Ray Manzarek is Planning Doors Documentary
Filed under: Documentary, Music & Musicals
Well, Ray Manzarek has lit my fire. The Hollywood Reporter posts that The Doors keyboardist is planning a documentary about the band's career, marking the 41st anniversary of the epic, self-titled album from the band. While he won't go specifically into what the documentary will cover, he says it will definitely have rare footage: "Absolutely -- that's the whole point of it. Never before seen! This is the anti-Oliver Stone. This will be the true story of the Doors."
Now, I have to give Stone's version some love, as it helped me to realize that my father had some kickass, old-school tastes, and that there was more to music than '80s crap. But Manzarek isn't just handing over more Doors goodness -- the documentary includes interviews with two ever-wonderful music men -- Henry Rollins and Perry Farrell. If John Frusciante is included anywhere in this, my inner fangirl might cause me to pass out.
But that's not all -- it seems Manzarek has got a few scripts he's working on. Sometime down the road we might see "L.A. Woman" become a feature film, or a story about some UCLA film students who take peyote with Native Americans in the desert.

Very curious... said...
As my inner fangirl would also like to pass out (like she almost did after the certain guy performed The Doors' "Blue Sunday" right in front of her), can you please reply and tell me if that's just your guess/idea or...? Thanks:)
