About this episode
In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a sequel that needed some fast recasting, and an animated film that needed some fast retooling. When Fox restricted the budget for 1990's Predator 2 , both Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan were out. And that wasn't the only problem. Pixar's hugely acclaimed Ratatouille , meanwhile, was in such trouble that a new director was needed, with just 18 months to totally turn the film around. Stories of both are discussed in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew , and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. You can find the Film Stories website here .
