In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two films that benefitted from surges in popularity for their leading actors.
The action movie Broken Arrow would ultimately end up in the hands of director John Woo, his second Hollywood feature. John Travolta led the cast. And oddly, it all came together in the way it did thanks to Free Willy 2.
Julia Roberts had already shot Pretty Woman and Flatliners by the time she was signed up for 1991 thriller Sleeping With The Enemy. Sean Connery and Kim Basinger had originally been linked – but 20th Century Fox would end up with one hell of a deal when Roberts signed up.
Stories of both are told in this episode.
