A&E has announced that they have officially acquired TV rights for Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel.
Scheduled to show at Sundance later this month, Corman's World "...tracks the triumphant rise of the true 'godfather' of independent filmmaking, Roger Corman. The single most prolific writer-director-producer, Corman financed hundreds of profitable low-budget films and helped launch the careers of Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, and many more. With archival footage of American culture and countercultures from the 1950’s to present day, and dynamic interviews with alumni of Corman’s cutthroat school of filmmaking, Corman’s World takes us back to the days when Corman was King. The film also shows the rise of the recent Corman renaissance featuring Indiewood’s new school of filmmakers - including Quentin Tarantino, Paul W.S. Anderson and Eli Roth. And of course it follows Roger himself as he successfully continues to produce and distribute films outside the studio system the Corman way: fast, cheap and out-of-this-world!"
Corman's World, along with Kevin Smith's Red State and Hobo with a Shotgun will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend.
