Filming started in June 1966 in Kanab, Utah. By the end of the month, Corman had left the project and been replaced by Phil Karlson. Columbia gave no reason for this decision. Once Corman left, his editor Monte Hellman also left the project. Richard Devon, an actor who had worked with Corman, later argued the problem on the film was that Corman could not reconcile his low budget ways to work for a major studio. He was given a fine budget and stars and everything else. But he started shooting the film and he just couldn't get out of his old ways.

He was pushing the footage, he was pushing the actors, the crew was upset, everybody was upset, etc. The Columbia brass looked at the rushes and called him in andsaid. ‘You know. Roger, we want something to be on the film, We don’t need this fast kind of attitude that you’ve had in the past. There's a talent there, there's an ability. Stretch it out." But he couldn’t hack it. And he got replaced on the film.

It's a young people's audience... They can see the average for free on TV. You've got to give them something a little more complex artistically and intellectually. To show something you can't see on TV leads inevitably to unusual material." Corman says the ideas he submitted to Columbia were a biopic of Baron Von Ritchofen, a story of the St Valentine's Day Massacre and an adaptation of "Only Lovers Left Alive". (He would end up making the first two films for other studios).
A Time for Killing | Pre-production
A Time for Killing is a 1967 Western film directed originally by Roger Corman but finished by Phil Karlson. Filmed in Panavision and Pathécolor, it stars Glenn Ford, George Hamilton, Inger Stevens, and Harrison Ford (credited as Harrison J. Ford) in his first credited film role. It was also known as The Long Ride Home.
A Time for Killing | Introduction
By the end of 1964, Roger Corman was one of the most successful low-budget filmmakers in Hollywood, mostly working for American International Pictures. "Everything had been interesting, artistically satisfying, economically satisfying", Corman said eighteen months later. "But I decided I was going nowhere and wanted to move directly into the business." So he accepted a contract with Columbia. Corman had a deal to make three films with Columbia. "But every idea I submitted was too strange, too weird", he later said. "Every idea they had seemed to ordinary to me. Ordinary pictures don't make money today [in 1966] because audiences today are too intelligent...
A Time for Killing | Pre-production
The original director was supposed to be George Sidney, but he was replaced by Richard Whorf, who is probably best known for his television directing, particularly "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Gunsmoke" and "My Three Sons". Filming was interrupted for approximately ten days when Durante had to go and finish filming on "This Time for Keeps". The piano solos in the film were performed by the pianist and composer André Previn.

It was made by Columbia who asked Karlson to take over from Roger Corman on "A Time for Killing" (1967). He returned to the Matt Helm movies for the fourth and final one, "The Wrecking Crew" (1968), co-starring Sharon Tate and Elke Sommer.
Phil Karlson | 1960s
The film was shot at Shepperton Studios. Cohen says he had to direct the fire sequence because director James Hill went missing. "Hill had a habit of disappearing," said the producer. "He was a nice guy, but strange. Nobody could get close to him. And he was always fidgety and very nervous."
A Study in Terror | Shooting
He proposed a movie about the St Valentine's Day Massacre and also an adaptation of the novel "Only Lovers Left Alive". Nick Ray was meant to be making "Only Lovers" in Britain. Corman did begin directing "Long Ride Home" with Glenn Ford at Columbia. However, Corman left production a few weeks into the shoot in June 1966 and was replaced by Phil Karlson. The film was retitled "A Time for Killing" (1967).
Roger Corman | "The Wild Angels"
The original score of the film was composed by Van Alexander who was given seven weeks to compose 45 minutes of music for the film. He collaborated with Ned Washington for a title song by Eddy Arnold. Though producers Harry Joe Brown, Jonie Taps and Columbia's Mike Frankovich were enthusiastic about Alexander's score, once the film was met with a disastrous reception at a preview it was decided to restore the film with a guitar score by Mundell Lowe.

I’m an actor. That wasn’t a problem." Eric Edwards shot the time-lapse photography shots on his own. They were not in the script and the film's producer was worried that he was using up too much film. Van Sant originally had the screen go black when Mike passed out but was not satisfied with this approach. He used Edwards' footage as a way of "an altered sense of time" from Mike's perspective. Some executives at New Line were not in favor of the Shakespeare scenes and wanted Van Sant to cut them all out. However, foreign distributors wanted as much Shakespeare in the film as possible.
My Own Private Idaho | Principal photography
The film was based on a 1961 novel "The Southern Blade". The "Los Angeles Times" called it "fast moving" The "New York Times" said it was full of "military stereotypes" but that it was written with "professional skill." In October 1964 the screen rights to the novel were purchased by producer Harry Joe Brown. He set up the project at Columbia where he joined forces with Roger Corman.
A Time for Killing | Development
Principal photography took place over 12 days. Due to the film's small budget, the crew was limited to "a camera and a tripod", with no access to camera dollies or cranes. As a result, the camera remains static throughout the film, causing Foley and cinematographer Eduardo Barraza to include enough movement in the shots to keep viewers from "getting bored". In order to keep the budget down, the actors were paid the Screen Actors Guild minimum of $100 a day, although several cast members invested their pay back into the film.

That is the problem with direction. Beyond my first or second film, I don't think I've ever had terrible dilemmas based upon resources, but shooting and figuring out how is not a problem, never was.

Corman says when he cut together the work of the five directors "we all had interpreted the story differently and it showed. I saw two things working against it. There were some gaps in logic; and frankly it struck me as a little dull." Corman felt the story "made sense but it had no spark. It all seemed so predictable." He also felt the lighting from the first two days was flat. Corman says that when he cut together Karloff's footage, he realized that "it didn't make sense" so he filmed a scene between Dick Miller and Jack Nicholson (in close-up because the sets had been taken down) and got them to explain the plot.
The Terror (1963 film) | Corman reshoots
Corman originally wanted to shoot the film on location in Chicago but eventually shot it on the Fox backlot. He filmed the massacre scene in a Desilu lot that was converted to resemble the garage where the crime was committed, as the real garage had been demolished by the time at which the movie started production. Before filming, Corman found photos of the murder scene. He asked the actors to study the stills before rehearsals and the shoot. After one take, the massacre looked like that of the photos, and each actor's collapse matched the positions in which the victims fell in the real massacre.

Paul Gaita from Allmovie called the film " threadbare and blandly executed", but also noted that the film's pacing, and performances were more professional than the director's previous efforts. Finishing his review, Gaita wrote, "No one will mistake this for a classic of the genre, or even one of Corman's titles, but for Buchanan completists and late movie devotees, it's a harmless and agreeable time-killer."

Corman says filming commenced using a first draft, which was rewritten constantly throughout the shoot. "Winter was coming and I wanted to do the film", said Corman. "I was going to be shooting in New Mexico. I actually shot in December and to wait one more month would have put me in January and I could not have made the film. To wait till next summer would have dated the material I was dealing with, so I wanted to bring the film out early." Armitage recalls, "We went back in '69 to shoot in New Mexico and Texas. I was the associate producer as well, and we were writing it as we went—which is something that Roger liked to do.

While shooting the POV scene wherein Mallory runs into the wire mesh, director of photography Robert Richardson broke his finger and the replacement cameraman cut his eye. According to Oliver Stone, he was not popular with the camera department on set that day. For the scenes involving rear projection, the projected footage was shot prior to principal photography, then edited together, and projected onto the stage, behind the live actors. For example, when Mallory drives past a building and flames are projected onto the wall, this was shot live using footage projected onto the facade of a real building. The famous Coca-Cola polar bear ad is seen twice during the film.

Towne started writing for television on such programs as "The Lloyd Bridges Show", "Breaking Point", "The Outer Limits", and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.". He also wrote a screenplay for the Corman-directed "The Tomb of Ligeia" (1965). In 1981 Towne said "I worked harder on... [that] screenplay for him than on anything I think I have ever done." Towne went back to working in television when Corman hired him to write a script for a Western, which became "A Time for Killing" (1967). Corman left the project during filming and Towne took his name off the credits. Towne said later he "hated" the film.

The cast rehearsed together in New York City and subsequently filmed in Pennsylvania on a six-week shooting schedule. During the half-way stage of shooting the producers decided to replace Joseph Sargent with Daniel Mann as director. It is also notable as one of the first film productions where an ensemble of actresses shaved their heads for the sake of their roles.

Money problems forced cinematographer Bill Pope to shoot only for certain hours Monday through Friday because he could not be paid his standard fee. Mesa shot many of the action sequences on the weekend. It was a difficult shoot for Campbell who had to learn elaborate choreography for the battle scenes, which involved him remembering a number system because the actor was often fighting opponents that were not really there. Mesa remembers, "Bruce was cussing and swearing some of the time because you had to work on the number system. Sam would tell us to make it as complicated and hard for Bruce as possible.

Jon Davison says a script was apparently written by Stephanie Rothman and Charles S. Swartz, but no one who worked on the film ever saw it. A draft was written by Kaplan and Danny Opatoshu, but Corman asked for it to be rewritten. It was shot in 15 days for under $100,000, including three days shooting at the Paramount Ranch. Corman removed a number of jokes from the final chase sequence so it was played straighter. Kaplan later said "When I looked at the filmographies of the directors I admired, I noticed that they made a hell of a lot of movies before they made a good one.

He and Kubrick clashed often during filming; on one occasion Kubrick favored a long tracking shot, with the camera close to the actors with a 25mm wide-angle lens to provide slight distortion of the image, but Ballard moved it further away and began using a 50mm lens. Kubrick sternly ordered him to put the camera back or he would be fired.

A Time for Dying is a 1969 Western film written directed by Budd Boetticher with a cameo role by Audie Murphy, who also produced the film, as Jesse James. It was Murphy's last film, as well as the final dramatic feature for Boetticher.
A Time for Dying | Introduction
A Time to Die or Seven Graves for Rogan is a 1982 war-drama-criminal film directed by Matt Cimber and Joe Tornatore and starring Edward Albert, Rex Harrison, and Rod Taylor. It was shot in 1979. The producer had additional scenes written and shot without the involvement of the original writer and director.
A Time to Die (1982 film) | Introduction
(It turned out to be his only directing credit, with the exception of some scenes he filmed for Delmer Daves in "The Hanging Tree", released in 1959.) One reviewer praised the movie for its "taut direction and vigorous performances drawn not only from principals, but a supporting cast of promising new-comers." The outdoor scenes on an Army post were shot on location at Fort Jay, then an active Army post located on Governors Island, New York in early May 1957. The opening scene in the film shows Colonel Edwards walking through the island, and passing through Liggett Hall. Additional scenes - the Korean prison scenes - were also shot at the Conejo Ranch near Agoura, California.

Shooting took 13 days. Gene Corman said "this was the first time I had tried to shoot in snow and it was very difficult. But the picture had a whole new look." Hellman says "it wasn’t fun to make at all. It was my first film and we had 13 days to shoot, and by noon of the first day we hadn’t gotten a shot because the equipment was all frozen – it was 10 degrees below zero and we couldn’t get anything to run... Roger Corman, who was the executive producer, was screaming on the phone that if we didn’t get our first day's quota he was gonna be on a plane the next day and take over the picture.
Beast from Haunted Cave | Shooting
Corman felt that if mention was made three times during the course of the film that Gashade had a brother, audiences would not be confused by the climactic sequence. Hellman reluctantly agreed. After briefly considering Sterling Hayden for Gashade, Hellman was shopping in a Los Angeles bookstore when he suddenly and simultaneously thought of Perkins, Warren Oates, and Will Hutchins for the main roles. Perkins was Hellman's next-door neighbor at the time, and she had known both Hellman and Nicholson for many years, having first met them while all of them were attending the same acting class. Hellman immediately telephoned Nicholson with his casting idea.
The Shooting | Production
Interiors were shot with three cameras in wide, lingering master shots in single takes. Welles states that Corman "had two camera crews on the set—that's why the picture, from a cinematic standpoint, is really not very well done. The two camera crews were pointed in opposite directions so that we got both angles, and then other shots were 'picked up' to use in between, to make it flow. It was a pretty fixed set and it was done sort of like a sitcom is done today, so it wasn't very difficult."

In a 1998 interview with Larry King, when asked if he ever regretted making any film, Newman bitterly responded "that volcano movie." However, it is believed his salary for this film was used to start up his Newman's Own company.
When Time Ran Out | Shooting
When the crew left the set, Corman did not hire a guard, telling the film's assistant director that "anyone who'd come out here, steal the equipment, and carry it through this mud is welcome to get it." Due to the quick shooting schedule, the rain forced several exterior scenes to be re-written to be shot inside. Other scenes were shot with a large tarp draped over the actors. Due to the fact that the rainfall was audible in the background, Corman used the film's score and an assortment of sound effects to drown out the noise. The first scene shot was Beverly Garland and John Ireland's love scene in a tree.

Hannant left the film during post production ("one step ahead of being fired," according to Baxter) and some extra scenes were shot by the editor.

After the Karloff scenes were shot, Gordon wrote the rest of the script for the movie. Dick Miller says "about three months later, when things slowed down" he "got a call: we were going to make a movie. I had forgotten all about it, literally. " Corman could not direct the rest of the film himself. He said after shooting the Karloff sequences "I didn't have the money to shoot the rest of the picture union, which meant I couldn't direct myself because I was personally signed with the unions." Corman had recently hired Francis Ford Coppola to work as his assistant on "Battle Beyond the Sun" and "The Haunted Palace", and assigned him to direct the rest of "The Terror".

Corman still needed more footage for the flooding sequence, but then Coppola accepted a job at Seven Arts and was no longer available to do the required work. Coppola recommended a friend from UCLA, Dennis Jakob, who Corman hired to shoot shots of water at Hoover Dam. Corman says Jakob took three days and used Corman's camera and equipment to shoot his thesis movie on the side. Corman was annoyed but knew this was the sort of thing Corman liked to do himself. He used Jakob as Karloff's stand in for later scenes.

Principal photography began in January 1971, but unexpected weather threatened production. Even after Pollack mortgaged his home to supplement the limited budget, production remained constrained. "The snows of St. George in southern Utah were terrible," said Pollack, "and we were using Cinemobiles as the lifelines. There was no way I was going to let it overrun, and Bob was a superb partner in keeping us tight. In the end it was the greatest way to learn production, because I was playing with my own money." Struggling with weather and the budget, rarely were the crew able to shoot any second takes.

The Cagneys admired the play and acquired its film rights on the condition that theirs not be in release longer than seven years. They gave their director and cinematographer two weeks for blocking, but changed their minds once filming began, spending freely and breaking their budget. The film was shot mostly on one set The film was shot using Saroyan's original ending where Kit shot and killed Blick offstage, whom the Production Code Administration had forced the producers to change from a police detective into an informer and blackmailer. The audience heard the shots and saw Kit walk in relating the event as one of his stories "I shot a man once.

These were achieved by taking old wide-angle lenses and mounting them onto the front of several cameras (Arri Macros in this case). Deakins claimed to have pioneered this technique, naming these combinations of lenses "Deakinizers", which created the effect of vignetting and a slight color aberration around the edges. Deakins recalls: Several time-lapse sequences appear throughout the film, which were shot by Steadicam operator Damon Moreau. According to Moreau, he was sent to do such shots when the crew was not quite ready to shoot a scene. These time-lapse sequences were often accompanied by the film's melancholic score, suggesting the passage of time and contributing to the uneasiness that builds up to the inevitable yet unsettling climax.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford | Cinematography
By the time principal photography wrapped on "City of Hope", Richardson was ready to make Stone's film. To prepare, Richardson read up on various JFK assassination books starting with "On the Trail of the Assassins" and "Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy". The original idea was to film the opening sequence in 1.33:1 aspect ratio in order to simulate the TV screens that were available at the time of the assassination, then transition to 1.85:1 when Garrison began his investigation, and finally switch to 2.35:1 for scenes occurring in 1968 and later. However, because of time constraints and logistics, Richardson was forced to abandon this approach.

In April 1966 Glenn Ford signed to star. The following month Cliff Robertson signed to co star. Eventually Robertson dropped out and was replaced by George Hamilton whose fee was a reported $100,000. Inger Stevens and Max Baer Jnr also joined the cast. Warren Beatty had been offered the lead role but turned it down. However he was impressed by Towne's writing, and later hired the writer to do uncredited work on the script for "Bonnie and Clyde", which led to a long collaboration between the men. The film was Harrison Ford's first film with a credited role; despite not having a middle name, he was billed as "Harrison J.

Enough, already." In his review for "Time", Richard Corliss criticized McQuarrie for devising, "a two-hour gunfight interrupted by questions of paternity. But he's not so hot as a director, so what aims at being terrifying is just loud and goofy." Peter Stack, in his review for "San Francisco Chronicle", wrote, ""The Way of the Gun" attempts to be poetical Peckinpah, but it's a pointless exercise in gun violence with characterizations so thin they vaporize."
The Way of the Gun | Critical response
The Cullen brothers offered him another role, and again, Willis declined to shoot the scene. The next day, the producers of the film stated that the scene needed to be cut, leaving Garman without an appearance in the film. The story mirrored that of his co-host, director Kevin Smith, who had similar stories of Willis' behaviour during the filming of "Cop Out". Principal photography began on June 29, 2015, in Venice, Los Angeles. The film was shooting under the working title "Going Under".
Once Upon a Time in Venice | Production
Corman felt "The Terror" still required more work, so he hired Monte Hellman to shoot exteriors at the cliffs of Palos Verdes with Nicholson and Miller and scenes at Santa Barbara. Nicholson says this involved "more raven stuff, more scenes with Jackie Haze." Jack Hill was hired to re-write the script for these sequences. Hill later said. "We salvaged whatever footage we could salvage that was usable from what Francis shot, which was quite a bit, and then I wrote yet a new story. It required a whole change in story... That's when I got the screen credit for working on the script because eventually quite a bit of what I wrote was in the final picture and a lot of what Francis did was thrown out." Monte Hellman said he "found the challenge of making a movie in five days exciting, especially with no budget." Corman says Hellman's footage changed the storyline once more "but it looked alright" .

Shots in Threequarter Time (, ) is a 1965 crime film directed by Alfred Weidenmann.
Shots in Threequarter Time | Introduction
Principal photography began in the summer of 1970 with a planned shooting schedule of 60 days. Financial troubles plaguing the studio at the time forced Zanuck to shorten Sarafian's shooting schedule by 22 days. In response, the director decided not to film certain scenes rather than rush through the rest of the shoot. An average day of filming involved the actors and the crew of 19 men spending many hours traveling to the remote locations, shooting for an extended period of time and then looking for a motel to spend the night. The shoot had a few mishaps, including Newman driving a Challenger equipped with three cameras into the bushes in order to avoid a head-on collision when a "civilian" driver ignored the traffic blocks installed to ensure the safety of the crew.

One of the most popular and successful film directors and producers, Steven Spielberg was convinced that if Hitchcock were alive, he would have wanted to direct the movie. Spielberg also mentioned regrets in not taking the script. The principal photography on the film was completed in ten days, with an additional two days of establishing shots, pickups, and re-shoots. This accelerated filming schedule was aided by the adoption of French hours, a work schedule that skips the typical one-hour production shutdown for lunch break. The film is set in real time, so the timespan in which the film takes place is as long as it takes to watch it, much like the television series "24", which also stars Kiefer Sutherland.

This causes Robert and Jeff to question their work, their relationship, the artistic health of contemporary film-making, and the ethics of shooting cows with firearms. The other two roles are a hard-nosed manager (Reuben) and a geeky production assistant (Craig).
Hidden in This Picture | Plot
More work needed to be done on the movie when Hellman was hired on another job, so Corman used Jack Hill to finish the movie. Corman says Hill was called away just before the end, so Jack Nicholson directed on the last day. It was the first time Nicholson had directed a film. However Hill denies Nicholson directed any footage on "The Terror", claiming it was Corman who directed the last day. "This was about a year later", said Hill, "I mean it took about a year for all this to go down, and he brought in a double for Boris Karloff, Dennis Jakob, who looks as much like Boris as I do.
The Terror (1963 film) | Jack Hill
Principal photography on the film began in Los Angeles, California on September 11, 2017. The film had a production budget in the range of $40–47 million, with McCarthy getting paid between $10–17.5 million. There were a total of 125 puppets in the film with 40 created specifically for it. To accommodate the puppeteers, all of the sets were built up so that the puppeteers could stand on the floor, since their optimum way to operate the puppets is if they are standing with straight arms. Because the floor of the sets came up in pieces, the human actors had a two-foot margin to stay on their path.

Murphy spent the next year and a half trying to raise additional funds for completion and post-production. Two of Murphy's sons made their motion picture debut appearing in small roles in the film, with Murphy's long term Associate Willard Willingham playing Frank James. Boetticher later said "Audie got in real trouble with some people in Las Vegas, and he needed a director to make a picture, and he would be the producer. He was a friend, and he was in trouble, so I made the picture for him. But then Audie was killed in a place crash shortly after the film was finished (on May 28, 1971), so the whole thing was just tragic."
A Time for Dying | Production
The script was ruined. Mel Welles said "it was a wonderful script and it probably would have been the cult film rather than "Little Shop of Horrors" had it been shot that way. But either Roger or someone at American International Pictures didn't think it was commercially viable to do it that way and at the last minute a decision was made to rewrite the script without that." By the time "The Undead" was being made, the popularity of reincarnation was starting to dwindle. Therefore, Corman decided that they needed to change it up a little and added the time travel elements of Quintis, and a title change.
The Undead (film) | Script
According to director Allan Holzman he began shooting without a script with these directions from Corman: "You have four days to write, produce and direct a seven- to eight-minute opening of a space movie… I'll give you an astronaut and a robot, and if you need any inspiration, I've always wanted to do a version of "Lawrence of Arabia" in outer space."

Time Out for Murder is a 1938 American crime film directed by H. Bruce Humberstone, written by Jerome Cady, and starring Gloria Stuart, Michael Whalen, Chick Chandler, Douglas Fowley, Robert Kellard, Jane Darwell and Jean Rogers. It was released on September 25, 1938, by 20th Century Fox.
Time Out for Murder | Introduction
Bogdanovich got the chance to make "Targets" because Boris Karloff owed studio head Roger Corman two days' work. Corman told Bogdanovich he could make any film he liked provided he used Karloff and stayed under budget. In addition, Bogdanovich used clips from Corman's Napoleonic-era thriller "The Terror" in the movie. The clips from "The Terror" feature Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff. A brief clip of Howard Hawks' 1931 film "The Criminal Code" featuring Karloff was also used.

Filming started on May 17, 1982. Murphy started a few weeks after principal photography began because he was finishing up a season of "Saturday Night Live". The shoot went well but Hill ran into problems with studio executives. Michael Eisner, then head of Paramount, was worried that the film was not funny enough. Hill and his co-screenwriter, Larry Gross wrote more material tailored to Nolte's and Murphy's personalities. By Hill's account, they rewrote Murphy's character right to the very last day of shooting. Executives also found the footage of the gunfight in the hotel to be too violent and were worried that it would kill the film's humor.

Peter Hyams had previously made "Busting", an R-rated movie about vice cops which had not performed well commercially. With "Our Time", "I was trying to do the opposite of what I had done before," he says. Upon viewing the film, critics took note of the bad cinematography, particularly the repeated instances of seeing sound and lighting equipment in many shots. Pamela Sue Martin, Parker Stevenson and George O'Hanlon Jr. all would star in "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" later in the 1970s.

You do see some ingenious daredevil feats, but they're crowded together and, the way they're set up, they don't give you the irresponsible, giddy tingle you're hoping for." Kael also singled out the dispirited direction and the hopeless script. "Director John Glen stages the slaughter scenes so apathetically that the picture itself seems dissociated. (I don't think I've ever seen another movie in which race horses were mistreated and the director failed to work up any indignation. If Glen has any emotions about what he puts on the screen, he keeps them to himself.)"

Varno, however, said he was not happy with how the filming process went, and that the Cormans changed dialogue and story elements without his consultation or permission. He said it reached the point where he called his agent and said, "I am not working for these sons of bitches any more! I am sick and tired of the whole thing!" All of the interior scenes were shot at sound stages inside Kling Studios. Most of the exterior shots were filmed at Bronson Canyon, a set of caves at Griffith Park in Los Angeles that was a popular shooting location for low-budget films.
Night of the Blood Beast | Filming
The principal photography starts in 2018 but film didn't release it due to overconfident nature and lack of knowledge about the direction of director.

As they were being pulled down around our ears, Roger was dashing around with me and a camera, two steps ahead of the wreckers. It was very funny. Corman says they were so pressed for time towards the end of the second day, the crew shot footage without slating the shots.

In 1978's "The Detective in Hollywood" by Jon Tuska claimed it "is in every way superior to the later remake, "The Brasher Doubloon"".
Time to Kill (1942 film) | Critical response
True to guerrilla filmmaking, many times the extras and the crowd in the frames did not even know that shooting was being done. At any given point of time, only the director, the cinematographer and the lead actor, and depending on which location was being filmed - the secondary character was present on the sets. Midway through shooting the original script, the main location (the protagonist's house) collapsed. One day the building was there, and the next day the third floor caved in on the second. And so the location was cordoned off, even though 60 percent of shooting was still left to be done at that location.
The Untitled Kartik Krishnan Project | Production
The first two days of filming on "The Terror" took place on the weekend after "The Raven" finished on a Friday. Corman directed all these sequences using the crew from "The Raven". According to one report "mostly Corman shot people walking down hallways, entering doors and having a few conversations." The director says they had a rough storyline "but no one really knew what their character's motivations were because we didn't know what was supposed to happen to them." The uniform worn by Jack Nicholson was used by Marlon Brando in "Désirée" (1954). Boris Karloff later recalled: Corman had the sketchiest outline of a story.
The Terror (1963 film) | Shooting
Principal photography lasted from February 8 to May 6, 1995. Shooting on location in Philadelphia and Baltimore (including the Senator Theatre) in winter was fraught with weather problems. There were also technical glitches with the futuristic mechanical props. Because the film has a nonlinear storyline, continuity errors occurred, and some scenes had to be reshot. Gilliam also injured himself when he went horseback riding. Despite setbacks, the director managed to stay within the budget and was only a week behind his shooting schedule. "It was a tough shoot", acknowledged Jeffrey Beecroft ("Mr. Brooks", "Dances with Wolves"), the production designer. "There wasn't a lot of money or enough time.
12 Monkeys | Filming
The film was shot in 2005 under the working title "A Moment in the World" and features footage from 40 camera crews that were dispatched across the globe for a period of six days. On January 11, 2005, at 12:00 noon Greenwich Mean Time, all 27 crews captured what was in front of their cameras for three uninterrupted minutes. The result is the penultimate scene of the film in which a juxtaposition of moments creates a sample of the broad tapestry of life that makes up any given moment on earth. It was Jolie's directorial debut.
A Place in Time | Production
Principal photography began in Sweden during April 1972, but the shoot was beset by numerous problems. Film equipment was either lost or delivered late, and the necessary money was nowhere in sight. Lewis was repeatedly assured that money was forthcoming by Wachsberger, who did not appear at all on set. Wachsberger not only ran out of money before completing the film, but his option to produce the film expired before filming began. He had paid O'Brien the initial $5,000 fee, but failed to send her the additional $50,000 due her prior to production. Lewis eventually ended up paying production costs with $2,000,000 of his own money to finish shooting the film, but the parties involved in its production were never able to come to terms that would allow the film to be released.
The Day the Clown Cried | Filming
Principal photography began on November 17, 2014 in Cincinnati, Ohio, under the title "The Blunderer". In December 2014, a casting call was put out for 1950 cars, and male extras. Production concluded on December 16, 2014.
A Kind of Murder | Filming
The film was one of the few that Corman directed from a major Hollywood studio with a generous budget and an open-ended schedule. However, Corman was disgusted with the great waste of time and money involved with typical film-production techniques. He was given a $2.5 million budget and completed the film with $400,000 to spare. Corman, an independent director, was most comfortable in his own style: shoestring budgets and condensed shooting schedules. The shoot took just over seven weeks, though this marked the longest duration for any of Corman's film. "By the end of the movie I was very weary," he said.
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (film) | Shooting
For AIP, Corman returned to the director's chair for a gangster film, "Bloody Mama" (1970), starring Shelley Winters and a young Robert de Niro. It was a big hit at the box office. He also directed a black comedy, "Gas-s-s-s" (1970), written by George Armitage; it was cut without his permission by AIP, and was a financial failure. United Artists finally agreed to finance his Red Baron project, although they asked it be given emphasis on American characters. Accordingly, it was filmed as "Von Richthofen and Brown" (1971), shot in Ireland in July 1970. There were several plane crashes during filming and one person died.
Roger Corman | Final films as director
The principal photography of the movie was supposed to start in December 2014 but there was a change of producers and Buddy Safi and Arijit Barua Shawon had stepped into the producers’ shoes. The principal photography was rescheduled for September 2015. In June 2015, famous action director from Hollywood Igor Breakenback was appointed as the action director. I gor designed some unique action sequences which haven't been showcased in Dhallywood before.
Mrittupuri: Kill Zone | Pre-production
Before the film was titled "In Time", the names "Now" and "I'm.mortal" were used. On July 12, 2010, it was reported that Amanda Seyfried had been offered a lead role. On July 27, 2010, it was confirmed that Justin Timberlake had been offered a lead role. On August 9, 2010, Cillian Murphy was confirmed to have joined the cast. The first photos from the set were revealed on October 28, 2010. 20th Century Fox and New Regency distributed the film, and Marc Abraham and Eric Newman's Strike Entertainment produced it. In an interview with Kristopher Tapley of "In Contention", Roger Deakins stated that he would be shooting the film in digital, which makes this the first film to be shot in digital by the veteran cinematographer.
In Time | Production
Earlier on, I had asked for Tourner ["sic"] on one of my "Twilight Zones"... They said, 'Well, he's a movie director. I don't think he can handle this time schedule' . . . As I recall, he did the shortest shooting schedule of anyone—twenty-eight hours. He had this book with every shot in it and detailed notes. He knew exactly what he was doing every inch of the way. He was so organized."
The Comedy of Terrors | Production
Production finally began in July 2008, in Muncie, Indiana, after Jones had completed his promotional duties for Hellboy II. Principal photography lasted for 20 days. During the shooting of several scenes, the temperatures would reach triple-digits, but the young crew and the experienced cast kept working and shooting wrapped only one day behind what had originally been scheduled, with only a single pick-up shot filmed some time later (to replace a shot that was unusable due to a digital glitch in the original footage).
My Name Is Jerry | Development
Hanson wrote the script originally with the killer as a female. Corman liked it but felt it was "a little too different" for the killer to be female so asked she be turned male. The producer, Tamara Asseyev, was Corman's former assistant.
Sweet Kill | Development
Judge made the transition from animation to live-action with the help of Tim Suhrstedt, the film's director of photography, who taught him about lenses and where to put the camera. Judge says, "I had a great crew, and it's good going into it not pretending you're an expert". Principal photography began in Texas in May 1998. It did not start off well. By the third day of shooting, temperatures had risen over , and smoke from fires in Mexico was filling the sky over Austin, making it white. Suhrstedt says that forced the postponement of the opening traffic-jam scene until it cleared.
Office Space | Principal photography
Principal photography was shot as "Freaky Fairy Tales" in New York City in 1984, and finished post-production in 1985. The title was initially changed to "Deadtime", but was settled as "Deadtime Stories".
Deadtime Stories (film) | Production
The writer wanted a sense of authenticity to underpin the film. To achieve this a vast amounts of research were conducted which included an interview with President Bush, which led to true scenes appearing in the film, such as: Rumsfeld's early breakfast meeting on the morning of September 11, Cheney ordering the plane being shot down, and President Bush receiving PAPD Officer George Howard's badge from his grieving mother Arlene. The writer wanted to answer a number of questions many people had that day, most notably where was President Bush and why was he out of contact for so long.

With Time to Kill | Introduction
"It! The Terror from Beyond Space" was financed by Edward Small and was originally known as "It! The Vampire from Beyond Space". Principal photography took place over a two-week period during mid-January 1958. "It!" was the last film of actor Ray "Crash" Corrigan. Corrigan was set to play the creature, but during pre-production, he did not want to travel all the way to Topanga in western Los Angeles County where Paul Blaisdell, the film's makeup artist, lived and operated his studio. Therefore, Blaisdell could not take exact measurements of Corrigan's head. Consequently, there were final fit problems with the creature's head prop: "[Corrigan's]...
It! The Terror from Beyond Space | Production
Many locations were used around the Los Angeles area including the famous Vasquez Rocks and Bronson Caves both of which have appeared in many films and television episodes. Shooting was problematic. Niciphor said that it became "hell" from the third day of shooting. "The script was too ambitious, the shooting schedule too tight and...the crew and the cast were largely sodden with drugs." The director claimed that Carradine was very open with his drug use and that Claudia Jennings had both a drinking problem and a cocaine problem. The film fell behind schedule and Corman threatened to replace Niciphor with Alan Arkush.

Killing Time (public information film) | Plot
According to an interview in Cinema Retro, associate producer Euan Lloyd stated that producer and star Richard Widmark did not like director Phil Karlson's proposed tongue-in-cheek direction of the screenplay written by Widmark's wife Jean Hazlewood. Widmark took over the direction of the film in September without credit. Karlson says Widmark hired him on the basis of "The Phenix City Story" because "he wanted to try to get realism in it" and the director told him "I wanted to do it as a James Bond. But he hadn't heard of James Bond. I said, "If we do this tongue in cheek, we'll be the first ones." He said, "No, I don't want to do it that way"." Karlson says he left for the last week of filming.
The Secret Ways | Shooting
In the middle of 1959, American International Pictures approached Roger Corman to direct a horror film—but only gave Corman a $50,000 budget and a five-day shooting schedule—plus leftover sets from "Diary of a High School Bride" (1959). Corman accepted the challenge but later said he was uninterested in producing a straightforward horror film. He claims he and screenwriter Charles B. Griffith developed the idea for producing a satirical black comedy horror film about the beatnik culture. Charles Griffith later claimed Corman was very uneasy at the idea of making a comedy "because you have to be good. We don't have the time or money to be good, so we stick to action."
A Bucket of Blood | Development
Director Katkin and composer Christopher Farrell state on the DVD commentary that the ending as originally written revealed the night's events were actually part of a film that was being shot at the studio, therefore the whole movie was a film within a film (within a film), and none of the preceding events were real. The film originally ended with a director yelling "Cut!" and the crew applauding. Katkin filmed this ending but didn't like it and edited it out. Director Brian Katkin spoke highly of the writers and gave them respectful mention to their work while being interviewed by Fangora Magazine, but sadly, Fangora's editing department had to shorten the interview for print and edited out various parts of the interview including Katkin's 'nod' to the writers.

Killing Time (2007 film) | Introduction
Principal photography began on June 21, 1937, without a completed script. This so concerned Ralph Bellamy that the Friday before filming started he contacted Harry Cohn to ask where the script was. Cohn declined to say anything about the film, and allowed Bellamy to talk to Leo McCarey. Bellamy went to McCarey's home to discuss the issue with him. McCarey was charming and witty, but evaded all of Bellamy's questions and concerns.
The Awful Truth | Principal photography
Principal photography for the film began in September 2013. Filming was almost shut down in 2014 after reports to the Los Angeles Police Department of "cries for help" from two of the actresses in the film, Sarah Nicklin and Kristin Wall. The actresses were just acting out a scene; unbeknownst to residents in the area despite being made aware of the film's production by the director.
Adam K | Filming
Principal photography was scheduled to begin on June 14, 2010, in Los Angeles on a budget of $12 million. Filming took place over twenty-five nights between 5pm and 5am on the Warner Ranch in Burbank, California. The set contained a faux residential area featuring multiple houses. The house belonging to Thomas was situated directly opposite the house used by Danny Glover's character Roger Murtaugh in the Silver-produced 1987 action film "Lethal Weapon". The production decided to film on a set because locating a real neighborhood that could be effectively closed off and which would allow filming throughout the evening and early morning proved difficult.
