Dick Wolf is producing a full-length documentary on the Doors for theatrical release, and “Dogtown” chronicler Stacy Peralta is assembling a social history doc to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the iconic L.A. rock band.
Project from Wolf will include unreleased footage and interviews with the parents and sister of the band’s late lead singer, Jim Morrison. Bill Guttentag, who won an Oscar for helming Wolf Films’ short docu “Twin Towers,” will direct.
The Doors Music Co. is co-producing.
Peralta, who directed and wrote the doc “Dogtown and Z Boys” and wrote the feature “Lords of Dogtown,” is developing “Six Nights, Six Records, Six Years,” a social history overview as seen through the Doors’ lives and music.
