There was a great documentary a few years back about The Doors entitled "When You're Strange." Quite a rough and tumble life ol' Jim Morrison led there.
But we know all that story. It's been told time and again. And that story always ends with Jim going to Paris.
Well, what if Jim came back from Paris?
I'm producing a new documentary:
WHEN YOU'RE STRANGER: JIM'S BACK
1971: Jim Morrison comes back from Paris.
He informs his fellow Doors he's changed his mind and would like to make some extra money endorsing automobiles. Pontiac immediately begins airing "Light My Firebird" with shots of Morrison doing donuts in his Beverly Hills driveway.
That success leads to another lucrative endorsement: The Doors re-record songs for Dunkin' Donuts including "Cruller King Snake," "Soul Munchkin" and "When the Music's Over (It's Time to Make the Donuts)."
Morrison then signs on for several appearances on Animal Planet. Each week "The Lizard King" travels to a different exotic locale in search of the perfect lizards, gets drunk and eats them.
After several years and several more endorsements, taunts of "Sell Out!" on the Internet reach a fever pitch.
2013: Jim Morrison goes back to Paris.
