Doku-Trailer: "Cormans World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel"

Eigentlich war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, dass mal jemand eine groß angelegte Dokumentation über Roger Corman dreht. Ein Mann der Als Regisseur, Autor und Produzent auf das Hollywood-System gepfiffen hat um Filme zu drehen, die zu der Zeit von jedem anderen Studio gemieden worden wären wie die Pest. Seit seinen Anfängen hat Corman einer Menge Leuten ihre ersten Jobs im Buisiness verschafft die heute als Ikonen gefeiert werden: Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro oder Francis Ford Coppola uvm. stehen da auf der Liste.

Hier der Pressetext zum Film:

CORMAN’S WORLD: EXPLOITS OF A HOLLYWOOD REBEL is a tantalizing and star-studded tribute to Roger Corman, Hollywood’s most prolific writer-director producer, and seminal influencing force in modern moviemaking over the last 60 years. Featuring interviews with Hollywood icons and cinematic luminaries, some who launched their careers within Corman’s unforgettable world of filmmaking, including Paul W.S. Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert De Niro, Peter Fonda, Pam Grier, Ron Howard, Eli Roth, Martin Scorsese, William Shatner and Jack Nicholson, along with many others, this documentary chronicles how Corman created his cult film empire, one low-budget success at a time, capitalizing on undiscovered talent, and pushing the boundaries of independent filmmaking.

Director Alex Stapleton weaves archival footage following Roger’s illustrious career: From his early days of genre-defining classics including the original Fast and Furious, the original Little Shop of Horrors, The Crybaby Killer, The Intruder, House of Usher, and The Wild Angels (which at that point in 1966 was his 100th film) – to present day video of him and his wife Julie on location, still at work as they continue to produce and distribute films outside the studio system: fast, cheap and out-of-this-world!

Bin gespannt.
