disturbing The Bones, The Fugitive, Holes, Stony Island, Under Siege and more 1:08:19

1d ago1:08:19

1:08:19

In a very special episode of Film Stories, Simon is joined by Andrew Davis, perhaps best known for directing films such as The Fugitive, Under Siege, Holes and more. Those movies certainly come up in the extensive conversation between the pair. Davis has also, with Jeff Biggers, written his first novel, Disturbing The Bones, and there's a strong mo…

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and Juror #2 (2024) 59:15

4d ago59:15

59:15

In the final regular Film Stories episode of 2024, we start with a 1989 movie that's gone on to become something of a Christmas favourite. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation saw John Hughes writing again, and a first time director in Jeremiah Chechik. The former protected the latter from studio notes, and even a potential lack of snow turned int…

In conversation with director J C Chandor: Margin Call, Kraven The Hunter, All Is Lost and more 35:19

8d ago35:19

35:19

It took some time for writer/director J C Chandor to break into the movie business. When he did, it was with the mini-budget Margin Call, a film that would snag him an Oscar nomination. Since then, he's brought to the screen All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year, Triple Frontier and now Kraven The Hunter, arguably his highest profile feature to date. In…

Dirty Harry (1971) and Anita And Me (2002) 55:44

12d ago55:44

55:44

It's fairly well known that the role of Detective Harry Callahan was originally set to be played by Frank Sinatra, before he had to pull out as production neared. Yet when Clint Eastwood decided to accept, he had several versions of a script to choose from - and decided to put a call into someone he trusted: Don Siegel. The pair would go on to fash…

In conversation with Kevin Smith - The 4.30 Movie, Waterworld, indie cinema and more 41:57

16d ago41:57

41:57

In a potty-mouthed Film Stories podcast special, Simon welcomes back Kevin Smith. It's a chat centred around Smith's new film,. The 4.30 Movie - and how he came to make it. That tale involves buying a cinema, and digging deep into his own youth. Beyond that, they chat about the length of the end credits, they segue into Waterworld, and consider som…

In conversation with Kevin Costner and John Debney - Horizon: An American Saga, and more 51:21

19d ago51:21

51:21

In a special episode of Film Stories, Simon is joined by Kevin Costner and John Debney. Costner is, of course, the star, director and co-writer of Horizon: An American Saga, which he conceived and part-financed. Debney is a composer working on his fourth Kevin Costner-related project. The pair share their stories of making Horizon. The conversation…

In conversation with Jared Bush, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios 41:50

23d ago41:50

41:50

In a very special episode of the podcast, the Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios - Oscar-winner Jared Bush - joins Simon for a chat about his work and career. They start off with Moana 2, which is in cinemas now. But the conversation goes right the way back to Jared Bush's time as a script reader for Robert Zemeckis, and then t…

Demolition Man (1993) and Hundreds Of Beavers (2022) 57:47

26d ago57:47

57:47

1993 was a banner year for Sylvester Stallone, thanks to two films that gave him quite the comeback. First up was Cliffhanger. Not far behind? That'd be the much-loved Demolition Man. Ahead of its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut, let's take a look at a movie that one of its co-stars loathed making. And also try to work out why its director moved away fro…

In conversation with director Vicky Jenson: Spellbound, Shrek, Shark Tale, Post-Grad, director jail 48:20

30d ago48:20

48:20

Vicky Jenson's directorial career got off to a hell of a start. As co-director of Shrek, she went to the Cannes Film Festival, she won an Oscar, scored a massive box office hit. Then Shark Tale followed, another hit. Then a live action movie, Post-Grad - but that didn't hit. And she paid a career price. This story gets better though, as Jenson's no…

Charlie's Angels (2000) and D-Tox (2002) 1:01:33

1M ago1:01:33

1:01:33

It was following the success of The Fugitive that Hollywood started plundering (again) the archives of television for its movie ideas. Sony wanted a Charlie's Angels film, and was looking for pitches. Drew Barrymore, then making Never Been Kissed, was interested. The film she'd help steer to the screen though wasn't without behind the scenes incide…

In conversation with Lucy Fisher & Douglas Wick: Gladiator II, Ridley Scott, Stuart Little and more 40:09

1M ago40:09

40:09

In a Film Stories podcast special, producers Lucy Fisher and Douglas Wick - the latter an Oscar-winner for the original Gladiator - join Simon to talk about their work. A lot of the chat is taken up with Gladiator II, working with Ridley Scott, and trying to get an epic production off the ground. There is a very odd left turn when Stuart Little com…

Superman II (1980) and Toys (1992) 1:06:42

1M ago1:06:42

1:06:42

Two twisty behind the scenes stories here. Originally, 1980's Superman II was being shot alongside the original Superman, with Richard Donner directing both. But frictions behind the scenes led to an eventual parting of the ways, a retooling of Superman II, and an eventual emergence of a second cut of the film. Toys meanwhile? From the director of …

In conversation with Jake Kasdan - Red One, Zero Effect, The TV Set and more 42:04

1M ago42:04

42:04

The new film from director Jake Kasdan is Red One, now playing in cinemas, and itself a massive, expensive Christmas blockbuster film. On the flip side, he started his directorial career with a microbudget indie by the name of Zero Effect back in 1998. In this special episode of Film Stories, he takes his through his work. He and Simon talk about h…

Tombstone (1993) and Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 58:36

2M ago58:36

58:36

Ah, Tombstone. The 1993 western with a cast led by Kurt Russell, and basically co-starring everyone else who wasn't in the rival project - Wyatt Earp - telling a similar story. But heck, behind the scenes, there were all sorts of problems. Examples? A director who got fired. A release date that couldn't move. A script that needed urgently hacking t…

In conversation with Paul Reiser 45:14

2M ago45:14

45:14

Paul Reiser first came on my radar, as he did for many, with 1986's Aliens. We touch on that very briefly here, as we chat independent film, The Problem With People, a bit of Diner, and the challenges of getting films made. Plus! Colm Meaney going to the wrong bar, a date set for 19 years into the future, and a whole lot more... The Problem With Pe…

Passengers (2016) and Flashdance (1983) 1:04:35

2M ago1:04:35

1:04:35

When the script for Passengers turned up on the famous Hollywood black list of the best unproduced screenplays, it seemed it'd be just a matter of time before it got made. Keanu Reeves and Reece Witherspoon were attached, a director was in place - what could go wrong? Well, a few things. And when the movie did get made? More problems weren't far be…

Kick-Ass (2010) and Payback (1999) 59:18

2M ago59:18

59:18

None of the Hollywood studios wanted to make 2010's Kick-Ass, a comic book movie with an R-rated edge. All of them turned it down, and so the film came to life in tandem with the comics, exploding into cinemas in 2010. It would be fair to say that not everyone in the media was pleased about it, as quite a backlash bubbled up. There were problems wi…

In conversation with Chris Sanders | The Wild Robot, Lilo & Stitch, Gene Kelly and more 37:49

2M ago37:49

37:49

In a special episode of the Film Stories podcast, Simon is joined by Oscar-nominee Chris Sanders, for a conversation and his latest film and career. The latest film? The Wild Robot, a box office smash and a break in style for DreamWorks Animation. It's now in UK cinemas and we go through the journey of the movie. Plus! Gene Kelly pops up in convers…

Terrifier (2016) and Longlegs (2024) 1:02:13

2M ago1:02:13

1:02:13

The Terrifier movie franchise has now led to a number one box office hit - but the story behind the first film involves short films, a crowdfunding campaign that missed its target, a shoot that went on longer than originally planned and financiers dropping out. And then there was the battle to get the film noticed in the first place. Plus, how a ti…

Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek (unmade) 55:16

3M ago55:16

55:16

2016 marked the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, and not unreasonably, Paramount Pictures wanted a movie. But far from being a straightforward production, Star Trek Beyond would go through different directors, and eventually find itself without a script just months ahead of filming. It made for a tense situation, and that's explored in this episode. …

1
Rain Man (1988) and Michael Flatley's Blackbird (2022) 57:10

3M ago57:10

57:10

The film Rain Man became a huge box office hit at the end if 1988, and an Oscar-winner in 1989. Yet here was a movie that went through the hands of at least three directors who didn't make it, including Steven Spielberg, who was attached for nearly half a year. But Barry Levinson did make the film - and he was able to take advantage of a situation …

Outbreak (1995) and Predestination (2014) 56:41

3M ago56:41

56:41

An article published back in 1992 would spark a bidding war in Hollywood. Nothing unusual there. That article would lead to Ridley Scott, Jodie Foster and Robert Redford signing up for a big, expensive movie - a movie that never got made. And it never got made because of 1995's Outbreak. Three movies meanwhile had failed to come together in a row f…

In conversation with director James Watkins: Speak No Evil, Eden Lake and more 36:50

3M ago36:50

36:50

Headlined by James McAvoy, Speak No Evil is a taut suspence film that's the latest from director James Watkins. Previously responsible for Eden Lake and The Woman In Black, amongst others, he joins Simon for a special episode of Film Stories. They chat about Speak No Evil, and the confidence of holding tension. Plus, editing with Jon Harris, a bit …

1
American Gangster (2007) and Piranha II: The Spawning (1982) 56:40

3M ago56:40

56:40

It's not uncommon for films to get through a director or two on their way to the screen. In this episode, that's certainly the case. American Gangster might have ended up on the slate of Ridley Scott, but he was the third or fourth name involved. At one stage, Universal was said to have spent $30m on the film in fact, with no hope of getting a sing…

In conversation with director Anand Tucker 46:44

3M ago46:44

46:44

Director Anand Tucker began in the world of documentaries, before switching into dramatic features. His most recent film, The Critic, is arriving in UK cinemas with Ian McKellen in its lead, having had to change casts following the pandemic. Before that, Tucker had briefly been attached to The Golden Compass, had worked on films such as Girl With A…
