Ronin (1998) and Knocked Up (2007)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of films that wanted to do things for real.

The plan with Ronin was to not use CG unless as a last resort, and to do as much as possible for real. All with the help and support of French authorities.

Knocked Up was a comedy that turned Seth Rogen into a movie star - but it went through a notable casting change, as well as post-production challenges.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
