Roger Corman R.I.P.

Roger Corman, aged 98, died on Thursday, May 9, at his home in Santa Monica (California).

His family published an emotional statement in which they announced the farewell of this Hollywood personality: "He was generous, open-hearted and kind to all who knew him [...] When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said: 'I was a filmmaker, that's all.'"

The American was involved in films such as 'Little Shop of Horrors' and 'Attack of the Crab Monsters', which were huge hits in their day.

Among the directors Corman has worked with in his feature films are such prominent figures as Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese.

R.I.P. Roger Corman.

A movie legend.

Such a bummer. 98 is a hell of a good run, though.

Back in the day as a B-movie addicted teen rooting through the video store shelves, you knew something was gonna be good if you saw Roger's "New World Pictures" logo on it.

R.I.P. sir, and thanks for all the badass popcorn fun!

RIP

He gave a LOT of Hollywood actors and directors their start. He was incredibly influential. Several of his films were VERY enjoyable, even if they were cheesy.
