SaysWho? Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I've never heard of him, actually. But if he's the one who discovered fucking Nicholson, Scorsese, and De Niro, then shame on me for not knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of those guys that I’ve never felt the need to actually seek out any of his movies (I’ve never been much of a classic B movie guy), but he’s a fascinating person to read about. You’ll find plenty of great anecdotes like this: Quote Corman's B-movie directors were given minuscule budgets and often told to finish their films in as little as five days. When Howard, who would go on to win a best director Oscar for “A Beautiful Mind,” pleaded for an extra half day to reshoot a scene in 1977 for “Grand Theft Auto,” Corman told him, “Ron, you can come back if you want, but nobody else will be there.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
