Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles H Schneer

Release the Kraken! Twice!Clash of the Titans had been an idea since the late 1950s, with writer Beverley Cross writing a treatment in 1969 called Perseus and the Gorgon's Head. At the time, producer Charles H. Schneer and legendary animator Ray Harryhausen were working on other films, and so what became Clash of the Titans would have to wait until 1977 to start pre-production.It would eventually release in 1981 and include not only one of Harryhausen's most memorable creatures, Medusa, but also signal the beginning of the end of his career. Clash of the Titans would be his final film, in part thanks to a scathing review.Clash of the Titans would inevitably be remade one day, and that remake fell to Louis Leterrier, and new writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, using an original script by Travis Beacham based on Cross' original script. Updated to modern audiences' needs for big budgets, big-name actors and huge CG spectacle, Warner Bros would notice the huge 3D revolution started by James Cameron's Avatar, and decided to convert Clash of the Titans to 3D in post-production... I would love to hear your thoughts on Clash of the Titans (1981) & Clash of the Titans (2010) !CONTACT....

Episode 330: Ray Harryhausen's (select) Filmography (Part One) Join Matt & Tim as they spend the month of May exploring select films from Ray Harryhausen's filmography. Part One of the series will find the boys watching and then discussing Ray Harryhausen's first studio motion picture, "Mighty Joe Young" (1949), in which he remains uncredited for his work as a stop-motion animation technician, working under original "King Kong" (1933) animator Willis O'Brien. "It Came from Beneath the Sea" (1955) marks Harryhausen's first credited major motion picture, taking on the stop-motion effects after hearing a pitch from Columbia Pictures Producer Charles H. Schneer, who would collaborate with Harryhausen on many more classic stop-motion films.     FLICKS: "Mighty Joe Young" (1949) [00:11:01] SLS Cast rating: 4.5 Matt's rating: 4 Tim's rating: 5 "It Came from Beneath the Sea" (1955) [00:28:42] SLS Cast rating: 4.25 Matt's rating: 4.5 Tim's rating: 4   NEXT WEEK!     FLICKS: "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers" (1956) "20 Million Miles to Earth" (1957)    Until Next Time Cinephiles...        AUDIO LINKS: "Mighty Joe Young" (1949) Trailer (HERE) "It Came from Beneath the Sea" (1955) Trailer (HERE)     RSS Feed   (All music within the podcast is copyrighted 2010 - 2019 by Cries of Solace and is used with permission.
