Corman’s World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel will hit Blu-ray next February

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Ever since I first heard about the documentary CORMAN’S WORLD: EXPLOITS OF A HOLLYWOOD REBEL I have been aching to see it. I am such a sucker for documentaries like this, and Roger Corman is certainly a fascinating subject!

Well we shall all get the opportunity to tap this bad boy as Starz/Anchor Bay are planning to release the film on Blu-ray February 27th. That is about all we know at this stage, no specs or extra features have been announced, but I am sure we will hear more as it gets closer to the release date.

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!

I can’t wait, can I have it right now? The film features interviews with Roger Corman, Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, Jonathan Demme, Robert De Niro, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, David Carradine, Pam Grier, Catherine Hardwicke, Eli Roth and Paul W.S. Anderson. Scope out the trailer below, and we’ll keep our eyes open for more news!
