RIP Roger Corman. A great movie maker and mentor. When I was 23 he gave me my 1st shot at directing. He launched many careers & quietly lead our industry in important ways. He remained sharp, interested and active even at 98. Grateful to have known him. thewrap.com/roger-corman-d…
As Mark Harris said, he was the last founding father.
Also: the only studio head I ever saw queue up for little-known experimental and foreign films. He loved cinema, and he lived it.
His legacy is incalculable.
Roger Corman. Rest in peace.
Roger Corman was an iconic, innovative filmmaker, all-around nice guy & captivating storyteller who gave Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard & James Cameron (and many more!) their starts. Plus, He and Joe Dante revolutionized how movie trailers were cut. #RIPRogerCorman
