Jim Morrison to Be Honoured in New All-encompassing Documentary
- by Debbie Carr
THE DOCUMENTARY WILL FOCUS ON MORRISON AS A "POLYMATH", FEATURING NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN CONTENT FROM THE LATE ARTIST
Jim Morrison is set to be the subject of a new documentary detailing his multi-disciplined career, from being the frontman of The Doors to stints in poetry and filmmaking.
The feature – which is currently untitled – is being developed by the Morrison estate and Jampol Artist Management (JAM Inc.), who oversees the legacies of The Doors and Janis Joplin. It’ll be produced by independent studio Gunpowder & Sky, alongside Jeff Pollack of FourScore Entertainment.
“Jim Morrison has been known as the leather trousers-clad Dionysian rock star, the Greek god handsome, amazing singer, shaman and performer. But Jim was a polymath. Jim was a poet and a writer and a filmmaker long before he ever thought about music,” Jeff Jampol, CEO of JAM Inc., told Billboard.
