Superman Returns (2006) and Blinded By The Light (2019)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two films at either end of the budget scale!

Superman Returns took over a decade to come together, with over $50m spent even by the time it was greenlit. But after the successful Batman reboot landed the year before it, the pressure was on.

Blinded By The Light took a long time to come together too - but then how do you make a wonderful British coming of age film, whilst also weaving in the music of Bruce Springsteen?

Stories of both are told in this episode.
