In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, Simon looks at the long gestation of Good Morning Vietnam, and the plans for Spider-Man films that brought The Martianto Ridley Scott.
Good Morning Vietnam came at a point in Robin Williams’ career where there were serious doubts over whether he could headline a movie. Plus, how it became the first Touchstone movie.

Stories of both are discussed in this episode…
