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…

So very sorry to hear of Roger Corman’s passing. Working with Roger in The Wild Angels was a highlight of my life. He was a such a lovely man. Sending condolences to his wife Julie and their children.

Goodnight to the legendary and beloved producer, director, distributor, mentor, and independent-film trailblazer Roger Corman. A passionate and indefatigable lover of cinema for more than half a century, Corman's influence and support of artists changed the course film history, and can be felt in everything from B-movies and exploitation flicks to art-house classics. There was no one like Roger Corman. He will be deeply missed. ❤️
