We’re paying tribute to the late, great Val Kilmer by dimming the lights and firing up the projector with a tribute screening of one of his most iconic roles, that of rocker Jim Morrison in director Oliver Stone‘s historical drama about one of pop music’s most influential bands and impactful bands, The Doors. Kilmer’s performance as Morrison is a real career standout, and he gives a performance that is more than just an eerily uncanny impersonation, instead offering a transcendental portrayal that embraces and embodies the legendary rock star, right down to his signature baritone and self-destructive behavior.

Capturing the hedonistic chaos of the late ’60s, THE DOORS: THE FINAL CUT follows the life and times of the band’s enigmatic and magnetic front man Jim Morrison (Kilmer) from cradle to grave. Stone’s powerful musical portrait, featuring an amazing soundtrack including over twenty-five songs from The Doors’ catalogue, charts Morrison’s turbulent relationship with his muse Pamela Courson, the formation of the band in Southern California, his experimentation with hallucinogens and the occult, and his tragic death at the age of 27 in Paris. With Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan, Frank Whalley, Kevin Dillon, Kathleen Quinlan, Michael Madsen.

The 4K restoration was initiated and supervised by Oliver Stone himself, with the support of Studiocanal, Paramount, Lionsgate, and Immagine Ritrovata. The original negative was scanned in 4K 16-bit on Arriscan at Fotokem US. The restoration was managed by Immagine Ritrovata in Italy. The color grading was closely overseen by Stone. The new Dolby Atmos® mix was created at Formosa Group (Hollywood) under the supervision of Dolby, Wylie Stateman, and Lon Bender, the original sound editors of the film.

“This brand new 4K restoration of ‘The Doors’ in Dolby Atmos® will provide far greater overall clarity and dimension for the audience… I wanted the film to be as immersive as possible to a real ’60s Doors experience.” (Oliver Stone)

“”The Doors’ is a thrilling spectacle – the King Kong of rock movies – featuring a starmaking, ball-of-fire performance by Val Kilmer as Morrison.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)

“”It’s one hell of a ride and a real, roaring rock movie.” (Los Angeles Times)
