• In conversation with filmmaker Dan Cadan. Including how much he got paid for one line in Die Another Day

  Dan Cadan may not be a name familiar to too many, but he's had quite the career.

Then, getting a film made, the sole UK release from the Fox International label, Walk Like A Panther. He takes us into the highs and lows of that, his letter about it to Kermode & Mayo, and what mischief he's up to now. Quite the story this... Learn more about your ad choices.

• The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) - from the 45th most popular film of 1992 to Xmas favourite

  Go down the box office charts for 1992, and you need to look a long way before you find The Muppet Christmas Carol. Directed by Brian Henson, the movie was in 45th place at the box office that year, with surprisingly few choosing to check it out on its initial cinema release. The film had come together following the death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, and there'd been some difficulty cracking what the next Muppet film should be. Even when they settled on an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, there were a few different choices that were nearly made. The story of the film is told in this episode...

• The story of the unmade Die Hard 6, plus an update

  After the, cough, 'underwhelming' A Good Day To Die Hard in 2013, the assumption was that the Die Hard saga had run aground. But for a while, that wasn't the case, and by 2015, there was a plan hatched for one final movie in the series. Bruce Willis was set to return as John McClane, Len Wiseman - after Die Hard 4.0 - was coming back to direct. And this time, we were going to be told the origin story of John McClane too. The film was active for nearly half a decade. And this is the story of the Die Hard that never was. Plus, a small update too on the Film Stories podcast... Learn more about your ad choices.
