What's second unit? What's the 180 degree line? These questions and more were often answered by "King of the Bs" Roger Corman in his grindhouse movie heyday, when he famously took newbie future auteurs like James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese under his wing while churning out B-movies left and right. In an exclusive deleted scene from Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, almost a dozen of his former proteges, including Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante, Jonathan Demme, and Penelope Spheeris recall the crash course in filmmaking he gave them at the start of their careers.
Corman's World opened in limited release to critical acclaim last winter (read Michelle Orange's review here) and hits DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday. In Movieline's exclusive 10-minute deleted scene, fans of Corman's legendary body of work get a slice of what it was like to be on the ground making movies with him in the '70s and '80s, when he gave an entire generation of future American auteurs their start.
Included here are Demme recounting the lasting lesson he took from a one-hour lunch with Corman decades ago ("You?ve got to keep the eyeball of the viewer stimulated. That?s why we move the camera around"), Howard admitting that he applied Corman's lessons on shooting action in his later films, and Spheeris unearthing the meticulously typed notes Corman gave her as she began filming 1984's Suburbia ("Any plans to get Penelope to France? In France, it is VERY important to advertise the director").
