Oh boy do I love the films of Larry Cohen. The Stuff remains one of my all-time favorite horror films, but his entire filmography is priceless, so it’s definitely good news to hear that a feature-length documentary about the man is in the works and now has a trailer.
Titled King Cohen, the film is directed by Steve Mitchell and chronicles the life of Cohen through interviews with icons of the industry like Martin Scorsese and John Landis alongside longtime Cohen collaborators like Michael Moriarty.
I can’t wait to check this one out.
Buckle up for KING COHEN, the true story of writer, producer, director, creator and all-around maverick, Larry Cohen (Black Caesar, God Told Me To, Q: The Winged Serpent, The Stuff). Told through compelling live interviews, stills and film/TV clips, the people who helped fulfill his vision, and industry icons such as Martin Scorsese, John Landis, Michael Moriarty, Fred Williamson, Yaphet Kotto and many more, including Larry himself, bring one-of-a-kind insight into the work, process and legacy of a true American film auteur. Few can boast of a career as remarkable or prolific, spanning more than 50 years of entertaining audiences worldwide!
