Die Hard With A Vengeance (1995) and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)

Om avsnittet

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a sequel that went through a fair few ideas, and a comedy that heavily stumbled at the box office.

Die Hard With A Vengeance saw big changes behind the scenes - and a struggle to find an ending that works. As for Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, it turned into a film that had as much footage to work through as a documentary that had shot for a year.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
