Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) and The Mist (2007)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of horror movies of slightly different sizes.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was set to be the second in a loose trilogy of films. But producer Francis Ford Coppola and director/star Kenneth Branagh wouldn't quite see eye to eye.

Frank Darabont's third big screen Stephen King adaptation meanwhile - The Mist - was uncompromising and took around 15 years to get made. But not for expected reasons.

Stories of both are told in this episode.

Previous Episode

In conversation with Ryan Lambie: the Den Of Geek years (part 1)

Here's a very different episode of the Film Stories podcast. Back in 2007, Simon's idea for a nerdy website came to life with Den Of Geek (working with a bunch of brilliant people to launch it).

A few years later, he'd be joined by Ryan Lambie. And in this special Film Stories episode, they look back at building up the website and sinking nearly two decades between then into it.

They go through many of the highs and lows of running an entertainment website, in this candid conversation. And there's more left for part two if you want it...

Next Episode

No Time To Die (2021) with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson

Here's a shorter, extra episode of Film Stories. This time, Simon is joined by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G WIlson, the producers of the James Bond films, to talk 007 and primarily the Daniel Craig era.

This conversation was recorded as part of the press tour for No Time To Die, but the conversation goes a little broader than that.

A full episode on No Time To Die will inevitably happen at some point in the future!
