Getty Italian producer Fulvio Lucisano, who shepherded a slew of cult B-movies such as “Planet of the Vampires” and “What Have You Done to Solange?” and had a close rapport with Roger Corman, has died. He was 98.
His daughter Paola confirmed Lucisano’s death on Tuesday in a statement sent to Italian news agency ANSA, writing: “Rest in peace, Dad.”
Over seven decades in the film business, Lucisano mounted more than 150 projects in a panoply of genres, ranging from Mario Bava’s pulpy classic “Planet of the Vampires” to Franco Zeffirelli’s “The Young Toscanini,” starring Elizabeth Taylor as a primadonna soprano, as well as Buster Keaton-starrer “War, Italian Style.”
