Hello Everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the premiere of Cyclops on the Sci-Fi channel on Saturday, December 6. It's playing twice that night, at 9 PM and 1 AM. I'm quite happy with the film, and I think it has something for all my fans.

Roger

P.S. I recently re-watched an old favorite, The Legend of Hell House. It's written by a good friend of mine, Dick Matheson, and I highly recommend it! A great horror classic.

Corman Doc In The Works

A documentary feature based on the life of B-movie director Roger Corman is in the works from director Alex Stapleton, Variety reported.

King of the B's: The Independent Life of Roger Corman will examine the impact of Corman, who directed more than 50 films and produced more than 300 over five decades. It will also highlight Corman's impact on the industry through creating films like Little Shop of Horrors and mentoring auteurs such as Martin Scorsese. Another aspect will be to show how films like Alexandre Aja's upcoming remakePiranha 3-D continue his legacy.

Stapleton, who produced Spike TV and Canal Plus' documentary Just for Kicks will make his feature directorial debut with King. Stick 'N Stone Productions will finance the project.

We are on the eve of shooting another very solid action film, known as
ROAD RAIDERS. It is the post-apocalyptic story of a group of bandits,
led by the elusive Slade, who have to rescue a stunning beauty named
Skye from an evil warlord named Bane. He and his team must then
defend Skye's tribe—alongside Skye's sister Kenna—from Bane's warriors
who are desperate for the tribe's water. It is an epic final battle
that decides the fate of that world. We are currently finishing
casting and I think action fans will be very, very excited about the
great actors we are finding for this film.

The post-production of Cyclops is proceeding well… We will soon have a
preview together that integrates the truly scary CGI look we have
developed for the Cyclops.

Cheerleader Massacre 2 is currently being finished. The beautiful
Cheerleaders have been massacred with grisly brilliance. This will
continue the success of our Massacre series.

More updates soon,

Roger

Dear Fans,

We have finished shooting CYCLOPS and it is a hell of a picture. The post-production phase is truly exciting as we see the dynamic world Declan O’Brien and Frances Doel created.

We are preparing right now to shoot a smaller picture, called CHEERLEADER MASSACRE 2. It’s Cheerleader Camp time again and the Red Team and Blue Team, the most beautiful, bustiest teams are ready to compete for the state championship. But on their way, one team is brutally murdered by a masked maniac with cutting edge military hardware and a military scientist that developed a formidable artillery of wirelessly controllable weapons. Now the red team is assembled, along with the sexy local news anchor and the stunning coaches. These girls will fight for more than the title-and expose more than their moves-as a maniac tries to turn the red team into the dead team.

It is the sequel to the Video on Demand hit CHEERLEADER MASSACRE and is a really enjoyable film. It will include everything important for this type of film—real scares, beautiful women, great production value. We will keep you updated as it progresses.

We are almost finished with the CYCLOPS shoot and there is nothing
more exciting than a movie that will excite my fans. I have seen
footage and every dollar of our budget is on the screen.
Eric Roberts’ performance is exciting, subtle, and funny as the
Emperor. Kevin Stapleton conveys valor and emotional growth with
previously untapped acting resources. Frida Farrell is stunning in
every way.


Particularly exciting for me, however, is to see the meticulously
planned fight scenes realized so beautifully—particularly in the
gladiatorial pit. Declan O’Brien (whose film Rock Monster premiered
this weekend on the Sci Fi channel) really outdid himself this time.
The stunt work, the actors, the Cyclops, and the gruesome gore all cut
together so beautifully.


We are starting to work the Cyclops into the scenes and he works.
This beast belongs in ancient Rome amongst these sumptuous sets. I am
really excited to see the final version of this film and see the
excitement amongst my fans.

Filming begins today on CYCLOPS, Producer Roger Corman's new big budget Sci-Fi Channel original film. Starring Academy Award Nominee Eric Roberts, Swedish bombshell Frida Farrell, Broadway star Kevin Stapleton, and Directed by Sci-Fi veteran Declan O'Brien, this $10 million feature tells the story of a CYCLOPS, discovered in ancient Rome, who is captured by arrogant soldier Marcus (Stapleton) and brought back to the Emperor Tiberius (Roberts). Soon, however, the corrupt Emperor forces Marcus to fight in the gladiatorial arena against the CYCLOPS with the help of a beautiful barbarian (Farrell). After Marcus learns what it means to be a hero and the Cyclops' essential humanity is revealed, together they end the emperor's tyranny.

The movie is to be filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria at the luxurious full-scale Roman set built for the USA network movie SPARTACUS that has been restructured in the most sumptuous manner possible. The stuntmen are ready to defy death for this film that Mr. Corman promises will be "one of the biggest and best pictures of my 400 film career."
