Yet his commitment to filmmaking remains inspired. He learned his craft at the end of the studio system, only to rebel against Hollywood and define himself as the true independent. And the list of directors and producers who learned under his tutelage--Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Jonathan Demme, and many more--is astonishing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Collected here are many of the most honest and revealing interviews of his epic career, several of which have never been seen in print. \u003ci\u003eRoger Corman: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e brings into focus a life committed to the entertaining art of motion pictures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Corman's rare talent combined artistic drive with business savvy, ensuring a successful career that was constantly in motion. At a remarkable pace more akin to silent movies than modern Hollywood, he directed over fifty films in less than fifteen years, some entertaining (\u003ci\u003eNot of This Earth\u003c\/i\u003e), trendsetting (\u003ci\u003eThe Wild Angels\u003c\/i\u003e), daring (\u003ci\u003eThe Intruder\u003c\/i\u003e), workmanlike (\u003ci\u003eApache Woman\u003c\/i\u003e), stylized (\u003ci\u003eThe Masque of the Red Death\u003c\/i\u003e) and even profound (X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes). In a single year, Corman famously shot a cult classic in two and a half days (\u003ci\u003eThe Little Shop of Horrors\u003c\/i\u003e), reinvigorated the American horror film with a dash of Poe and Price (\u003ci\u003eHouse of Usher\u003c\/i\u003e)--and still turned out a few more films shot across the globe. Recently awarded an honorary Oscar for his lifetime contribution to cinema, the self-made Corman has created a legacy as a defining filmmaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Constantine Nasr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617031658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617031656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Constantine Nasr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46545737351423,"sku":"9781617031656","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8b95e07-76db-4a15-b7df-7314d626abf7.jpg?v=1738183200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roger-corman-constantine-nasr-9781617031656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
