Tim Sullivan (Driftwood, Chillerama, Vh1.s Scream Queens) has optioned the rights to Doors co-founder Ray Manzarek.s bestselling novel The Poet in Exile. Plans call for a feature film to be written and directed by Sullivan and produced by Manzarek. Sullivan will co-write the script with Chillerama producer and editor Gavin Heffernan (Expiration) and New Mexico poet/author Liz Sullivan (Icons and Outcasts).
Published to strong acclaim, Manzarek.s novel explores the notion .what if. his former band mate, the iconic rock and roll poet and legend Jim Morrison, did indeed stage his death in 1971 (as widely speculated), and now, 40 years later, contacts Manzarek from his hiding place in the Seychelles Islands to embark on one final journey of rock and roll rebellion.
The Doors are not unfamiliar with the celluloid screen. Between Oliver Stone.s epic biopic The Doors and the highly praised documentary When You.re Strange...

Imagine seeing this in the morning
If the world ended tomorrow, if you were one of the few survivors of a horrible zombie uprising, how exactly would you live? Sure, you might be the studly hero, bare chested and brave, dispatching zombies with both your whit and weapons.
Or you might be the nerdy scientist — though secretly hot once the glasses and clothes come off — who comes up with the formula to reverse the zombie virus and save the world, clothed or not.
You might even be the power mad dictator who used the end of the world to set yourself up as the ruler of your own domain, harem of hotties and spare nuclear bomb and all.
More than likely though, you’d just be one of The Locals.
A new web series on Facebook, The Locals is a mix of traditional sitcom with the modern fixation of zombies.
