In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a high budget sequel, and Kevin Costner’s first box office disappointment.

The original Speed movie was lean, relatively modestly costed and a big, surprise hit. Speed 2 was pretty much the opposite – and its story ended up being reverse-engineered from a dream its director had.

Revenge meanwhile brought together director Tony Scott and star Kevin Costner, but neither would quite get the film they wanted. And Scott didn’t have final cut…

Stories of both are told in this episode.
