It's an inevitable but nonetheless mournful moment for cinema tonight, May 11, as the groundbreaking filmmaker and producer Roger Corman has died at the age of 98. The director was still working right up to the end, and never truly stopped over the past 70 years. Corman directed roughly 50 movies and produced literally hundreds (more than 500, by some estimates), and was a trailblazer for independent film, often working outside the Hollywood system to produce wild, subversive, or nasty movies beloved by many.
It's been five years since one of the most acclaimed American directors released a film, perhaps because it was an anomaly in his career and one of his worst-reviewed movies. That would be Jim Jarmusch with the 2019 film, The Dead Don't Die.

John Krasinskis successful vision for a quieter and deadlier on-screen future continues in filmmaker Michael Sarnoskis upcoming A Quiet Place: Day One.

Yes, those interested can watch director Wes Balls film in an entirely different light following its theatrical release, because a raw cut of Ball's Kingdom is planned when the sci-fi adventure's physical media eventually drops.
