The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger is writing original songs for the upcoming heist comedy Carter & June. The film is written and directed by Nicholas Kalikow and stars Michael Raymond-James, Samaire Armstrong and Timothy Omundson. The movie tells the story of down-and-out New Orleans con man who tries to pay off a debt to a ruthless strip club owner by piggybacking off of someone else’s bank robbery and immediately gets in way over his head. Sean Covel (Napoleon Dynamite, Beneath, Cafe) is producing the project. Carter & June is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year. (THR)
As previously reported, Krieger is also involved in the drama The Poet in Exile, which is still in development.
