Good Will Hunting (1997) and Fame (1980‪)‬ Film Stories with Simon Brew

    • Film History

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two Oscar-winning movies 
The likes of Michael Mann and Mel Gibson toyed with directing Good Will Hunting, and the original idea effectively got cut in two. Plus there was a cunning trick in its script.
Fame came together quicker, but it faced a fair few problems - including the New York Board of Education being very unhappy with the tone of the script.
Stories of both are told in this episode.
