In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a comic book movie drastic course change and a small budget hit with an awful lot of characters. 1995's Batman Forever was set to still star Michael Keaton up until a year before release. Yet Warner Bros wanted - and got - a very different film to 1992's Batman Returns. As for 2014's Pride, this terrific British movie had a big cast and a small budget - and that was a combination that presented a fair few problems.  Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
