In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a sequel with a bumpy production, and a blockbuster that was originally set for Spielberg.

Scream 4 (2011) was intended to kickstart a new trilogy of films. But who was ultimately in control of it?

Delays kept hitting The Mask Of Zorro (1998) meanwhile. And it lost several directors on its way to the screen.

Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
