After years of anticipation, Joe Dante is finally going to have his script, about the time that Roger Corman took LSD, read on stage.

There's a screenplay that's been floating around for a while about the legendary and prolific filmmaker Roger Corman ("The Wild Angels," "House of Usher") called "The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes!" It's about the time Corman took LSD in anticipation of making his movie, "The Trip."

And this Wednesday, October 12, there will be a live reading of the script at the Vista Theater in Los Angeles as part of Cinefamily's new "greatest films never made" series.

Actor Bill Hader of Saturday Night Live fame will be playing Corman.

Alex Cohen spoke with the man behind the film, Joe Dante, known for his work on "Gremlins" and "Piranha."
