Ray Manzarek the longtime keyboardist for the legendary psychedellic rock band The Doors revealed to Billboard.com that he is working on a major documentary for the Doors. This film will be in light of the 41st Anniversary of the debut self titled Doors album released back in 1966. Manzarek says that this film will be a diss at Oliver Stone’s film “The Doors” that stars Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison. If you remember this, Ray Manzarek hated “The Doors” film so much because the film never stayed true to the band and Jim Morrison himself. Ray Manzarek worked closely with Oliver Stone for the film, but then they had a fallen out after the film was released, Ray was upset how much garbage that film was. It appears that Ray Manzarek is “still” unhappy with Oliver Stone and Ray wants to make his own Doors documentary to show Oliver how it’s done.

Ray says the film will include never before seen footage of the Doors whether on stage performing, backstage segments, interviews with the band, or whatever is in there. They already filmed the first cut of the documentary and Ray says it won’t be out ’til the next 6 months.

As a big fan of the Doors, I am looking forward to this. Ray’s film sounds interesting!

Oliver Stone ruined The Doors, he’ll ruin George W. Bush with his movie too.
