Star Wars: Rogue One’s messy production, and the dinner party that changed the fortunes of Educating Rita.
Two very different films in this latest episode of film history podcast Film Stories. Firstly, it’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an infamously difficult production that saw director Gareth Edwards fashion a war tale in the Star Wars universe – and then reshoots become Hollywood trade press fodder.
Coming off the back of two James Bond films meanwhile, director Lewis Gilbert reckoned he might be able to get interest in a film take on hit play Educating Rita back in the early 1980s. He got a short, sharp shock – but a dinner party offered him a very welcome stroke a luck.
Stories of both films are told in this episode. Please do the like and subscribe and leaving a nice review thing. Thank you!
