A great part of the life and work of Youssef Ishaghpour was devoted to Welles art and films. His magistral 3 volumes study of Welles aesthetic is the most intelligent, profund publication I know in french language about Welles. I was hopping a new opus about The other side of the wind...but it will be only for... the other side of this world...

From Wellesnet Facebook:

Matthias Heim - "This is very sad. His analysis of Welles films is wonderfully detailed and the three books make you discover the films anew. It’s a shame they received little attention among Anglophone Welles scholars, because he was a fantastic scholar."

From Joseph McBride:
"I'm sad to report that Roger Corman has died. He was 98 and kept producing films to the end. I was among many young people who got their first breaks from Roger, as a writer on ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL. He was a great, innovative producer who left a profound mark on the film industry.

Joe Dante received this email today from Roger's daughter Catherine:
It is with profound sadness, and boundless gratitude for his extraordinary life, that we remember our beloved husband and father, Roger Corman. He passed away on May 9th, at home in Santa Monica, California, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife Julie and his daughters Catherine and Mary. He was generous, open-hearted and kind to all those who knew him. A devoted and selfless father, he was deeply loved by his daughters. His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age. When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, “I was a filmmaker, just that.”'
