In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, Simon looks at a sci-fi movie that ran out of time, and a smaller animated project that proved anything but small in the end.

Gore Verbinski, meanwhile, wanted something smaller after his success with the original Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy. But Rango soon outgrew its smaller roots.
Stories of both are discussed in this episode…
