La-La Land Entertainment presents its first feature film within a knockout Blu-Ray movie / CD soundtrack combo! -- Buckle up for KING COHEN, the award-winning* feature length documentary from director Steve Mitchell that MovieWeb calls “a necessary piece of film history” and BBC film journalist Mark Kermode hails as “Hugely entertaining!” Witness the true story of writer, producer, director, creator and all-around maverick, Larry Cohen (Black Caesar, It’s Alive, 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, J.J. Abrams, John Landis, Michael Moriarty, Fred Williamson 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.
