Sayles has written a couple of moderately successful novels, but was more interested in movies. His films were always a way to break into films and a surprising number of his actors, directors, and writers went on to successful careers. And why not? Corman had made quite a few other science fiction films (like the original Little Shop of Horrors).Ĭorman was also famous for using (and underpaying) young talent. So when Star Wars started making hatfuls of money, he jumped on the bandwagon.
In his long career, Corman produced almost 400 films, nearly all of them cheap knockoffs of the latest trend. The movie was produced by the legendary schlockmeister Roger Corman. Occasionally, though, there is something that stands out on its own.īattle Beyond the Stars is a prime example. Usually the result is dire, since the people ripping off the film don't really understand (or care) what made it a hit in the first place. When a movie is a smash hit, other filmmakers rush to copy it.
