StudioCanal has confirmed an Ultra HD restoration of Oliver Stone’s film The Doors (1991), starring Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan, FranK Whaley, and Kevin Dillon. The new restoration will be released on Blu-ray on 22nd July in a four disc collector’s set, with a limited steelbook edition available.
In 1991, Oliver Stone crafted a psychedelic and powerful musical portrait that brilliantly captured the furious energy of the 60s and the myth of The Doors’ iconic front man, Jim Morrison – the man whose music shaped an era.
This new mix will offer audiences a unique, immersive experience of the amazing film soundtrack, which includes over twenty-five songs from The Doors back catalogue, and a vast array of other bonus features, including the feature length documentary When You’re Strange, narrated by Johnny Depp.
