Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr Featured in Documentary About the Sunset Marquee Hotel
The film uses archival footage, animation and interviews to trace the hotel’s 60-year role as a creative sanctuary for rock stars.
- On Aug. 14, These Walls Could Rock debuts at Landmark Sunset in Los Angeles, with simultaneous launches on Apple and Amazon. Directed by Tyler Measom, Craig, and Williams, the film chronicles the Sunset Marquis Hotel.
- For more than 60 years, the Sunset Marquis Hotel has served as a creative sanctuary for rock legends. Measom and Williams conceived the project after collaborating on a Paramount+ hair-metal documentary series.
- Rare archival footage and candid interviews feature Bruce Springsteen, Slash, and Dave Grohl. The film also details founder George Rosenthal and his son Mark's transformation of the site into a music landmark.
- Post-Screening Q&A sessions in Los Angeles unite filmmakers and special guests for audience engagement. Measom described the hotel as hiding in plain sight, revealing stories that sound made up but prove true.
- While the hotel is famous for its iconic guest list and rock misadventure, the documentary focuses on the father-son relationship at its heart. Measom noted that even frequent guests remain unaware of the vast, hidden history.
