Heavy, Man

While on the resurrection of Morrison: a fictionalized Jim is en route. “Bird of Prey,” which may begin shooting this summer, finds him still alive and well, now 40ish and involved in intrigue.

It all begins when a female rock journalist, on vacation in Paris, encounters a tall, bearded man--with familiar handsome good looks. Is it possible. . . .?

She’s ultimately swept up in his quest to retrieve an art piece from thieves and return it to its Mexican homeland.

Director Pierre Zaidline, who recently scouted locations in Mexico (the film will also shoot in Paris and Morocco), declined to discuss the project with us--including whether it’s an authorized depiction.
