Falling Down (1993) and Sing Street (2016)

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a controversial 90s big studio movie, and a smaller Irish musical.

Michael Douglas was all set to take time off before the script for Falling Down turned up. Plus, there remains a question mark over an apparently out of focus shot in the film.

Sing Street meanwhile was originally set to feature the music of U2. But things changes, and circumstances led the film towards a big box office battle.

Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
