In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of movies brought to life by big movie stars.

Leonardo DiCaprio beat Brad Pitt to the rights to The Wolf Of Wolf Street. The film would eventually attract a too good to be true independent investor. And yikes, would it prove to be too good to be true.

Fighting With My Family happened when Dwayne Johnson was in a London hotel room, and channel hopping. He happened upon a wrestling documentary - and got in touch with his Tooth Fairy co-star.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
