WORLD DRIVE-IN MOVIE FESTIVAL AND JAMBOREE TO HONOR “ROGER CORMAN’S FIRST 70 YEARS”: “Roger Corman, the legendary director, producer, distributor, writer and mentor to dozens of Hollywood stars, will be the guest of honor at the third annual World Drive-In Movie Festival and Jamboree October 6-8 at the West Wind Las Vegas Drive-In.
“Roger Corman’s First Seventy Years” will be the theme of the three-day event, which will include an onstage appearance by Corman and his producer wife, Julie Corman, during the Saturday night double feature, which will also be an episode of Shudder’s hit show “The Last Drive-In.”
Joe Bob Briggs, host of “The Last Drive-In” and founder of the Jamboree, said, “I don’t know of any other filmmaker who has worked 70 years straight in Hollywood. A few actors have done it because they started as children, but Roger wrote ‘Highway Dragnet’ in 1953, when he was 27 years old, and then proceeded to produce, direct and distribute more movies than most people even watch, much less make, in one lifetime. Roger has contributed so much to cinema history that we’re not even sure of the precise number, but it’s probably 700 films at this point. Forty years ago, at the Gemini Drive-In in Dallas, I gave Roger a Lifetime Achievement Award engraved on a Chevy hubcap, but he was only 57 at the Bme and now he’s lived a second lifetime, so I’m not sure what we’re gonna give him this Bme.”
Diana Prince, Executive Director of the Jamboree who also plays “Darcy the Mail Girl” on “The Last Drive In,” announced the special event as “the drive-in faithful paying back the man who premiered more movies at drive-ins than any other filmmaker. . . . He’s already been honored by the MoBon Picture Academy, the American Film Institute, the Cinematheque Francaise, the British Film Institute, and the Museum of Modern Art, but this is the people’s award. He’s never been honored the drive-in way. We have quite a few surprises planned.”
Julie Corman will also be honored the same night for her half-century as a producer of such drive-in classics as “Chopping Mall,” “The Student Teachers,” “Sorority House Massacre II,” “Crazy Mama,” “The Nest,” “The Lady in Red,” and “Brain Dead.”
“If I had my druthers, we would show ten Roger and Julie films that night,” said Briggs, “but unfortunately Vegas has only 12 hours, 25 minutes of darkness at that time of year. We’ll probably settle for a quintuple feature.”

Official Trailer For Zombie Comedy FINAL CUT From Michel Hazanavicius – In Theaters July 14: “Oscar® winner Michel Hazanavicius’ remake of Shin’ichirô Ueda’s cult hit One Cut of the Dead follows a director (Romain Duris, L’Auberge Espagnole) charged with making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies. Featuring hysterically unhinged performances from Oscar® nominee Bérénice Bejo (The Artist), Matilda Lutz (Revenge), and Finnegan Oldfield (Corsage), Final Cut is a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking and a blood-soaked, hilarious genre farce with a meta-to-the-max premise.”
Kino Lorber Will Release FINAL CUT In Theaters On July 14th
