A couple of new SHARKs from Roger Corman
5 November 2009 4:47 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Roger Corman (a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award at our recent Trinity of Terrors) is a mainstay of the American Film Market and always has been, and that’s where we caught up again with the veteran producer, who’s doing a couple of new killer-fish movies for the Syfy channel. “Dinocroc was a big hit for us,” he tells Fango, “and Syfy wanted another one, so now we have Dinoshark, which we shot in Mexico, and that has turned out so well, the next one we’ll do for them is…

Exclusive Video: Corey Feldman and Roger Corman Talk Splatter
30 October 2009 12:39 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Whenever you get two extremely talented filmmakers together both with huge followings you can run the risk of egos clashing and prima donna behavior, and god forbid you add a famous actor into that equation, you could be writing a recipe for disaster. However that was not the case when filmmaking legend Roger Corman, acclaimed director Joe Dante and fan-favorite actor Corey Feldman collaborated for the exclusive new web-series, Splatter; which begins airing on-line October 29th. Sponsored by Netflix and available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike, the series can be seen by going to www.netflix.com/splatter beginning October 29th with a second installment airing November 6th and the entire series concludes on Friday, November 13. But what's the catch, you say? Viewers will have the opportunity to vote on line for which characters they think should live and which should die, so they will actually have control over the outcome of the series. »

And now for something a little different. This Halloween season, Netflix is kicking off its original series Splatter , produced by Roger Corman and directed by Joe Dante. Told over three installments, the story tells of a shock rocker who returns from the grave to settle a few scores with those in his entourage. But the narrative of this series is being placed in the audience's hands. "Everything is determined by the viewership, so at the end of the first ten minutes, they get to determine who lives and who dies," explains actor Tony Todd who co-stars alongside Corey Feldman. "I thought that was very interesting. That and the fact that we only had nine days to shoot it, and during that time we shot multiple endings so we got to see the death scenes."... »
