Iconic American filmmaker Roger Corman and Julie Corman are expanding their personal YouTube subscription channel.
After its launch in the US and Canada last month, Corman’s Drive-In is available to fans in the UK, Japan, Brazil, France, Spain, Russia, South Korea and Australia.
YouTube is making the channel available around the world immediately. The authentically American drive-in movie concept is gaining in popularity globally as Paris’s famous Grand Palais has been transformed into an American-styled drive-in Cinema for the summer; while in Japan, Roger Corman is revered as one of the “titans of America Cinema.”
Corman, widely known as the godfather of independent movies, popularised film sub-genres like car-chase pictures, dystopian biker flicks, cross-species mutant monsters, space operas, and women-in-cages.
Corman’s Drive-In premieres with a double-feature of Jack Nicholson’s debut films, the classic spaghetti sci–fi Starcrash, the original Piranha and the grindhouse sexploitation Big Doll House. Coming this summer, the channel will offer subscribers a new selection of films including Allan Arkush’s Rock N Roll High School, featuring The Ramones.
Rebel filmmaker Roger Corman and producer Julie Corman personally select the films that debut each month on Corman’s Drive-In. Cultivated from their vault of 400 titles which include iconic pictures like Grand Theft Auto and The Fast and the Furious, many of the films are now being offered for the first time in the digital universe and can only be seen on the Corman’s Drive-In YouTube channel.
Offered as a subscription programming service for $3.99 per month, Corman’s Drive-In will refresh its rotating selection of 30 movie titles regularly.
