Last week, while plugging his new book, Ray Harryhausen appeared at a screening of THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS and discussed the film.
You can see a videoclip of the Q&A session here: http://hollywoodgothique.com/beastfrom20000fathoms1953.html
The video link is at the bottom of the page, after a review. Just scroll down and you'll find it.
There's a very nice interview with Harryhausen on the Region 1 DVD in which he talks at some length about doing the stop motion animation effects for the movie.
"Warren Oates died for our sins"
"Warren Oates died for our sins"
A jab at Christianity. How original.

I wonder who the unnamed producer was that Ray Harryhausen and Ray Bradbury complained about.
Nevermind, I found the answer. The producer was Robert Lippert and the film was Lost Continent.
"Mr. Lippert, Ray Bradury..."
"Yes?"
"It won't make a dime."
"I wonder who the unnamed producer was that Ray Harryhausen and Ray Bradbury complained about."
Yep it was Lippert as Ray "auditioned" for the film (and didn't get it because LOST CONTINENT was sooooo cheap)
Yes and here's something else...Ray Bradbury wrote a story called TYRANNOSAURUS REX which was loosely based on the trouble that Ray Harryhausen had on BEAST with producer Hal Chester, who was a real turd.

They filmed the story as an episode of "The Ray Bradbury Theater". It came out really well~very funny.

A self-righteous Christian who takes undue offense at trivial things just because they can. NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
