Episode 28- Harryhausen: The Lost Movies, Part 2

The Ray Harryhausen Podcast

Episode 28 of the Ray Harryhausen Podcast concludes our two-part celebration of 'Harryhausen: The Lost Movies'. Released on September 10th, the book examines Harryhausen's unrealised films, including unused ideas, projects he turned down and scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor. This book includes never-been-seen-before artwork, sketches, photos and test footage from the Harryhausen Foundation archives. This episode contains interviews with official Foundation conservator Alan Friswell, whose detailed knowledge of Ray's work was vital in piecing together some of the book's lost treasures. We then turn to an interview with Screen Novelties animators Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh, who helped Ray to complete one of his 'Lost Movies' in 2002- the short Fairy Tales film 'The Story of the Tortoise and the Hare'. Mark and Seamus chatted to Ray's daughter Vanessa Harryhausen about their time working with her father. Harryhausen: The Lost Movies is OUT NOW! Enjoy the episode, and please get in touch with any feedback or queries on Ray’s hidden treasures.
