The new "Doors" documentary "When You're Strange", will be released to theatres April 9. Narrated by actor Johnny Depp, the feature is written/directed by Tom DiCillo and produced by Dick Wolf, Rhino's John Beug, Jeff Jampol, (the band's manager) and Wolf Films' Peter Jankowski.
Made with the support of surviving band members Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and the Jim Morrison estate, the doc is considered by Manzarek to be the 'antidote' to director Oliver Stone's previous bio-pic about the band starring Val Kilmer as Morrison.
"Watching the hypnotic, hitherto unreleased footage of Jim, John, Ray and Robby, I felt like I experienced it all through their eyes", said Depp. "As a rock 'n' roll documentary, or any kind of documentary for that matter, it simply doesn't get any better than this".
The film uses footage shot between 1965 up to Morrison's death in 1971, including footage from Morrison and Manzarek's time together at UCLA's film school.
