In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a film finally released nearly three years after filming, and a comedy that was a comeback of sorts for Steve Martin

The New Mutants was caught up in reshoots talks, a company takeover, and a rumour that the whole film was going to scrapped and started again.

Bowfinger was an easier shoot, although it was a film that came about in Steve Martin's head some 15 years before it was made.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
