New Doors Documentary "The Anti-Oliver Stone Movie"

Just in case you didn't know, Oliver Stone's 1991 Jim Morrison bio-pic, The Doors, is not exactly the movie the rest of the Doors wanted. In fact, keyboard player Ray Manzarek says the band has been working on a mammoth new documentary that he hopes will shed some light on the real glory days of the band. "This is the anti-Oliver Stone [movie]," proclaims Manzarek. "This will be the true story of the Doors. That's the whole point of it." Manzarek vows to offer never-before-seen footage of Morrison and the band, which blazed a new trail of cryptic acid rock during the late 60s before breaking up in 1972, a year after Morrison's death. Both Morrison and Manzarek were students at UCLA film school once upon a time, which should give Manzarek a little extra credibility while assembling the documentary. "I saw the first cut of it yesterday, and it's looking real good," Manzarek said. "But that won't be out 'til another six months."

As if that's not enough, Manzarek is working on original film scripts, too.

"I've got a film script based on L.A. Woman, and another one in which three UCLA film school guys go to the desert to take peyote with the Native Americans at the Native American Church. They run into the people from the Native American Church - the peyote church. And all the shit that happens to them, you can imagine...It's a journey into manhood."
