Love this, but who is playing the eponymous character? And who directs?
 
This photo has a strange but interesting story.

Barney_Jurassic_Park.jpg

In Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park, scientists cloned seven famous types dinosaurs for an amusement park, but it all went wrong. The seven dinosaurs in the movie were:
  • T-rex
  • Velociraptor
  • Brachiosaurus
  • Triceratops
  • Dilophosaurus
  • Parasaurolophus
  • Gallimimus
However, there was an eighth dinosaur, but it was removed from the movie for being very dangerous and scary. It was Barney. It is unknown why he was suppose to be in the movie (possibly being a parody of the infamous purple colored dinosaur or possibly in a dream sequence), but he was removed. Only three known copies of the original film are known to exist: one with Steven Spielberg himself, another one in the hands of a collector and the third is owned by an anonymous person in Montana. He was able to take a picture of one frame of the film, showing Barney eating the lawyer off the toilet (which was replaced with the T-rex in the final cut).

Singer Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys group at their last meeting in 1996, preparing to record another solo album, Carl had a poor performance in his studio and recovered at home.

I assume you're asking who played Orpheus... I dunno, haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking a singer/guitarist from that period of time, maybe a member of a band...

As for who directs, Robert Wise (Sound of Music, West Side Story).

And for the unasked question of how is this possible... Alien Space Bats are fans of musicals.

Huh... Didn't actually think of that, but its a good idea. I was thinking a member of The Beach Boys or maybe Paul McCartney, but Dylan would be a good choice.
I was also going to suggest Dylan. But I also like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys for the role as well.

And I have been working on a creative project for a few years that is similar. About two ASB twin brothers who create the first full-length sound and color feature films in 1926. Their first being a romantic tragedy musical with elements of Orpheus and Eurydice, Tristan and Isolde, and Romeo and Juliet. The music I was going to use would be anachronistic and be proto-rock and roll/jazz/folk covers of modern music. So, kudos to you for coming up with a similar idea for the 60's.

Honestly I was just asking myself out of boredom "What if Hadestown was made back in the 60s?".

I originally wanted someone like Vincent Price or Boris Karloff as Hades, but after consideration and comparing their singing voices with Patrick Page Hades), and considering the age of Boris Karloff, I chose Christopher Lee, both because he was menacing looking, and sounded similar enough to Patrick Page.
