Deep Impact (1998) and Twins (1988)

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, the comet movie that had a tight deadline, and the Arnie comedy with an unusual deal behind it. 1998's Deep Impact was to have been directed by Steven Spielberg - but with Armageddon on the horizon, some fast action was needed. Even though the project originated decades before. Much faster to the screen was 1988's Twins, a film that made Arnold Schwarzenegger more money than his first few Terminator films, such was the groundbreaking deal that was struck. 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. Hosted on Acast.
