Daredevil (2003) and The Greatest Showman (2017)
In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a superhero movie that changed course, and a musical that struggled to get going. Two months into filming on Daredevil (2003), the first Spider-Man movie went stellar at the box office - and Fox figured it might have a bigger project than it thought on its hands. With The Greatest Showman (2017), the studio was less sure - leading to Hugh Jackman performing for studio bosses the day after a medical procedure. Stories of both are told in this episode.
