Roger Corman, the “King of the Bs” who helped turn out such low-budget classics as “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Attack of the Crab Monsters” and gave many of Hollywood’s most famous actors and directors early breaks, has died. He was 98. Corman died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, California, according to a statement released Saturday by his wife and daughters. This follows a life that started with many B-horror movies, such as the 1960 film “Little Shop of Horrors,” and helping kickstart the careers of Martin Scorsese and Jack Nicholson. Some of Corman’s work, including interviews with these film legends associated with Corman, was displayed in the 2011 documentary “Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel.”

For this week’s FilmWeek feature, we talk to filmmaker Alex Stapleton, director of “Corman’s World” and LAist film critic Wade Major, about Corman’s legacy and why his loss meant so much to the film community.
