Alien Vs Predator (2004) and Parenthood (1989)
A film that was in discussions for over a decade before it happened, and a movie that resulted from a plane trip to Argentina.

Show Notes
In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two films that came together at very different speeds.
Alien Vs Predator was sparked by a spec script, but it'd be Paul W S Anderson who got the job - and he spent his own cash on something rather special for his pitch.
Parenthood, meanwhile, was the idea of director Ron Howard - but bringing together its incredible cast was not without challenges.
Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
