In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, the last James Cameron/Arnold Schwarzenegger collaboration, and a beloved film that went through major difficulties.
Arnold Schwarzenegger came to True Lies off the back of the box office disappointment Last Action Hero - and James Cameron needed to make a film to justify a huge deal his company had signed.
As for Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory? For a much-loved film, it was a very, very taxing production.
Stories of both are told in this episode.
